FAQ Q: How do I fast? A: Don't eat. Q: How long should I fast? A: Keep going Q: Won't I be hungry? A: Not after a few days Q: Won't I go into starvation mode? A: No. Only occurs at extremely low body fat Q: Won't I lose muscle? A: Not if you lift. Minimal even if you don't. Fasting boosts HGH Q: How long will it take me to lose X lbs/kg? A: losertown.org/eats/cal.php Q: Can I eat (something with calories)? A: No. Even a 5cal piece of gum breaks your fast Q: Can I drink black coffee or tea? Diet soda? A: Coffee and tea are probably okay. Soda is probably bad. This is debatable Q: So only drink water? A: For longer fasts, supplement electrolytes to keep your heart working normally. Mix 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp potassium chloride/citrate in water and sip it throughout the day. Headache=more salts. Watery shits=more water Q: Where do I find potassium chloride/citrate? A: Stores would have either one where they keep the salt. Names include NoSalt, SaltLite, etc. Q: Do I need a multivitamin? A: Not unless you're going for a month+ Q: How long does it take to get into ketosis? A: Everyone's different. Just stop eating Q: What are the benefits of fasting? A: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3946160/
GLOSSARY Autophagy: When your body eats useless cells (loose skin, scar tissue, etc). A benefit of fasting Dry Fasting: Fasting with no water. Dangerous, but it may speed up autophagy IF: Intermittent fasting. Shorter daily fasts of 16-22 hours Insulin: Hormone that regulates fat retention. Spiked by eating, especially carbs. Potentially spiked by artificial sweeteners Keto: Very low or zero carb diet that limits insulin response and triggers ketosis. Ketosis: When your body has used all of its carbs and starts using fat for fuel OMAD: One meal a day Refeed: Ending a fast by eating something. Vegetables or bone broth is recommended. Snake Juice: Salt water you drink for electrolytes. Drink when you get headaches. Only needed on longer fasts.
Physiologically, it would be better to stick to the snake juice. But realistically just do whatever works for you, man. It's like the diet sodas. Sure they probably aren't ideal, but still better than having something packed with sugar.
Luke Rogers
Second time fasting Currently on my 5th day. Only drinking water/snakejuice
Don't know why but its super easy this time. Maybe because I drank snake juice from day1 instead of waiting until days later. Never felt hungry, never felt a loss in energy. Don't even feel like I'm fasting.
Owen Rodriguez
Current/goal weight? How long are you going?
Isaiah Mitchell
That guy looks like he has downs
William Morris
Been fasting for 43 hours, am I in ketosis yet?
Isaiah Clark
How do i transition from OWMAD to OMEOD? Do i have to go keto? Im doing great on low to moderate carb omad. But i want to loose faster. (wedding season)
Isaac Thomas
Wait until you have your next meal and then 48 hours later have another one.
Benjamin Rogers
looking to lose about 6kg/13lbs Can I do multiple sub 3 day fast so I don't need to worry about snakejuice/breaking the fast properly?
Samuel Garcia
>multivitamin going for a month+ HEY FATTY can I skip the multivitamin if im going for 2-3weeks if not what's the dosage. Do I take the salt and potassium everyday for long fasts?
Colton Smith
is snake juice suppose to increase your heart rate? I only used 1/2 tsp of potassium in it.
Justin Murphy
>do keto for 3 weeks >start snake diet >lose 14lb over 8 days >cave tonight and eat 4 cheese sticks
Am I gonna gain back 5lb?
Nathaniel Hernandez
came out of a 7 day fast yesterday, broke it with some unsweetened yogurt. Can someone recommend good meals for day two and three please
Jonathan Hall
Does doing light cardio during a fast have any detrimental effects? Does it speed up fat loss?
Brayden Phillips
Wait until you hear him talk.
Anthony Edwards
Honestly just eat what you feel like but eating healthy overall is much better. While doing fasts for my meals I do eat to break the fasts I try to stick to very low carb/keto meals. The point of fasting is to keep your insulin low so breaking a fast with a good keto meal with a lot of fat and moderate protein gives you all the nutrients you need while still keeping the spike to a minimum. Also, when preparing for my fast I ate keto for 1 week prior to get my insulin low and get me more fat-adapted so the transition to fasting was much easier with lessened hunger pains and a more stable mood for the first couple of days where things can go a bit haywire.
Cameron Garcia
Doing OMAD, is the increase in HGH high enough to make a difference?
Blake Harris
>Does doing light cardio during a fast have any detrimental effects?
