I’ve been doing 12 hour fasts and a high protein/reduced carb diet since my surgery in January. Started doing pretty intense circuit training for 2-3 hours each week back in May instead of just cardio.
Overall I’ve lost 20 lbs of mass while gaining quite a bit of muscle since then. Got a clean bill of health late this summer. Look and feel the best I have since my late 20s when I got into pretty good shape.
Notably I’ve not gotten so much as a sniffle at all during this period of time despite frequently being in large groups of people. I’m probably at a relatively high risk of Smitty disease however.
