Also I would continue to lift as to hold on to as much muscle as I can do that won't be a problem.

yes & yes

Yes 5 day fasting is ok just make sure to not drink any water as that will hydrate your fat molecules

how fat are you? post pics, it's probably not even worth it. just eat less and do more cardio. I'm ramping up my cardio in prep for thanksgiving.

>>34978855
I'm 22% body fat or so

When you're fasting you're not just cutting out calories. If you electrolytes get out of whack, you get a free 1-way ticket to sudden cardiac death.

I water fasted for over 3 weeks once.
If he doesn't cheat he'll be fine.

I tried "fasting" on whey protein shakes once... I got rapid / irregular heartbeat, etc.

I think your potassium / natrium (or how ever you say it in eglish)... AKA your electrolytes, keep pretty balanced for a good long while.
If not, it's more then likely he'll get cramps/irregular heartbeat problems, etc, first.
The body is smart that way.

For the love of God OP don't do this shit better off killing yourself tbhfam

That will kill you. But I don't need to tell you that. If you haven't had the will power to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly, you'll be shoving burgers in your mouth before the day's end. You're in no danger.

Hey OP, just did this
http://fourhourworkweek.com/2013/05/06/how-to-cut-weight-ufc/ in the last week (albeit a little less aggressive, lost 5kg in 7 days) and I strongly recommend it. I feel really good, you should try it, but be careful

5 days isn't long enough to put your body into ketosis. You'll just get really hungry and then binge eat.

What you can do to drop some weight is

Cleanse your body. Take a shake full of laxatives. I used to wrestle in hs and uni and would do this. Would drop ~5lb of shit and fluid in me.