No, it speeds up your entry into ketosis and reduces cravings/hunger in some. Just pay attention, if you get lightheaded, stop, or you'll faint.
>Does it speed up fat loss?
It certainly doesn't inhibit it.
Kevin Harris
You're expending more calories by doing cardio than if you sit still, and those all come from your fat.
Camden Taylor
I think the only benefit of OMAD is in the Insulin, in wich your body becomes more sensible to it
Nicholas Hall
Who /ketoOMAD/ here?
Julian Anderson
Thank you anons! I'll get to work right away!
Brody Williams
How much do I eat on a refeed?
Will I get lean by fasting for 48 hours, eating a little vegetables/meat, and repeating?
Landon Cooper
You'll eat WAY less than you think you will. You'll be full almost instantly and get the shits almost instantly.
Yes you will lose weight doing what you've said, for sure.
You could eat as much mcdonalds as you physically could once every 48 hours and still lose a bunch of weight.
I came here to say this guy looks like an actual retard.
Josiah Powell
No, just start fasting again immediately. The beautiful thing about fasting is that messing it up won't set you back very far, whereas on traditional diets/cutting the consequences are catastrophic.
Colton Lewis
Is it okay to fast if I have a blood test coming?
Jaxson Myers
> good keto meal with a lot of fat and moderate protein What would a meal like that be? I google "keto meal" and get results like this? ruled.me/keto-pesto-chicken-pasta/ Is this kind of meal really okay? Seems pretty protein-heavy.
Matthew Diaz
Tfw I'm consistently dropping weight and inches off by belly on binge tier OMAD
I can see myself doing this forever. Eating once a day is convenient as all hell
Elijah Wright
>1 tsp What is it in grams? > Apple Cider Vinegar "with mother" What "with mother" means exactly?
Jack Fisher
Your blood glucose lvls will show as being low to very low. So unless you want to discuss fasting w your doctor, you may want to eat the night before.
Brandon Perez
V unimportant stuff actually V ---------------------- so i broke my 16 days fast after getting really weak in the legs. i am at 12% bodyfat but i have almost no fat on my legs anymore and most of it is in my tits.
ii was planning to break it anyway since i had dinner at my fathers, when i woke up i ate 400g of broccoli 400g of green beans 1 cucumber 1 apple and my 400g fermented sauerkraut. i steamed the veggies and cut up everything in small pieces i could eat with chopsticks. i started eating around 5:30 because i could not sleep.
i finished the cucumber apple and green beans by 7:00 and started making the broccoli for lunch. i ended up eating that also. before work i bought 2 apples and ate those before 12:00 and another cucumber. then i finally restrained myself and waited painfully before dinner.
at dinner i ate like 4-5 eggs and a bunch of bacon. main course was soup (i was smart enough to ask for that) i did eat like 300g bread with it though. -------------------------------------------------- you can ignore most of that actually.
my main problem is that this Friday we have an all you can eat buffet and i was gonna fast Wednesday and thursday. then i decided to just eat sauerkraut, then i decided to try and make it taste better by adding bacon.
but today was sunny and i was not cold for once and my legs started feeling better. so i walked around and ate stuff. how bad is it? so far i am at -100g cheese - 3 apples - 2 pears - 1 prume - large piece of watermelon - 2 manderins - and i am still want to eat my sauerkraut with bacon for the gut health
but most important i ate at like 11:30 i didnt even OMAD it.
now i am already thinking about eating some nice fruits and cheese tomorrow late in the morning.
I’ve not exactly been binge eating, just eating whatever dinner I want (which is pretty fucking convenient since I actually went out to dinner with friends). I figured out pretty quickly that coffee is a good way to get you through the morning and just start hydrating like a motherfucker afterwards. Been at it for 2 weeks now and down 3 kg.
Currently considering getting into keto OMAD with some meal prep or just skip that altogether and go for a minimum of a 7 day fast (or just going OMAW). Currently doing very little weight lifting, mostly boxing which is heavy enough; I guess I can miss a weeks worth of sessions (3 times a week usually). On OMAD training isn’t an issue, but with anything longer than 48 hours I have the impression that its going to suck. Trying to get down from 200 pounds (moving towns, different jobs, relationship bullshit) back to 165 (about 2,5 years ago). So far OMAD is way better than all the fucking meme-dieting and bullshit meal prep going on.
