I had back pain for a week. I realised my gut was inflamed as my inguinal hernia was sore. A couple of days ago I decided to fast for 48. This morning I woke up with zero pain. Fasting is awesome

So no workout for 3-4 days? High fat/protein low carb a day prior, fast for 2 days, high fat/protein low carb, then workout and eat regularly on the 5th.

I read a comment that is dangerously misleading. Without describing it, I will give myself as an example. I am the kind of people who can eat a ton of junk food and drink a lot of high-fructose corn syrup sweetened drinks but not gain much fat. Then, by cutting out the junk food, I can get back to my normal weight relatively quickly. The problem is that there is the phenomenon of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. That is why there is the term "skinny fat people". The philosophy of eat less, move more as THE solution to preventing obesity doesn't address the issue of the formation of visceral fat. One big reason I do fasting protocols is to reduce visceral fat.
