/fast/ - #165 - Awakened Edition

First time posting here, is dry fasting a meme? I was originally just gonna water fast with a spoonful of salt every day but I want to drop all of this weight fast. I'm talking like 100 pounds down by August, I'll do anything at this point.

16:8 doesn't even seem like fasting...
Isn't that normal eating hours?

look at my results, dry fasting isnt a meme brotha. but you certainly need to re-salt/re-feed every so often VVVVVVVVV

Wow how long did that tranformation take?
it's pretty impressive! As well as you don't look emaciated at such low bf%, good on ya.

but, jesus christ that underwear needs to go, upgrade to Aussiebums.

Adaptation fucking sucks. Your body takes a few days to swap over from glycogen to ketone usage even after glycogen stores are depleted. Muscle soreness might be due to a lack of electrolytes since your body flushes a lot of sodium and potassium out when you piss out the water that was stored with your glycogen stores. Buy some potassium salt like NoSalt or Lite Salt and mix a tsp with a liter of water and sip it over the day. You'll still feel kind of bad until your body fully adapts to keto but your muscles won't ache as badly. I know personally if I don't supplement potassium my legs cramp like hell when walking.

Your body isn't into ketosis yet. It takes a while, and even then you have ketones flu to contend with.

Being in your 2nd day it's probably potassium/sodium and general hydration that needs to be checked.

Alright, with no meal prep, and eating I realize I have about two to three extra hours a day for when I fast.

I already hit the gym, and now am wondering:

What do I do with that extra time?

Suggestions on hobbies or timekillers that aren't video games, porn or reading (I have a hard time sitting still with the energy spikes I get).

It's "fasting" for people who are convinced they need to eat 3-6 meals per day. It's a big bag of nothing for most people here. If I weren't doing a 47:1 I'd be doing 23:1.

what do you usually do with all the free time during the water fast?

Yes, it's literally skipping breakfast and not even recognized as fasting in this thread anymore.

Dang straight it sucks, but idk, it's an interesting experience too! And besides, i get to eat shit i never eat in my regular athlete diet.
Like bacon
mmmm bacon.

Can those salts be purchased in any grocery stores btw?
Also i've heard rumors i really have to go hard on electrolytes as well.. how do i?
Magnesium, potassium+sodium?

i've been making sure i get a fair amount of sodium, i even have an incredibly high sodium protein powder (pea protein)
And hydration shouldn't be a problem since i piss everywhere all the time.
but it could very much still be potassium...

i'll go get me that LiteSalt
i guess i could bring Ketorade to the pool deck.

sit here and answer people's questions hahahaha

i was unemployed most of the time but i've started working again and honestly it has made fasting a lot easier. i don't have any hunger pangs or stress at work

i used to suggest that people go for a walk, but eventually hours of walking will hurt the tendons and joints, especially if you're fat

i would highly, highly suggest becoming addicted to playing video games or reading books, and talking to other people

The potassium is probably the culprit then. Your dick will be like Niagara Falls for the first week and that flushes everything out. Eating greens helps and throwing an avocado in there wouldn't hurt either. But you'll likely still need to supplement with ketoade or what we call snake juice. If you're in burgerland you'll be able to find potassium salt in any supermarket. A magnesium supplement wouldn't hurt either, just try to avoid oxide since its bioavailability is low.

Just got back from the gym, it's my 30th hour of fasting. Target is 80 hours at least. Am I going to make it?

yes, if you hit any symptoms then just smash in the salt boyyyyyyyyyy

Get through today and you're halfway there.

Hey gang. Never fasted before. I'm sitting at 181lbs, 19% bf. Been trying a 2000 cal cut for the past two weeks with diminishing results. I want to try intermittent fasting (ie 16/8 or 20/4). My question is should I remain on a 2000 cal (or less) diet during my feeding time? And what is the ideal fasting/feeding ratio?

eat 2000 calories per day, 23/1 IF, and you will lose weight

the ideal fasting feeding ratio is as long as you can go. some people eat one big meal a week here

Chad fast day 1
Carb withdrawal is a bitch and i had lot of them this weekend.

Its fine if you indulge once, but indulge two days in row and you wreck yourself

Cool, I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Damn, looking swole Michael!

how much weight do i need to lose before i burn my belly fat and love handles? I've started at 189lbs@5'11 and got to about 154lbs in a month of doing OMAW, but the bod and tits are still there and it annoys me

Is that you? Why the fuck would you be fasting?

Hit the weights and eat a lot bro with that physique

Depends on your bodyfat but once your dipping around 12% I say start a lean bulk.

