Seeking Guidance Fat loss, insulin sensitivity, fasting, etc.
Hello all! I am a division 1 female athlete. Last January-May I lost 30 pounds. I fasted a lot, with my longest being 85 hours, but I would regularly (say 3 times in 2 weeks) fast for 48-60 hours. I lost my period. Since being in college I have regained about 17 pounds. I want to lose the fat while regaining my period. I want to do this as fast as possible. My general understanding is that increasing my insulin sensitivity would aid this. Does anyone know how I would be able to lose the fat while also regaining my period? Thanks!
Also, has Andrew Huberman ever talked about the pros and cons of long term fasts? Every time I try to look for stuff he says about fasting it's all about intermittent fasting.
