/fast/ #253: Even the Dead Still Fight Edition

FAQ
>What is /fast/?
Fast is a thread for the discussion of snake juice fasting, dry fasting, OMAD, OMAW, AFD and IF (Why should I fast?

Read all of these, they might answer some other questions you may want to ask.

See your doctor before fasting if you have any sort of chronic illness (type 1 diabetes, malnourished, underweight, pregnant, breastfeeding)

>How do I safely do an extended fast (approx. 4-5+ days)
New snake juice recipe here - youtube.com/watch?v=1onQ0nxgWFM

>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.

>Won’t I go into starvation mode?
No. It only occurs at extremely low body fat (4% or less).

>Can I workout?
Yes. But don't overdo it.

>Will (something with calories) break my fast?
Yes.

>Can I drink coffee, tea, and diet soda? Or anything with artificial sweeteners?
Black, unsweetened coffee and tea - YES!
Diet drinks and artificial sweeteners are debatable (continuously)

>Do I need a multivitamin?
No. Fat burning provides sufficient vitamins

sword or sheath?

i have a sword..and a sheath... but like sheath is the best part really

Currently on a 16/8 IF, but everytime I eat after the 16 hours of fasting I feel like shit and almost fall asleep because I get too tired for about 2+ hours. How do I stop this?

16 hours
fasting
choose 1 fatty

Good job user

Fatty? Are you fat? I'm not fasting to loose weight, i'm doing IF to burn bodyfat while bodybuilding. Fasting for over 16 hours would fuck up my gains, tardo. You must be fat lolol

I'm tired of being chubby. I want to look like anime.

I'm very conflicted on whether to continue cutting or to bulk. 5'8" 134lbs

Attached: 8-12-18.jpg (768x576, 218K)

It's time to bulk, there are 12 year old girls who out weigh you. You probably can't even ride all the rides at Disney world with that weight.

Is 16/8 fasting useless if you’re not on a keto diet too?

>thinks IF is to loose weight
sorry fatty, hate to burst your bubble but not everyones fasting just to burn the extra cheeseburgers. you probably see it that way though because your entire life is putting down the fork rn lol

Dry fasting 23 hours a day. Knocking back 1 litre of water and salts (half the salts of the snake juice recipe) in the 1 hour window. Also have the option of eating less than 300g of cucumber in this window, but only if I feel famished, so far I'm on day 3 and haven't had to resort to that but tbf I just came off a 5 day waterfast thay ended in a 1 day refeed so I was already primed to not be hungry.

I'm hoping this routine will allow me to sustain without extreme discomfort for 12 days and hoping it will lose more fat (if only a tiny bit) than a water fast, as my SO is coming back to the country then and I want to drop as much weight as I can before falling back on a more sensible adf routine or something.

And no I'm not going to drink piss.

They are completely different things. And it's not useless. Fasting is all about hitting the post absorptive range (depleting gylcogen and carbs and running completely off fat), and getting the nutrients you need while your eating in your 8 hours. not being on a keto diet doesn't affect your ability to get into that state.

A keto diet is centered around perpetually using ketones for energy and being in a post asborptive range for as long as possible while still getting the nutrients (amino acids) you need for your brain to function.

At the end of the day, both are effective at what they are trying to accomplish, and you can chose either. Do you want to perpetually be in a state of ketosis and eat mostly meat and fat? Or do you want to eat what you'd like in an 8 hour window.

guys, dryfasting sounds like such a meme.
why the fuck would this be good?

Nice, are you lifting at all?

Thinking of trying Keto OMAD for a week to kick start my cut. Can see why people rate it very hard to hit 1800 calories without carbs. Any recommendations?

>▶
Same. I dry fast 2/22 except I plan to keep this regimen until progressing to 2/46.

I am convinced more than ever people over-drink water.

Only very light cardio. Rowing or treadmill walking at a pace of 400-500 cal/hr for 30 mins to an hr each day.
Starting to feel a lot more absent minded doing it now though, might cut back.

Excessive water in your body causes inflammation, puts stress on bones etc. It also contains a lot of toxins, negative information, so fast with water retained is clearly not as effective in cleansing effect. Mosquitoes love swamps.

Travelers do not always have means of water. There is an oasis here and there but you are defined by the road and its suffering. It strengthens you physically, mentally and spiritually.

