Short, hard cuts Vs long, slow cuts

Literally everyone on the /fast/ general can confirm. The snake diet guy even proved with body scans before and after that you can fast as long as 20 days and lose 0g of muscle. Calorie restriction eats muscle, fasting does not.

yeah just dont drink for a week, if you pas out that's normal keep going

1000 calorie deficit x 7 days a week = 7000 calorie deficit a week

1lb fat loss is generally approximated as 3500 calories, so that's 2lbs a week approximately

2lbs a week times 6 weeks is 12lbs, see how easy that was?

now post your physique/lifts faggot

Sounds too good to be true wow

How much weight can I lose on a fast then in a week assuming I’m like 17 percent bf?

Dude it's hard. I've made it 3 days. Just ask yourself this question.

Your body is way smarter than you are, so why would it go after muscle protein as fuel before it went after fat when muscle is so arduous to create? If our bodies ate muscle before fat, would we have survived our evolution?

I guess man you sound like a smart cookie

How is this fair ? All the big cats do shit nothing whole day and are still ripped.

that will kill you

Cite your sources pls

The fast thread is full of LARPing fags that won't post pics.

Peer reviewed literature or gtfo

vlcd or psmf is king

theres a lot more literature on it

your body needs the amino acids to make enzymes, otherwise nothing would work in your body.

where in that does it say water fasting works?

>cites a source
>the source has literally nothing to do with the topic being discussed
jesus christ

im not the first guy im saying water fasting is bull vlcd is superior and a search in scholar would give you a lot more results for vlcd than the fasting memeists

trips of truth

Now I'm gonna do it. I c
>your body needs the amino acids to make enzymes, otherwise nothing would work in your body.

I don't disagree. Muscle fibers and tendons and ligaments are not the only sources of protein. The only organ that requires glucose to operate is the brain. It requires Next to nothing, every day. Gluconeogenisis does not spontaneously occur. It occurs as necessary.

I mean... You can google this stuff and spend hours reading about it. I dont have the time to regurgitate that much information.

>Muscle fibers and tendons and ligaments are not the only sources of protein.
yah they are, retard. well, they're the only source that the body can readily draw from.

>The only organ that requires glucose to operate is the brain. It requires Next to nothing, every day. Gluconeogenisis does not spontaneously occur. It occurs as necessary.
What the fuck are you even trying to say. The brain accounts for like 30% of your total energy expenditure.

One cool thing about humans is that we have evolved to be very energy-efficient if needs be. One of the innovations we have is the brain's ability to use ketone bodies as a fuel source. Only after about 4 days after completely consuming fat stores does the body have to break down existing proteins to make up a ~10g day deficit between ketone production and needs. This is unimportant here, but the body then becomes more efficient at recycling proteins if the starvation continues.

Other mammals' brains cannot use ketones as a fuel supply and so their bodies are forced to degrade brain function to preserve skeletal muscles or break down skeletal muscles to preserve brain function.

Humans also developed the Cori cycle, which is important in both sustained anaerobic activities and begins to contribute more in fasting. In this process, lactic acid produced in the muscles as part of the normal anaerobic pathway is shuttled back to the liver cells and reprocessed into glucose before repeating the cycle again, basically squeezing out every last drop of energy.

/fast/ing is one of the greatest tools in our book, but it doesn't get publicized because nobody can profit, there's nothing to sell
you save money by not buying food

>using someone's instragram pictures as your own on the internet where people can easily prove it's not you
Also those weights are easily readable as 20lb weights.
That's only 240lbs.
That's entry level lifting and not anywhere close to 6pl8.
Get back to me when you actually start lifting.

this is bait

Water fast means you drink water while fasting. So no it won't kill you to not stuff your fat face for 7 days.