Le six pack meme

Not him but I am a little bit skinnier, should I avoid fasting? I've read there's quite a lot of benefits other than weight loss, such as that growth hormone thingy
Also, for OMAD's, what do you guys eat?

all of you need to fast until you look like me, and then you lean bulk...

How tall are you anyway?

junkfood OMAD + 48hr dry fasting using scale feedback

Most days I eat a lot of veggies and some meat, usually pork of some kind.
I also have pasta, curries, the occassional pizza, basically just normal food.

Is there anything i can add to the snake juice to make it more drinkable?
I can barely drink half of it through out the day

You can use water flavoring bullshit like Mio if you want to make it taste slightly better but you probably shouldn't. Though if it helps you get through the day it's not a horrible idea since all of the sweeteners are non-glycemic.

Eat soup broth with potassium added instead of snake juice and then dry fast

ok, got a question for Jow Forums
What do you specifically eat when your doing IF?any tips on the best food you can buy on a budget?

Attached: EchoesAct3.png (314x318, 130K)

ramen and soy sauce and NoSalt

If it has to be really cheap while still tolerable to eat and we’re talking something where you still eat every day, I’d go for bags of frozen wok vegetables with whatever meat you can find on sale.

How's it going /fast/? Been awhile since I've posted but I'm still here and still losing weight. Taking an updated pic today, will add it to the bottom with the weight and rough time frame

as someone pointed out to me, my stomach is tucked into my shorts so I will have it hanging out this time

wtffffffffff great progress!! congrats!

give me a good soup recipe to sip on for electrolytes and refeeding, please. sipping snek jizz disgusts me.

vegetable soup? clear broth? anything! please, just to get away from sipping the jizz

I buy a 3lb chuck roast and get 3 meals of protein/fat out of it, add some cheese or something for extra fat/food and whatever non carb veggies you enjoy, they are usually pretty cheap. go to a farmers market or produce stand for them and look for weekend sales for meat at your local grocery store or meat market

for instance, 3lb chuck roast cost me $9@3/lb
I buy a pack of 12 cheddar sticks or whatever and eat 2-3 with my meal $4dollars a pack( maybe be cheaper if you buy a block and cut stick yourself) and around $2 worth of veggies for a total of around $20 a week,

Sick progress bro, keep going

Can I smoke whilst fasting?

This. Alternatively get a pork shoulder. Usually about $1.50-2/lb.

why is it so fucking hard to go back onto fasting... i'm sitting here eating pizza thinking to myself how i hate me and have to throw this up after.

soy sauce/water, vegetable broth, chicken broth, bouillon cubes, all of them are awesome

what are you a retard? enjoy the pizza and recognize how you're fucking yourself long term for short term pleasure. no need to throw up your food, your insulin is already spiked through the roof I'm sure. Just do better tomorrow. Doesn't have to be a 24hr fast to 'make up' for the pizza. Try to fast until dinner and then go from there.

stop kicking yourself in the teeth every time you fuck up. but also realize your fuck up and try and find a better alternative next time

You shouldn't smoke period.

I vape a TON and it doesn't have any impact on my fasts/ketosis.
I also smoke weed nearly every day and that's fine too if you can deal with the cravings it might give you
but like said, you shouldn't smoke

Use sparkling water

Stop falling into the bulimia trap. You ate the shitty food so sit with it. Learn from it and force yourself into better habits to transition back into fasting when it's the easiest for you. Chances are fasting sucks for you because you're eating shit like pizza with a fuckton of carbs. People here aren't fasting for punishment. None of the regulars anyway.

A positive lifestyle change won't happen because of punishments. You need to have discipline and an understanding of what your body responds to positively. Chances are you rebound because you treat it like a punishment from the outset.

Bacon and eggs brah

Weed spikes your cortisol which is baaad

Guys doing OMAD or OMEOD, how many carbs can you eat without getting kicked out of ketosis?

all that matters is if the scale is going down

>[citation needed]

everything seems to spike your fucking cortisol levels what's the fucking point to life like jesus christ

I know that.
Every smoker knows he shouldn't smoke.
Well, I guess vaping is more or less the same but I'll find out tomorrow, I guess.

So OMEOD with a moderate amount of carbs (50-100g) and

When I was OMAD I could reliably have 30-40 carbs and never get kicked out of ketosis

depends if you're striving for ketosis or not

No clue as I haven't tested it thoroughly enough to know my limit. I usually try to stay below 20g. Honestly it's kind of difficult for me to eat 20g of carbs unless I'm specifically eating shit that's loaded with carbs like dark chocolate or some other weird craving like that. I have eaten some cake which was around 40g of carbs for my GF's birthday and didn't feel any negative effects the next day. So I'm guessing my threshold is around 50g. I don't use blood tests or urine sticks though and really only go by feeling.

