considering going on a long hike while fasting
been in keto/no sugar for a week
started fasting today
haven't eaten in 18 hours and don't feel hungry at all, which means my body has adjusted to using fat reserves for energy
planning on eating once every 2-4 days for the following week
then go on a hike sometime next week.
I'm 14kg above my lean weight so I have over 100k cals in the tank
aim is to get rid of my belly fat and shred as much fat as possible before I start lifting
will I make it?

Got any distance goals in mind?

200km with civilisation every 50km or so.
on second thought I might not fast, but only eat protein (canned salmon), to prevent muscle loss. while eating 0 carbs to promote using body fat for calories. will also take low carb electrolyte powder

Yeah, I wouldn't fast and hike and be remote all at the same time, crashing in the middle of nowhere is bad news.

From experience yeah you do have alot of energy storage from fat while fasting and it'll last surprisingly long, however (also from experience) with any physical exertion your body sometimes can't draw from it fast enough.

Chances are after enough exertion depending on your fitness level you will just throw yourself onto the trail and cry yourself to sleep until your body converts enough fat until you wake up again a few hours later to keep going.

How about if you try it, with will-power and time you'll make it sure but can you take a few canned fruit with you incase things really do get bad like heavy cold rain that could kill you fast if you run out of energy in a state like that for example.

Don't be afraid, it's not a failure to have some safety backup plans and it's definitely not a failure to use it if you must nomatter what, that's to keep you fraom failure.
Very good research on electrolyte powder btw, lack thereof can take several days to recover from.

Good luck!

I took my Muslim buddy on a 12 mile hike when he was doing that fasting bullshit or whatever they do. My God he cried so much. Some chick hit on him which he was saying would be the coolest thing in the world, then he whined to her and was like, I just wanna finish this and go home. Man I laughed so fucking hard. You might not die but you'll find a way to look and feel pretty stupid. Have fun with that shit.

Is this you? Are you alive?

I had a dream you died siphoning gas from a pickup truck at a gas station. The owners came out, beat you up, and drove away. You crawled into the gutter and passed.

Good luck on your journey.

I don't know what meds you're on but I'm OP. Went for a 10km walk with no rest today, felt a bit tired but I'm good now. With my backpack I might have to rest every 6/7km but that's ok, i'm not in a hurry.

You need to eat fat and water with protein or you will literally starve to death.

That's a long day's ride. And I'm guessing you were on the flat, so not exactly high energy.

>>2486480
How many days do you plan for those 50km? What kind of terrain is that 50km going to be. This is important. 50km on mostly flat you might make it. 50km of hilly or mountain terrain and you are going to have one helluva trouble getting enough energy from your """reserves"""

>planning on eating once every 2-4 days for the following week
Water fasting for a week can work but you need supreme willpower. Eating once every couple days will require even more willpower.
>200km
Could work
>civilisation every 50km or so
Shit idea. A host of things can go wrong if you stress your body like that, and you want to be a days march from help. Don't do that. Find a route that keeps you close to people in case something goes wrong.

at least eat protein or you will lose muscle mass from the combination of activity + normal protein turnover

OP here. I've changed my mind on trying to fast through the hike. Been on Keto for almost 2 weeks now and already lost weight while sitting on my ass so fasting on a long hike to lose weight isn't necessary and was probably a stupid idea..

Take a multivitamin to replenish your electrolytes and other nutrients. I would probably take one in the morning and one at night. Otherwise you’ll be fine I’m sure.