William Johnson
there is no need to brush your teeth if you dont eat white flour and pure sugar and only once a day
Henry Parker
>dry fasting >dangerous Nah
Jacob Nguyen
also i shit out my sauerkraut mostly whole because i probably didnt chew on it enough because it tastes bad. or it could just be because it was my first meal. anyway i am gonna puree my sauerkraut in a little bacon fat and add pieces of bacon and potato
Leo Perry
>This is what amerimutts actually believe
Connor Bailey
Just brush your fucking teeth anyway.

>weigh 210 >want to lose weight, but conventional methods seem not to work/take way too damn long >do a halfass OMAD routine for about a week, close to two >halfass doesn't even come close, still had days where I ate two meals, or didn't fast for a whole 23hrs, still eating like shit too >weigh myself this morning >206 Usually I don't like to believe in Jow Forums advice that seems too good to be true, but holy shit this is like magic. Will try to be more dedicated in my fasting to see how deep the hole goes.
yeah, this scale I bought was the 5.99 special but uh...it's been a week, senpai.
Jordan Phillips
I didn't. but these days I just drink vodka and eat pizza
Mason Miller
Sometimes you won't see results right away as your body is retaining water. Keep at it and you will lose fat.
Grayson Murphy
three is week three. I haven't changed anything in the routine.

Landon Young
Guys, how do I deal with this bullshit? I've fasted Monday through Thursday for the past month. I've gone down from a 38" waist, but I can't get under 36".
OMAD here too And later the autistic nazi fasters dont believe in OMAD benefits
Kayden Garcia
120 kg (264.555 lbs) fatty here,
I used to be 80 Kg (176.37 lbs )
all my life I used to eat like I maniac, which I kinda compensated by running a lot and occasionally lifting , always maintained a healthy shape but my habits never allowed me to be ripped or anything
some years ago I fell flat on my back and severely injured my neck, back and shoulders
that shit broke my exercise cycle, and I gained like 100 lbs, got into severe depression because for some time it was hard to me to start running or lifting again so I kinda said fuck it to life and even started smoking heavily for 3 - 4 years
all the same gaining weight made my back problems even worse the doc says I can go back to do what ever I used to do but I need long term re-hab exercise but the most important thing is TO LOSE WEIGHT RIGHT NOW, I've been severely thinking about going OMAD with NO CARBS but the hunger sensation always defeats me and I end up eating something high carb
does it get better after struggling for a few days? if it is analogous to dropping cigarettes (which I did a few months ago) and If I can withstand the torture that was to drop the smoke for a few days then I might make it
It was really hard to me to start moving again by just walking after I used to run 10 Km daily some time ago in my life.
I don't even want to be thin or get ripped, I just want this pain on my back and this numbing sensation I get in my arms to be gone. I just want to breathe with ease.
I was 122 in September last year. 95 now. Didn’t lose any during two of the months. Haven’t worked out for a single second apart from going on long walks a few times a week. I mainly do OMAD with a 48-72 hour fast every week. No keto.
You can easily lose weight faster than me snce I’ve been half-assing things for much of the time, so you can be at a normal weight by the end of year without a problem.
Camden Cook
The calculator in the OP is shit. I lose weight 3 times as fast.
Gabriel Powell
It does. Fasting seems damn near impossible as a noob but when you get more experience it gets pretty trivial to just skip eating.
I've had periods where going without vodka for more than 8 hours seemed impossible but now I can go months without a drink. It's all practise and a large part of it is mental.
David Bailey
at around that weight when i fasted for 14 days after the initial water loss my weight loss stabilized at 0.3 kg per day, you do the math if you can just fast or you need to split it up to something cyclical like 5:2 or ADF
Nathan Young
i lose weight 3 times as slow. i am 12% though
John Rogers
"Mother" is a hippy term for the organic compounds in the unfiltered ACV sediment. Lots of claims made over the health benefits of it. ACV not even necessary for fast, just do it if you feel like spending a little more for the experiment
Daniel Roberts
I just did because I thought It was necessary
Benjamin Murphy
One day in The hunger is real Help me Jow Forums
Daniel Stewart
>hippy term No
Juan Lopez
Does sugar immediately kick you out of ketosis or something?
Hudson Bennett
Youre a big guy
Ethan Allen
Start with a 48 hour fast now, don't think about stocking up on calories just do it. It is a daunting task when you first start but it only gets easier; when you start doing 48+ hour fasts the hunger sensation actually goes away (not meming) and the only thing you are left with is the cravings for food (very similar to the cravings one gets for a cigarette). You will be dropping weight like crazy and in no time you will be banging out the 7+ day fasts like nothing. Once you get your body used to tapping into the massive amount of calories you have stored on your body it becomes a breeze - not to mention the brain and energy gains that come with fasting.