So, I've been at my grandmother's place for the past three days, she cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I couldn't refuse to eat any meal. I haven't got a scale here, but I counted calories and I ate something like 1500 every one of these three days. There's still a day to go. How much weight can I possibly have gained in these days? I feel full as fuck and I can't wait to fast as soon as I get back home

Day 7 here, shooting for at least 10, when I hit 10 I'm going to see how long it will take for a 10% bodyweight loos from my starting weight.
I work construction, (low voltage electrical/communications) so it's not too strenuous.
Doing push-ups and light kettlebell 11.4kg when I wake up. Nothing too crazy dropped 18lbs from 321.9lbs already.

You are fucking retarded

Alright my famtachi my last meal was the final one for at least 10 days. For real this time.

I love when people are like *I just stared an X day fast fifteen seconds ago*
Bitch you haven't started anything until at least 48 hours.

>Bitch you haven't started anything until at least 48 hours.
I've done 11 days, nice try being a hard ass though slob.

Hol up just lemme finish this pizza then I will start I swear

Hey don't beat yourself up. Being needlessly critical about yourself will only make it easier to burn out and give up. Just follow the shit and chill out about how hideous you think your body is. Besides if you get into fitness in any capacity you'll just develop body dismorphia so you might as well love the shitty body you think you'll always have in spite of your exercise.
This advice is universal

And fasting 11 days means you go around defending fatties with no willpower? You're pathetic.

I'm defending myself you brainlet.

I rarely eat chocolates or other sweets now, maybe once a month or so. Used to be a whole lot more. I eat an apple when I feel the urge to eat something sweet and now it tastes good as fuck. Pre OMAD/fast me would have retched at the taste of it.

Reposting cause I didn't get responses last time
>What's not overdoing it with exercising while fasting?
I live at home, waiting to join the military and trying to lose some fat a little quicker so I can make weight and ship to basic. I've been trying the IF thing for a couple of days, and my mom told me that she'd pay for a gym membership so I wouldn't be sitting around the house all day/make weight faster.
>I was eating like 600 calories these past 2 days, so is it a matter of tracking what amount of calories I burn and then eating enough to make up the difference? Or should working out burn more calories than I consume?
>Still really unsure about all this stuff.

Attached: ((0())).jpg (400x282, 74K)

Fuck I fucked up the quoting thing shit

Instead of eating 600 cals a day, snake juice fast for 8 days and refeed for 3-5 days. Your body will be much better off for it. No need to track shit as long as you can eyeball and confirm you're not eating something insane like 4000+ calories
fasting will take care of any surplus you may eat in your refeed periods.

That's the stomach of a sheath

Wouldn't it be """better""" to have constant low calorie intake rather than have periods of no calories and periods of comparatively insane calorie intake?
Got an article or something? It just sounds wacky

in the wild I would hunt and eat you...probably time to bulk my friend.

you look really good now but I admire your effort to see how good you can look! keep it up!

BUMP

Damn, are you me?

Goes without saying but anime doesn't really exist. Like that picture you posted, if you were that thin your ribs would be clearly visible. Not that it's such an awful thing, but everything's idealized.
GL with your weight loss

gonna wait for others to back me up on this but it's better for you to fast rather than eat super low calories. This is the /fast/ general after all, don't worry there's valid stuff behind this

Okey, I mean it's fair to recommend actual fasting over intermittent since we're in /fast/
Let's say I did start sippin jooce and still wanted to exercise. Is like 300 calories good? I would only do cardio and pushups/situps since that's what you have to be good at to join the branches I would join.

I'll back you up.
It's in the OP under difference calorie restriction and fasting. Part of it is the effect it has on insulin and how insulin affects body set weight. When you fast your insulin level decrease significantly and over an extended fast it should decrease your insulin resistance. Fung claims to have observed a similar effect with intermittent fasting over a longer time period. It's also, surprisingly, easier to stick to fasting than calorie restriction.

jesus that webm

Don't get me wrong, I'm not eating like 3 200 calorie meals or really counting very hard. I'm doing 18/6 intermittent fasting and eating about one meal. I could go full /fast/ but, and sorry to blog, I do still live at my parents' house and my mom would go full crab on me if she knew I was fasting. She works 6 days a week so her seeing me eat dinner sometimes is enough to make her think I'm not fasting. She's a nurse practitioner, but trouble is she thinks that she's an expert on every sort of healthcare field, including nutrition. I mentioned being interested in keto to her back in high school and she gave me a lecture on how dieting doesn't work and the only way to lose weight would be to swap out fatty shit for not fatty shit and exercising. Sound advice and that's what I've been doing for the past 4 months, but I want to drop 20lbs as soon as possible so that I can leave as soon as possible.

Is it safe to consume black coffee on a water fast?

Thank you based skelly man.