I wouldn't recommend it unless you have dietary restrictions. OMEOD makes it really fucking difficult to eat over 20g of carbs at 1500 calories unless you're specifically choosing carby foods.

do you have keto stix? is it pure sugar or vegetables? if you are knocked out of ketosis, it wouldn't be for too long

the main thing would be using scale feedback. if you aren't losing 0.5lbs per day on average on 47/1 IF then you are eating too many calories from sugar. it would need to be like 4000 calories though ahhha

the diet youve described will lead to good weight loss, because of the fasting, not because of the specific macros or calories

Dying
... We live
... To die

Any soda is bad. Why do fatties insist on drinking that garbage when trying to lose weight?

Yeah i'm eating virtually no sugar. What veggies do you eat to keep carbs low?

Spinach, string beans, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts (fairly high for this list so make sure not to overeat on them), and avocados occasionally.

Oh also mushrooms. They work well as a meaty filler and as texture in stir fry.

innawoods here?

I posted 3 days ago, I was the fatty 300lb 5'11

you have me, ratio for potassium and sodium. and the soup recipe for a 2 hour feeding window.

can give me the soup recipe again? and was it 1.5g potassium and 1g sodium for water? I was at work and couldn't save the thread when you replied. thank you

Dr Innawoods reporting for duty! haha unfortunately i'm taking a shower in a moment but I can answer your question

I personally use soy sauce + hot water as my soup broth. you can also use chicken bouillon cube, or virtually any canned broth or "just add water" mix at the grocery store

there will already be plenty of sodium in those options and yeah, add potassium to taste. 1.5g of potassium should be fine. add it slowly, to taste.

wtf this is awesome

>baby that needs his 4 meals a day

if I do the soup, I don't need to drink snake water?

I eat about 60-80g a few hours before I lift, am usually back in ketosis by the next day and I fast on rest days .

dude he needs to lose 7-10 kg to look decent.
i have the same. i thought i would look fine at 75 kg but i still have bitch tits at 68kg.

fast till your 8% no matter your muscle mass. then lean bulk

Woaaaah!!!!
Fucking awesome

72 hours snake juice here. Got muscle soreness and upper back pain, even though i haven't been active at all. What do?

Attached: 1518193484271.jpg (275x305, 11K)

nope, if you don't want to. only take salty snake juice on this specific diet if you are having migraines and muscle cramps

this is correct, im still at 12% bf and looking a bit puffy

lmfao if we're the autists then post body homo ( )

more salts less water

if it persists, you need to go to the store and get $5 worth of magnesium tablets

That seems unrelated to fasting friend.

Cancer fag reporting in. Second round is over. Re-fed this morning before coming to work.

I should have re-fed tomorrow but I dropped a lot this last round. I think I was just way too active. Dropped 18lbs on top of the 5 I'd lost previously. Down to 173 and lean as fuark.

Some of the nodules that were hard on my upper body were "soft and squidgy" on Saturday when I met with the oncologist. And my breathing is definitely becoming easier. My coughing is reduced too.

In all I feel great still considering I have gone through two 2 week chemo treatments.

There's a guy my age in there too and he's having a horrible time. He's all sorts of nauseous and laughing about how wrong he was saying I would be the miserable one from not eating.

The most annoying thing now is dealing with the family after my dumb cunt of a girlfriend let it slip at Easter that I had cancer.

guys, can I still lift weights and run while fasting? I want to build/preserve muscles

holy shit, you are a fucking legend

keep fasting, disregard any fucking thing your family says against fasting, and keep saving your life

fuck anyone who says fasting will make your life harder. that advice is literally deadly

i hide my plans from everyone i know except my friends who have taken my side. my family calls me to say how much they hate me and that im anorexic. jealous faggots and cunts

godspeed bro you are incredible

You're dry fasting right? Snekman has his underweight cancer people eat food in blocks then dry fast in blocks.

I'm day 6 of a 10 day snake juice fast. Longest I've done before this was 5 days, which I had no issue breaking on normal food.

Currently planning to break this fast keto on beef/spinach/mushrooms...but is there something I should be eating for gut health? I.e. probiotics/yogurts/kimchi?

Did I get memed? I put some seasalt in water and had the worst diarrhea.

How much? In how much water?
