FAQ >What is /fast/? Fast is a thread for the discussion of intermittent fasting, fasting, water fasting, and dry fasting.
>What’s the difference between intermittent fasting, water fasting, dry fasting, etc.? >Intermittent fasting: Fasting for a certain amount of time with a short eating window. 16:8 (16 hours fasting, 8 hour eating window) is the bare minimum. >Water fasting: Fasting with only water. >Dry fasting: Fasting with no water. Dangerous, use with caution.
>Can I fast if I have ___? See your doctor before fasting if you: >Have any sort of chronic illness >Have gout Don’t fast if you: >Have type 1 diabetes >Are malnourished/severely underweight >Are pregnant >Are breastfeeding
>How do I safely do an extended fast? Take snake juice, or just supplement electrolytes. >Water=2L >Potassium chloride =1 tsp (No Salt) >Sodium chloride = 1/2 tsp (Himalayan Pink Salt) >Sodium Bicarbonate = 1 tsp (Baking Soda) >Magnesium Sulphate = 1/2 tsp (Food Grade Epsom Salts) Mix these in 2L of water and sip it throughout the day. The apple cider vinegar and lemon are optional. 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 (8-10%).
>Will (something with calories) break my fast? Yes, headass.
>Can I drink coffee, tea, and diet soda? Or anything with artificial sweeteners? You can do whatever the fuck you want. We recommend avoiding those, sweeteners especially.
Is it normal for your body temp to rise on OMAD/48h fasts? I've been stupid hot lately. Not like uncomfortable and feverish, but dont need a jacket and need a fan on to sleep under covers despite a Scottish winter
Wyatt Phillips
Anything that requires your body to break down and filter messes up the fast iirc.
What is that shit, where you are supposed to eat all your food (including coffee/tea/etc) within an 8 hour period of time?
Mason Foster
With a combination of fasting & keto, I lost 130lb, got better glasses, better clothes, take care of my skin & hair, and I still cannot get any matches at all. None on tinder, none on bumble, none on hinge, none on match.
Here's my progress: fast 24-48 hours weekdays, OMAD on non fasting days. Eating 500-700 calories a meal.
Lost 4 lbs since I weighed myself on Friday. Eating around 1-4p on my OMAD days. So a little more than a pound a day.

Are you listing your height? This is important.
Colton Scott
based.
I have no idea if it's normal or not, but my body seems to completely lack thermo control too when I fast. I either have virtually no internal heat production and get frozen hands at 70 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit, or my entire body turns bright red and leaves me burning the fuck up for no discernible reason.
Landon Hill
Did my first extended fast over the weekend - last meal Friday 8pm and no food until Sunday 1pm. My question is - during the night from Saturday to Sunday I had to woke up to take a piss like 6 times - what was that all about? Does this always happen when you fast for a longer period of time?

Im trying to fast these next three days leading up to thanksgiving, i've only intermittently fasted before. Here is the big test bois. Other 350lbs faggots btfo your king is here

There's not really a good place to meet them in public around me.
It's not good, so no.

As far as I can tell, women on dating sites first look for a profile pic where >you look handsome and >you're with at least one other person of the opposite sex
If your profile pic lacks either of these things, all women including the fat ugly ones will drop you. If you pass that, she'll look for your height, and if it's starts with a 5' she'll drop you. If it's not listed at all, she'll probably still drop you.

When your insulin level drops and your body consumes its glycogen there is a natural diruetic effect. A combination of glycogen and sodium depletion will result in water dropping.
1 glycogen to 3 water approximately. If your liver stores 200g and skeletal muscle stores 300g you will hold around 1.5kg of water from that alone.
Keep your refeed to a low carb meal or ketogenic and you will not get as large a spike in water weight when you eat again. Make sure to take in salt and potassium during a fast or you will feel unwell (keto flu caused by low electrolyte levels)
DO NOT EAT! DON'T BE DECEIVED!!! DO NOT EAT! DON'T BE DECEIVED!! DO NOT EAT! DON'T BE DECEIVED! DO NOT EAT! DON'T BE DECEIVED!!! DO NOT EAT! DON'T BE DECEIVED!! DO NOT EAT! DON'T BE DECEIVED!
That explains it. I've been doing 16/8 for about a year now (I just skip breakfast) and it's been pretty good for me, I believe.