What, you too want to transfer universes and become the 2D?
Ah well, there are real models that look like anime. If they can do it why can't I? Still kept strong all day and not even hungry. Thank you user.
I might not reach perfection but I can move towards it. Plus it's so much easier to fast every other day than to try and eat like 500 cals a day every day. I tried that before and it's suffering. Fasting seems to decrease my hunger on eat days as well so that's a huge benefit. This is all around superior to standard cutting.

what does the faq say again?

anybody else gets second thoughts 2-3 days in on a fast? like "fuck is this really good for me, am I getting memed"? I never get that hungry, but I get those thoughts all the time.

I do. I always chalk it up to my brain trying to rationalize eating and deceive me, luckily based DBDDNE skele bro helps me out

>Last meal before fast
>2 hours later
>notice piece of food in my mouth
>eat it
>realize my mistake

do I have to reset? :(

Just finished my pre-fasting feast for my 100 day fast
>double cheese potatoes
>30 chicken nuggets
>lots of ketchup
>One gallon chocolate drink
Shit was cash

Anyway, LET'S DO THIS

Attached: 1531192808839.jpg (691x625, 236K)

To what end are you cutting?

You have no weight. If you really want those last ~5 lbs of fat just don't eat for 5 days.

Good luck fatty, doubt you'll make it past 48 hours with all those carbs if this isn't bait

Anybody else get extremely painful acid reflux when fasting?

How much strength will I lose on my main lifts if I fast during like 10 days?
Should I take a rest on the main lifts?

End of fast day. I drank a glass of milk. tfw never gonna make it.
>had to pick up special items from grocery store
>been craving milk for a week now, bought some fancy organic grassfed milk because I have a job so why not
>curious what it tastes like, had a glass
It's good mang.

hope you took a carb blocker

I used to have reflux before fasting and at the beginning, fasting sort of aggravated it. Fasting cured it though. Are you drinking the old snake juice without baking soda?

First time fasting here, 3 days in and I feel okay. Hunger pangs are controllable, but how do you guys control the liquid shit? Do you guys just not take a chance and go to the bathroom everytime you feel like farting?

Almost 48 hours into a 7 day fast
gettin real hongry
There's tasty food everywhere and my aunt made fried chicken

but man, I'll look really nice when I'm thinner
that makes it worth skipping dinner

Longest fast was 6 days and I drank snake juice with Himalayan salt and Nosalt. Still had terrible reflux daily.

Don't trust a fart.
How about apple cider vinegar and lemon juice? Those are acidic. Also, no baking soda? Add a teaspoon. And try to space out the time between sips of snake juice.

It’s worth a try. Thanks for the tip.

So the FAQ says yes but I actually came to the conclusion it's not such a good idea. Not because of calories because it obviously doesn't have any but because it gives me low blood sugar. Anyone else experiences something like this?

Guys, I need some help
Theres this food truck festival thing in a week or so that happens on the last day of my fast
Should I break it a day early to get some hipster chow?

Isn't the point of fasting to get low blood sugar?
so your body switches to converting fat into energy?

why the fuck not
it's not like you have a deadline to keep, enjoy the binge festival and get back on track later. Jesus man why do people ask these questions, unless you're an actor who needs to lose a few pounds fast or something you have no need to be an aspie and miss out on things in life.

I should have mentioned this is my first week trying to fast
I've experimented a little in the past, but this is the first official thing I've done
I guess I was just asking because I heard that making it through your first fast builds confidence

fuck confidence you'll get it when you've got a few streaks under your belt, enjoy the hippie festival

Week 3 of OMAD. If I don't feel hungry at all during the day (except for occasional sugar/carb cravings), does it mean I've become fat adapted?

>day 3 of fasting
>shitting liquid every hour
>asshole is irritated and burning because I kept wiping my butt every hour

What did I do wrong? Is this normal? Hunger is manageable, but I didn't sign up for liquid diahrea

I really enjoy when Cole regurgitates his understanding of his fellow countryman, Dr. Peterson. But god damn my man has gotten too obsessed with yelling and triggering people.

IT TAKES CRAAAZY SELF DEVELOPMENT TO DRINK LIKE, A PILE OF PISS.

I miss old cole. Is the fat driving him over the edge?

you drank too much at once, or you're using more salt in your pissjuice than you need.

Day 7 of fast
Starting Weight: 230
Current Weight: 215
Goal weight: 180

Should I stop and take a break around 200 or? I still feel fine however.

why stop?

He is reaching his final form. Someone photoshop a pic of Cole with blazing yellow eyes and six arms, each holding a shaker filled with finest piss. Something like the wormchad deadlifting pic.
