>2000mg of sodium (preferably Himalayan Pink Salt) max >4700mg of saltless potassium max (NoSalt/LoSalt are high potassium-low sodium salts available in grocery stores or Amazon and the like) Mix these in a liter of water and sip it throughout the day. The apple cider vinegar and lemon are optional but recommended for 10+ day fasts. You can also do this if you feel lightheaded, weak, dizzy, nauseous, etc., on shorter water fasts. Don’t do this while intermittent fasting.

Anyone else getting severe hair loss from fasting? I've been doing 48 hours fast/ 24 hours eating limiting myself to 1500 calories for that time period and i've noticed i'm losing a lot of hair from my head.

Fuck I know that's too much food but God damn it was good.
>started new fast right after >going for 72 hours >You feel less hungry after the 3rd day right?
I'm using snake juice, acv, lemon all the shit. Under this fat I do have a decent amount of muscle so I want to keep lifting an everything. Is that fine as long as I have joos? My goal weight is 170 or whenever I see some simblance of abs.
>I'm afraid I'll have a bunch of excess skin though.. Is that part just fucked? >I keep hearing that fasting gets rid of the loose stomach skin from being a fat fuck but have not really seen any evidence of flaps vanishing. Here's a pic of me. The temporarily fat version.
I honestly just don't know the optimal fasting routine for my goals. My goal is to be a yoked cunt. Do I just fast until unfat then worry about my swole journey?
It's a normal thing that happens to people fasting and even just restricting calories losing weight. It's a combination of stress on the body and it considers your hair a waste of energy, so some of the hairs will go dormant earlier than they would. After you stop losing weight, the hair should start growing back.
I think you can take a biotin pill to help, but I really have no clue if it works for this

So I want to experiment an initial dry fast starting today. I typically fast 18 hours a day and I have experience with multiple day water fasts.
My question is, after eating normally, is it advisable to move into a dry fast?
Mason Collins
If I'm trying to lose strictly fat at currently 18ish% can I really just water fast and lose almost entirely fat? Is there anything that shows how much muscle I'd lose?
Thomas Torres
Don't sat until you have a six pack fat fuck. You can do lean gains later. Your muscle mass means shit behind all that pig fat. Learn self control. If you can't do 72hr fasting with juice, you need to dry fast 48 to break your food addictions. Refeed when you are extremely lean or have a major health problem only. You have enough fat to sustain you for months.
Tyler Allen
If I break my fast after 98 hours now, with sausage and egg, will I be back in fasted state and ketosis right after the calories are burned?
Lucas Carter
>Can I drink >Yes. wrong you will still harvest sugars into fats if you add liquid.
Gavin Collins
Just do it you fucking crybaby pussy. 48hrs dry is fucking easy. I train while doing them every week. Jesus fuck.
Cameron Bennett
If you don't eat and end ketosis at any point you can't go catabolic and burn muscle. It's that simple, but you sound like a fucking moron so just stop eating and try to learn something you fat stupid pig.
Isaac Gutierrez
Does anyone here do cardio while fasting? What do you do and at what intensity? I'm considering doing a 3 day fast with an hour of low-moderate cycling each day
Luke Hill
>you will still harvest sugars into fats if you add liquid. What the fuck are you on about?
Gavin Cruz
You'll never leave ketosis and yes, your body will go from that food right back to your fat.
Leo Campbell
the way your stomach works. it's a fact bacteria is active in liquid. when you add a liquid, you are starting up your stomach, breaking your fast.
Jaxson Jackson
Stop eating fatty.
Julian Davis
That's good and bad at the same time. I need to lose 80+ lbs, but the craving for the taste of umami gets stronger every hour
Zachary Sullivan
You can't harvest nothing into nothing from plain water you dumb fuck.
Anthony Edwards
>craving Dry fast until they stop. Anything less is giving in to fat.
Noah Russell
your stomach isn't ever in an empty state. there are sugars inside waiting to be processed.
this isn't a discussion. boxers don't drink when dropping weight. you're spreading disinfo.
Leo Watson
What is your piss supposed to taste like? I tried to drink some a few days ago but it was so oily I could only manage a sip.
Evan Taylor
>he actually drank his own piss thanks for making me laugh user
Jacob Lewis
I could fast forever and would still crave food. The main point is I want that rumbling of my stomache to stop. It is getting so bad, it really fucking hurts.
It is supposed to tast salty bitter and the way it smells
Okay wtf. Hour 53, keto strips show no ketosis but have dropped 10 lbs on the scale. y
Leo Powell
Hey something stuck in your ass? I’m not complaining you nigger, I’m just asking a question.

