Started fasting and now my skin (especially arms) feel hot and are glowing red, is this me burning fat?
Noah Allen
maybe lol, it's probably a rash or dry skin mate. did you shower? sweat?
put some lubriderm on it and drink water. if its a rash, use hydrocortisone
Adrian Adams
I get this every time I fast or change to a really clean diet. Mostly in the face. It feels warm like hot blood is flowing through and the skin becomes red. I drink a huge glass of water and take a nap. Usually, this is followed by the skin becomming really smooth and clean and my head feeling amazing. I think it might be 'detox' or whatever one might call it.
But since it is on your arms, it might be something else. Keto can make your sweat more like acid, so if you don't clean regularly, then it might give you a rash.

Gonna try to fast for three days. The longest I went ever is just for morning and afternoon. Ate protein for dinner. I plan to fast until my birthday any advice? I'm worried I'm doing too much too fast.

>planning to break fast tomorrow >weight has already dropped below what I had set for the next refeed target
Niiiice. Just gotta stay strong tonight (restaurant job, coworkers have gotten wise to what I'm doing & are now going on about starvation mode//constantly offering me delicious food) so really savour the progression tomorrow - drop even lower than I am now, break it with a big breakfast of eggs & actually lift not-fasted for once (leg day, slowly getting better at front squats), then go out & buy some quality igredients & do a proper re-feed. If I eat at work tonight it definitely won't be enough to keep me jamming until the next next re-feed on Thursday or Friday (unless I max out on bread butts).

Does pic related break my fast?
Joseph Collins
So, let's say I'm on a fast and I end up doing heavy lifting for today instead of keeping it light with maybe some light weighs and cardio.
How fucked am I gains wise, if at all?
Camden Torres
I've been continuing to make progress training 5+ times a week & maintaining a constant 48h+ fasting cycle, but I'm also still in the noobgains phase.
Ethan Clark
depends on what your goals for fasting are, if it's exclusively for weight loss you're fine
