/fast/ #231 - Just Stop Eating Edition

its literally what im doing. I haven't been losing much weight, surprisingly, but 30lbs by november is very doable
i would change the 48 hour fasts to 72 or 96 though. Go from lunch/dinner thursday to lunch/dinner monday or whatever
godspeed

>its literally what im doing. I haven't been losing much weight

You're not going to lose shit weight like that. Just switch between wet and dry fasting depending on how much energy you have or need until the weight is lost. Shouldn't take you more than 3 weeks. Not fucking 4 months. You won't lose any muscle.

>fasting for less than 24 hours
basically OMAD

Thoughts on a 4:3 with OMAD?

Looks fine, i did omad for some time and it somehow reduced my general appetite, then switched to 36h. Hopefully i can get further soon enough.

WHEN DOES THE CRAVING STOP

WHEN YOU STOP BEING WEAK.

Holy shit I think you broke my fast with your weakness asshole, thanks!

[JK senpai, you should try switching to a keto diet. I've found fasting to be much easier once the carbs are out of my system.]

i just eat steamed veggies with sauce normally

So, for the new snake Jews recipe, what is the best source for all the ingredients?

Can it literally be table salt, nu salt, baking soda, and epsom salt?

On snake juice fast for 72 hours, when can I expect my satisfying toxin shits? Shit some pretty much straight water a few hours back but that's all I've shit so far.

Make sure you get stuff that's food grade.

Anything recommended in general to buy?

Very interested in fasting the last 2 weeks. Never done it before. I am about 6'3" 175 lbs. I want to gain muscle mass. I have a small belly but nothing too big. I'm wondering if I can take off my belly while still gaining muscles mass, while also clearing toxins by fasting? Is all the possible together?

Fasting snake juice while working out
Don't drink normal water because you will pass out lol

what kind of fast would you recommend to go along with working out and drinking snake juice?

Can you drink black coffee without breaking fast?

1 cup max

Good to know, thanks! Sorry to be a pain but does it differ for Espresso? For example a 30ml shot of espresso brought to 280ml with hot water?

Dr.Fung's protocol allows up to 8 cups of coffee a day. But his is a weightloss protocols. He's not concerned with autophagy.

I'm 24 hours in, this is my first time fasting.
I'm quite overweight so maybe the hunger hasn't hit me yet but I assume it will when I go to sleep tonight.

I'm quite used to going 24-30 hours on a gaming binge without eating so maybe my body is semi-used to 24 hour fasts and the worst bit is about to come.

I am a little concerned because I don't normally drink a lot, I've drank maybe 500ml during the last 24 hours and I feel fine, I guess if I start feeling worse I'll take a shot of snake juice and some AVC (I heard it helps a lot with heart burn if I start experiencing it.)

Sorry to treat these threads like a blog but it feels good to express how I'm feeling and keeps me motivated. I would like to aim for 30 days, but we'll see how far it takes me.

Im 48 hours in i have shed probably over 30 pounds fasting so far and managed to keep my weight steady even when im not trying. My older brother has an arthritic syndrome in his foot of some kind that has been killing him for years. Ive been trying like hell to convince him to do a really prolonged fast to help his foot. Does anyone have experience using fasting as a tool to heal an injury of some kind?

How many grams of carbs or how many calories are there in 1g of glycogen?

Surely you don't mean 30 pounds over a 48 hour.. Because you should be dead if so

Having a shit load of anxiety issues lately while I've been trying to go back to a more normal eating schedule after 2 weeks of every other day fasting. Stopped drinking snake juice and feel like I'm still basically in a fasted state most of the time regardless and my weights still crashing no matter what i eat. What the fuck is happening is the anxiety even related? im shaking all the time and suspect it's hightened cortisol.

meditate, my nigga

That sounds like you are just hungry.
Maybe you just made a mistake in calculating how much to eat?

How many calories did/do you intake?
What is your height and weight?