Reposting from previous thread: Day 2/?, Fasting down to approx 125 lbs.
To user from #238: I do lift, tho I went low volume when I started testing fasting. After I get lean I intend to switch back to a high volume routine on OMAD.
There’s one really hyperautistic cocksucker in every /fast/ thread that takes everything to the absolute extreme and will certainly gain all his weight back. He obviously thinks he won’t hut I’d bet hes a teenager who doesn’t have any experience with losing weight.
Charles Long
Never go more than 24 hours without water. At the end of your fast, break it with a warm drink. Cold will make you vomit, as it will shock the bacteria in your stomach into a dormant state.
Cooper Johnson
It's Cole obviously xD
Robert Cooper
i will add- the idea of a "water fast" is completely foreign to me. A real fast is on a completely different level.
Aiden James
Why the 24 hr limit? Longer dryfasts are totally manageable? 48 is easy, 72 is where it gets harder.
Christian Richardson
>your stomach isn't ever in an empty state. there are sugars inside waiting to be processed.
It makes since not to push 24 in a dry fast, saves your kidneys and such. I’d imagine I’ll start drinking water at 24 and push into a water fast.
Thanks for the tip with the temperature.
Joseph Barnes
So I decided I won't break my fast. It's not worth it. Not now as my body is somewhat adapted to fasting.
I hope my date won't talk me into eating or having a beer. Wish me luck

>Okay wtf. Hour 53, keto strips show no ketosis Ketosis takes time to show on the ketostix because even when ketosis starts it does so at a low level then ramps up gradually (it is an analog process rather than a digital one, it doesn't turn on at the flick of a switch).
After the ketones have been created they then circulate in the blood stream until the body decides they are surplus to requirement and passed to the kidney's for processing and dumped in to the urine.
All of this takes time.
If you have a strange taste at the back of your mouth then you are already in ketosis. The ketostix will prove this and show the measures in your urine up to 24 hours after onset of ketosis.
>but have dropped 10 lbs on the scale. Sure, because once you start fasting you burn through your glycogen reserves in about 24/36 hours (depending on level of activity)
Once you've got rid of the glycogen (which is massively hydrophilic - it loves water), your body will dump all of the associated water which it no longer needs, this is what we call "water weight" and is typically lost at the beginning of a fast in huge quantities.
Most, but not all of the weight you have lost is just water, not fat or anything else. After tomorrow the rate of loss per day should level out to about 1 pound a day or so, depending upon the level of exercise.
Jace Fisher
If I broke a 24 hour dry fast with some junk food, should I straight go to another dry fast or should I drink some water and eat healthy the rest of the day and do a dry fast tomorrow? Or do a water fast instead?
Carson Powell
>It makes since not to push 24 in a dry fast, saves your kidneys and such
I agree that there is a relationship between dehydration and kidney health, but 24 hours is not going to make any substantive difference unless you already have associated kidney problems, in which case you probably shouldn't dry fast.
Cole has done a 7 day dry fast without any significant problems and many here have done 48/72 hr dry fasts without issue.
For myself, I am 46 hours into my first 72hr dry fast. No issues for me either.
Zachary Hall
>Blood Moon Will Khorne finally bless me?
Nathan Anderson
No, because fasting is a distraction from the real pursuits of men, battle is the only purpose of life and its trophies are the blood of the slain and the skulls of the dead.
Hey guys, as someone who is invited a lot, how do you... Refeed? I am not as popular as I think I am. But this day and Sunday, I am invited. My plan was to fast till the next event and then go on a prolonged fast after sunday's event. How would you have done it?

Just don't train with fucking baby weights like all the stupid thots I see in the gym who 'just wanna tone'. It's fucking cardio and it won't make your muscles grow.
Sorry for ranting. Remember, squats and hip thrusts. You're gonna make it.
Jose Ward
Okay, so I haven't posted a progress update in a while, so here goes.
just broke fast with 4 eggs sunny side up, some fatty pork and broccoli should I go right back to another fast? it was my first one
Christopher Clark
you can literally see the weight loss in the angle of your legs. don't gain it back.
Xavier James

Yes - that is a pretty typical "Fat Bloke" stance.
>don't gain it back. Ain't no way I'm going back to being a fat fuck again.