Not only did OMAD get easier after about a week for me, it made me hungry for healthier foods.
I used to eat junk 5 times a week for dinner, now I come home and feel like preparing nutritious food. It was not even a consious decision, I just felt like having healthy food one day. I still eat junk every once in a while, but I've gotten pretty good at cookibg over the last few months
Jayden Mitchell
Yes, this is what i did : > be me fat fuck 1 month ago > 117 kgs > pic related > get in argument with another fat fuck that i can lose weight faster than him > bet on money for who'll lose more weight in 2 months > shit's on > finally gonna stop hating myself > eat 500 kcals of oatmeal in the morning > eat 250gs of grilled chicken breast aka another 500 kcals and a large bowl of salad for dinner > only drink water > never feel hungry past first week > "cheat meal" is 100g of digestive biscuits and 450 ml of milk > cheat meal > only eat cheat meal like 5 times since this started > still lose weight > 3 days ago decide this shit is too slow and easy > start IF + keto > ditch the oatmeal > no cheat meal > only eat 500 kcals of grilled chicken breast and salad > suffering again > making more progress than ever before 105,3 kgs now, I've lost 11,7 kgs so far, and i've lost literally a kg a day since i started keto + IF Tomorrow is a month since i started this so by then i will have lost probably 12,7 kgs in a month. Before keto + IF i calculated, after i had some data, that it would take me about 4-5 months total to get to my ideal weight of 70-75. Now i'm gonna get there in about 2 months from tomorrow and a few days, so a total of 3. If you're not in a rush you can do only what i did in the beginning and you won't even feel like you're dieting. There's a bonus if you are like me and like chicken breast. I feel hungry every second of the day now, but every morning there is a huge difference on the scale so my will is iron.
Trips mean you have to stick to it for ateast three more days
Nolan Russell
just dont eat at all.
Chase Peterson
If I don't eat for a month will I die?
Thomas Garcia
Im 5'10 180lbs, I should probably fast until at least 165 right
Leo Sullivan
how fat are you?
Liam Garcia
5'10" 217lbs very
Elijah Gomez
why did I gain weight on day 4 of fasting?
Brandon Lopez
Water weight. Keep going.
Henry Reyes
Ease yourself into it. Add one or two hours between meals every day and look into nutrition.
Parker Jenkins
first 2 days I was dry fast, only drank water the latter.
Brandon Smith
Going to break my fast in 40 hours with some sauerkraut and some yoghurt.
Great experience overall, was much easier than I thought. I could likely go longer desu, 21 days was actually fairly doable, but I’m going on a work trip and need to get my stomach ready for food again.
Nathaniel Cooper
how much water can I drink with snake juice?
Julian Reed
I made 30 km by bike. I'm so hungy. What the fuck should I do? Pepsi zero doesn't help!
Easton King
>: No. Even a 5cal piece of gum breaks your fast OP is a fucking idiot.
Robert Rodriguez
It's just cheese so no.
Lucas Kelly
I'm feeling more comfortable with water fasting so I want to start getting some walking in every day.
Would a 30 to 1 hour walk a day be bad while in a fasted state? Also thinking about hitting the gym, light weights 5 reps 5 sets be safe?
Luke Bennett
130 lb (58kg) 5*9 (178cm)
Today i will hit the 5 day of my water fast. My sleeping quality is very bad at this point (its like i am very tired but when its sleeping time i cant fall asleep) and felling very lethargic through the day. Having some multivitamins, vitamin C, magnesium and potasium pills x4 (50mg of potassium for each pill), 2 tsp of sea water and some coffe in the mornings. I was going to break the fast this friday morning, what should i do?
Caleb Watson
Reminder that without healthy eating habits you will regain any lost weight
true facts. killing all your gut bacteria and replacing it with healthy bacteria after a long fast will very much help you establish healthy eating habits.
Christian Flores
>tfw you have a smoke while fasted and nearly OD on the poison
Based nicotine
Jason Morgan
>relying on meme fasting to teach you good eating habits. Never going to make it
Andrew Morgan
so thats double the water weight then you retard
Landon Adams
how bad are fruits for my gut ?
Carson Torres
You should eat shit of a skinny person. It works. No joke.
Never eat fruits Fruit kills people Dont listen to the jews
Jacob Watson
Think of it like this >a population exists >that population is a bunch of drug addict retards you can either >genocide the population and replace them with a new one or >introduce good people into the trashy population and hope they'll survive both work IDK family man, just eat what you want to eat and it will furnish your gut with bacteria capable of processing it.
