The FastDay Forum

I've been IFing for a year now, lost 10kgs and have been on maintenance since November.

Currently I'm doing 6:1 and a bit. Meaning on the other day I fast for 24 hours then eat a normal meal.

My resting heart rate has always been fairly low - I had it down to 50 when I was in my 50s and doing a lot of cycling. I'm now in my mid-seventies. The last time I checked it - a while back now - it was around 60.

I checked it yesterday and it is now 45 beats per minute! I'm as fit as a flea and feel absolutely tip top - with an abundance of energy!

It can only be down to my IF regime.

Anyone else find their pulse rate going down?

I definitely have, Breadandwine. My BP had climbed to high normal and my pulse was usually in the high 70s until I started doing CV work at the gym (cycling). My BP went back to what it was 20 years ago and my resting pulse rate down to mid 60s. Following IF and continuing CV or HIT exercise, and now in my mid 60s, my resting pulse rate is down to 60 and below. Very pleased.