How the fuck are you looking so lean at 145? I'm at 110lbs and my thighs still look fat as shit, gonna have to cut until they go How tall are you? Looking good, man But what is your goal exactly? Do you want to go lower than 70kg?
Jace Smith
I'm sure this has been asked before, but if I wet fast to my goal weight, will I gain any fat back when I start eating properly again? Assuming I'm actually eating at maintenance and all that And how much water weight will I put back on, any way to keep it down?
James Gomez
Thx bro, rest assured it's heavy weights for me. Only babyweights I have are for bench progression.
Brayden Bell
I start my fast from this moment on in honor of the Blood Moon.
Ethan James
Fucking hell my da looks younger than you and he's pushing 65 and fat, how do I get him to shape up? He's a slug about fitness despite having a heart attack twice, getting heart surgery and the docs badgering him on his biyearly checkup to lose his potbelly. It sucks
Currently out for a date, so source later. But fasting you lose 15-25g muscle max per day, as long as you have fat to metabolize and aren't physically active.
Ayden Bell
>Looking good, man >But what is your goal exactly? Do you want to go lower than 70kg?
Attached spreadsheet shows goals (highlighted in red) and progress
>will I gain any fat back when I start eating properly again? Not if you eat at or below TDEE (aka Maintenance), however as soon as you start eating normally, even at or below TDEE your glycogen reserves will by rebuilt and this will attract lots of water so you will regain some weight regardless, but it should be just glycogen and water, not fat.
Recommendation is to overshoot your target by 5KG and then allow your maintenance to settle back to around your goal weight.
Lucas Jackson
Okay, Tomorrow i'm starting again and I'm inteding to break it on tuesday so it'll be a 3 days dry fast. Also, which problems can breaking a fast improperly can bring? Kidney failure and shit?
Henry Hill
Thank you based omawbro x
Benjamin Reyes
>day 3 of my fast >nothing but snek joose >had to go to the bathroom twice now and shit out liquidy black stuff is this normal? or is an alien about to come out of me
Lincoln Adams
You drank the juice too fast. The walls of your intestines aren't capable of absorbing salts that fast and therefore it goes right through. The black stuff is a mix of toxins and cell waste.
Nolan White
just sippppp don't gulp. the sodium content of snek jooz is enough to upset our stomach..
Anthony Parker
>that literal boomer who loses 100+ pounds
Aiden Allen
The tl;dr is that mice with genes related to autophagy knocked out start losing gains. They even test fasting with the genes knocked out and show that without autophagy the mice lose even more muscle in a catabolic state.
What this may suggest is that keeping autophagy going will let us humans continue to make sick gains even in their 30's and 40's (my speculation now, not the study). It is known that autophagy is reduced in old age.
That's the extra salt, you took too much too fast.
Lincoln Morris

I lied. Went for my evening cycle ride and only managed just over 2 miles before I was dead in the water. Mouth dry as the Sahara and all energy sapped.
Managed 48 hour dry fast, but couldn't get further this time around.
Going to try again next week after I've rehydrated and got my cycling performance back to normal.
Evan Adams
Do not combine your two activities.
-Snek juice is for gains. The idea is to make your muscles hold water - this gives them access to nutrients. It's how you maximize your gains. It is a pre-work supplement to blow yourself up. -Fasting is to lose weight. Don't drink when you fast. This "wet fast" idea you guys have is screwing with you. I say unto you: none among you could survive a true 24 hour fast. Temptation will overcome you.

This might be the dumbest thing I've read this year.
But I am trying to loose weight/bodyfat. I believe I am at around 20-23% now.
Juan Thomas
Are 16 hour fasts effective? Started one this week because Joe Rogan is always shilling it. Lost 5 pounds in the first few days but went up one pound since yesterday. I'm worried about loose skin from loosing weight too fast so I figured 16 hour fasts would be the right amount but if I need to up the ante I will.
Andrew Bailey
Agreed. Which was why I suggested he fuck off back to you know where...
Thomas Sanchez
Starting my 2nd fast today, about 24 hours in. Going to try to drink as little water as I can.
Goal is not to lose weight, but to get rid of chronic pain. This is my last hope before I start going to some bullshit doctor again and pile on medial bills
Ryan Cook
16 sounds harder to maintain than 23:1 desu. Just don't eat until you get off work.
Jose Ward
I'm 5'7", I think I have a decent amount of muscle mass? (Been lifting for approx a year, tho I didn't pay any attention to diet in that time)