Force yourself to drink water.
Make it a habit.
Set an alarm if you have to.
It reduces cravings and will keep you from coming back to us complaining how tired you are.

I will drink 200ml of fruit juice daily for the glycogen or I'll feel dizzy. Beats drinking saltwater like a maniac lol

Tips for falling asleep? I literally just lay in bed like a retard for hours and I need help.

Read a book in bed, there's hundreds of great fiction novels out there. I can barely go 20-30 pages before my eyes start getting heavy from sleep, it's great. Also make sure your room isn't too hot or too cold and sleep with your head facing the east, or failing that, the south.

Start exercising

77 hours into my fast and i felt tired af trying to do a relatively easy walk, although parts of it ARE quite steep to walk up

do u people exercise while fasting? i don't know how i'm going to manage tomorrow lol

flux, don't expose urself to blue light at night, make sure ur blinds/curtains block out all the light from outside, when you wake up make sure u get 30 minutes of bright light (i.e. go outside), if all that fails try using 0.3mg of melatonin

My current water fast is at the same amount of yours, but I’ve done 100 hours ones before. I pretty much just do snatches and clean & jerks everyday during my fast to keep the technique. I feel somewhat lightheaded after every set but I feel better after sipping on snake juice. So my advice is get in some more electrolytes if even walking is taxing.

Almost at my goal, lost 35 lbs. How do I prevent myself from gaining it all back? What should my nutritional plan be going forward?

I spent about two hours yesterday watching food challenges and Gordon Ramsay cooking vids. Why do I do this to myself?

Learn to count calories. Reduce sugar and carbs. Do some form of IF.

Are you literally me?
All I watched for my first week were Randy Santel and Gordon Ramsay videos

I'm forced to eat in a dining facility on the military base I'm on. Don't know enough about the portion sizes and content in the food as I'm not making it myself. Any good tips or guides out there to help me figure out the nutritional content of some shit I don't thoroughly know about?

The recipe vids on Gordon's YT channel are aesthetic as fuck. Short, straight to the point and all the boring crap is cut out.

That's the easy part if you notice you're gaining weight just do 24/48hr fasts from time to time

kek I was just watching this

youtube.com/watch?v=OEfEuhsYjfs

it doesn't really make me hungry but just seeing someone eat junk food gives me some satisfaction

Try talking to the cooks. I Imagine there are some regulations regarding portion size and calorie content. They don't want their soldiers getting either weak or fat.

Calculate your new TDEE and eat accordingly.

track calories and go on a regular 400-500 cal deficit for 2-3 weeks until you know how much you can eat.

Omad here. Never count calories. Yesterday treated myself with this meal since i got a raise at my job. Any guesses? Also had an icecream cone as dessert. I also walk between 10-20km a day, do cardio and push ups daily. Off days are cheat days tho so not sure about progress.

1100 calories or so maybe more depending on the amount of oil on the beans that stuck. definitely under 1500 though. so 1200-1500 cals i think.

I've been doing a 7day fast and im planning on breaking it into Keto Omad. I'm somewhat unsure of how to properly make a 7 day fast. What do you guys do?

I meant to say
>how to break 7day fast

Bone broth if youve got it or could make it.

Do bolero drinks break a water fast? They apparently contain 5kcal but I don't understand where they come from

Noob faster here, washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner is okay still? Is there any hygiene products I should leave out while fasting? I brush my teeth and then use a mouth wash (gargle) I also cleanse my face with a moisturiser, I don’t wear make up.

Yes they break a fast. Anything with calories starts your system

Literally just dont eat anything. As simple as that. Badabing

i thought it was anything over 30kcal which is why black coffee is fine

Goddamnit, well at least I waited and I didn't drink it
I still don't get where the fuck the calories are coming from if macros are all 0g

is high carb good for OMAD

I heard your skin absorbs certain products (it’s why people take salt baths etc..) just wanted to know if all those were still okay. Thanks. Nothing in the mouth except toothpaste and moth wash.

you can make it work but it would be better to go low-ish carb for OMAD so you dip into ketosis for a lot of the time

Is Potassium/Sodium needed for a 3 day water fast?
If so, how much?

