How many days a week do I need to work out? And will intermittent fasting help me loose weight faster?

    IF may help you lose weight faster if it makes it easier for you to maintain a calorie deficit eating fewer meals. Workout out kind of depends on your goal. If you are trying to build strength then 3x/week, if you are trying to improve cardiovascular health then I think the recommendation is 30 min. every day.

    Whatever you can maintain. I can't fast as I get too hungry and then binge. I work out 10-11 hours a week (running). I have one rest day. Your goals, needs, and abilities, will be different. Do what you feel you can keep doing.
