Starting my second run after round 1 as tragically cut short by a seasonal flu .

All in all my first run was a major success; 8 pounds gained in the first 3 weeks of feast but all was lost while I remained bed ridden and unable to eat/exercise/live my damn life.

BUT here we are for round two, and i am more determined than ever

One question is in mind; I have a friend who was able to skip the third workout of famine so that he was able to gain traction during feast. I believe that i may have gone to far into famine on my first run, resulting in poor overall health which eventually lead to my sickness.

AND SO, how can I gauge if my body is to deep into the famine?

cheers

Couple of objective/subjective measures, to look for here...

OBJECTIVE

- Resting heart rate elevated at or about, 8 beats per minute above baseline..

- Loss of 1lb day or thereabouts, certainly anything exceeding this.. would be a red flag.

SUBJECTIVE

- Do people inquire as to, "Are you sick"?/"Do you need food..??"
- Do you need to run around in the shower, to get wet?
- Do you curse the name, "Rob Regish/Regish"... on a daily (if not minute) by minute, basis?

Any combination of the above, gets you to the grocery store - and a "pass", on workout #3....

Hope that helps!!

Thank-you very much, the pound a day was DEFINITELY exceeded on my first run

Another question that's been on my mind regarding 3.0:

You talked a lot about how 3.0 was revolutionary because of the effects of transforming fat into muscle throughout the program. Im 6' at about 152 pounds, fairly slim I know. Soccer for the last 14 years has kept me at this body type but now I'm lacking in the strength required to take my game to the next level (hopefully university). With all of the fat cutting elements of 3.0 is it really the program I should use? Or would 2.0 benefit my body type better?