Nope, don't worry about meme juice for such a short amount of time

but wont fasted workout "get rid" of the carbs anyways

Can someone redpill me on weight training on a waterfast if I'm trying to cut?
Surely without protein intake my muscles would be unable to recover and do more harm than good, or should there be greater focus on volume or cardio instead?

How long can i fast without needing Meme Juice?

And how should i workout while fasting?

3 days or until your heart starts racing

I love hunger pangs, they make me feel like I'm in total control, if it makes sense

I get you bro. I always like to imagine cravings and pangs as a gollum-like version of myself, screaming for sugar. It's pathetic and disgusting, and I feel like a total badass being able to ignore it or tell it to shut up. I know it's silly and just in my head but it feels amazing

sure but you would need to go hard every day

Ate so much god damn food yesterday for my weekly meal day, 1lb of salmon, about 120+ carbs including a slice of pizza, about 9 hours later still in Keto. Not sure how or if it will last but I'll happily take it.

i think i need some weight anyway

man, i sure seem to be pooping a LOT now that i switched to OMAD.

Okay I haven’t been on this site for a quick minute. I have lost almost 40lbs in the last year from just eating right but I’m still a fatass. Two weeks ago I started IF 16:8 and have been loving it. A few clarifying questions:
>are there big differences between 16:8, 18:6, 20:4?
>How long should I do IF for?
I was just thinking of making it a part of my life until I reach my strength goals and a respectable weight.
>what is snake juice/meme juice?

>How long should I do IF for?

Whatever works for you, man. Whatever fits your schedule is my general advice. The longer you're in a fasted state the lower your insulin response will be, and the more growth hormone you'll produce.

>what is snake juice/meme juice?

electrolyte drink to help with long fasts. if you do a 3 day fast you absolutely need it otherwise you'll feel like death.

if you're just doing once a day IF, you can get by with regular sea salt.

dropped around 10 kgs (from 72 to 62) over 3 months by fasting and restricting calories but i still look like shit and my belly fat doesn't go away, wtf did i do wrong?

What's your height? If you're a woman, assuming you're around 1.65m you probably need to reach at least 55kg before starting to look decent

is it really bad for your digestion/stomach/organs to have to process ~2000 calories in 1 meal in 1 hour?

asking for a friend

The problem with coffee is that you could get dehydrated faster.

IF OMAD

Will two weeks of OMAD make me a chad >18%bf if I currently am 25%bf

i'm 5'11 (male)

You could probably drop 10 pounds of fat with two weeks straight water fasting, dunno what % that would put you at

Meant snake juice fasting sorry

You could probably drop 14 pounds in two weeks if you OMEOD

So how would I go about fasting for muscle gain and health benefits?
I'm a 145lbs 5'8" twink with an autoimmune disorder and train on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Should a 48h water/dry fast on weekends be good?

Attached: 1529142740578.png (484x601, 710K)

Not really. Having an eating window longer than 12h is bad. Your digestive system can handle larger meals, but you should give it time to recover every day.

I train on the same days and eat OMAD at a small surplus and water fast on saturday. If I want to cut bodyfat faster, I can water fast on tuesday and thursday as well. Once I reach 10% bf, I'll ramp up my surplus and keep the fasting day.

Got ya dude, thanks

Does water fasting fuck up your concentration? I have exams coming up this week, I've got a ton of shit to study, so I was wondering if it's the right time to start

lol water fasting turns up your focus and your concentration. If you do water fast, do have the salts to keep electrolytes up if you're going longterm

I'm 25, bench press around 2pl8, 17% bf.
Currently on a cut, would OMAD / 23:1 IF be beneficial to lose the last 3-4% BF or will it just make me full gulag escapee mode?
