Hey everyone! First post, I've been doing S&S for about 5 months and currently working to own 32kg.
One of my reasons for starting was to change my fate: the family heritage is all males get type 2 diabetes by 45. I just turned 30. In addition to changing my diet, moving to anti-glycolitic workouts and following Pavel's method, I do intermittent fasting and have lost considerable fat.
I found an article from a couple of Russian doctors that extol the virtues of "dry" fasting (no water) and naturally made me curious. Pop culture fitness says sweating isn't a measure of anything and stay peak hydrated at all times. I do know fighters will weight cut, then rehydrate but this is supposed "water weight" that is just regained.
My hypothesis is that sweat, hydration, and fasting are all linked to my desire to improve my body, despite what pop fitness tells me. Can anyone either confirm this or set me straight?