Starting a fast Thursday night after dinner for 72 hours. Its going to be my first fast ever. Pretty excited and nervous.
Jeremiah Gutierrez
Fast before too!
Jack Kelly
I dont have my snake juice stuff in yet, arriving from Amazon on Wednesday and I have to eat with some people on Thanksgiving (girlfriends parents dont want them to hate them). Pretty hype. not fat but have some weight I could definitely lose. Any idea how much I should expect to lose? I was thinking of doing a 72 hour and then maybe a refeed and then another one
No loose skin, all of it has tighten up. Dunno what could be but maybe it's because I've been losing weight slowly and steady instead of just doing it a super long fast, but don't know if there would be any problems with loose skin if I did one like that.
This is spot on, though I don't list my height, and it's still fine lol. Pictures with females is important. Preselection is real. Get your mating Lek on bois
Logan Cox
>Pictures with females is important
I have one of those, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Caleb Perry
What’s the right amount of time to fast before thanksgiving to maximize enjoyment of the meal?
Josiah Moore
I'd ask for the pic to try to help you, but I understand why you wouldn't want to post that here kek. Do you have another pic where you're with at least one other female that you could swap it out with? Maybe it's just a "bad" pic.
William Campbell
What keeps you motivated, /fast/? Personally, it's my health and girls.
Having a real hard time staying motivated. I lost a bunch of weight doing mostly 3 day fasts mixed with OMAD. Then I totally fell off and I’ve been doing strictly OMAD for a couple months now. I tell myself every day “this is the day I start fasting again” until I finish a 12 shift at the factory and then I’m thinking about dinner on my way home. I think I’ve gotten complacent because I’m thinner than I’ve been in years but I still have a little blob on my gut I’m trying to get rid of. How the fuck do you guys stay motivated?
Just keeping at it, fast when you can, you are 70% of the way there with OMAD. Just acknowledge that OMAD will be slower. Mix things up, try keto or carnivore if you are having trouble sustaining a multi-day?
Jaxson Barnes
keeping motivated is a very personal thing, but I find the great people in the discord help me keep motivated when I'm having trouble :)

My two cents for a new pic >get a tan (not great for skin, but just doing it for pic won't hurt much) >grow some stubble if you can >hair looks much improved in thin pic, but I think even shorter on sides, more athletic cut would suit you better
And if you think you could deal with contacts, I'd look into that. You're gonna make it user.
Angel Bell
Have mercy..
I considered the contacts route, but I look really bad without them. Very goofy looking.
Lookin good breh. Grow beard, get better looking glasses, go to a fancy city hair dresser and tell them to fuck your shit until it's good. After all that effort loosing weight don't you dare not improving on the rest! Good luck.
If tea is acceptable on a fast, is iced tea? Thinking of making some chamomile tea.
Michael Robinson
Jesus christ how do you let yourself get to 350? I would just pass on Thanksgiving dinner if I was you. And I'm not trying to be mean!
Mason Lewis
as long as there's no sweetener/sugar, sure.
Isaac Cruz
Hell yeah chamomile city here I come
Kayden Martin
Same here, if I was you I wouldn't even eat desu.

Reversing borderline type 2 diabetes, saving money, having better control over my mind, jogging further, being responsible for less waste and most of all rapid weightloss.

You don't need snake juice for 3 days or less fasts.
David Ortiz
Been doing 16:8, thinking about dropping it to 18:6, 20:4 is too daunting for now. I'm also afraid to try a full on fast. Because i lift 6 times per week, and i've been increasing the weight. Would a 3 day fast kill my gains?
Caleb Scott
Would it be okay to do 3 days fast, 1 day food until I drop 40kg?
James Ortiz
yes, or you could get better results with extended fasts, the choice is yours, see what works for you.
Make sure to take your electrolytes,
Carter Martinez
Boys I dont know if I'm making my snake juice wrong but it tastes like vomit. If it tastes a little better I could do a nice long 7 day fast or something
Anyone have anyway to make it better? I recall someone put Splenda in, which would spike insulin a little, but still no calories. Thoughts,
Jordan Lopez
I put 1/2 of each chloride in 1L of water with some Lemon juice or Apple cider vinegar. I omit the sodium bicarb and the magnesium. If you still find that concentration distasteful, try lowering the concentration.
Jordan Morris
I peed in my mouth once to see what it tasted like and it tasted just like snake juice.
Brayden Perry
Is it ever too soon to start drinking snekjoos? I know the golden rule is day 3 but I do a lot of squatting, bending, and lifting at work and there have been a couple times I’ve gotten lightheaded almost to the point of blacking out after only 22 ish hours.
Leo Nguyen
I asked about the 1 day of food mostly because i can't stomach the snake juice, i wanted to go as long as possible but without that thing. What would be my best option?
Leo Thomas
jesus people stop asking about when to drink snake juice. If you feel lightheaded or about to pass out then yes, obviously, you should drink some. I don't know how much. When I feel like that I drink a glass and it gets better. Feel weak = drink juice. Simple.
Mason Bailey
the 'golden rule' for snake juice is highly subjective. If you don't like to drink the snake juice you can simply eat the salt crystals or KCl crystals straight.
Go with how you feel, if you get hypotension its usually low sodium, then take some, either straight or with the joos. The sodium is usually more a concern on the shorter term fasts so concentrate on that.
if you are refeeding with plenty of green veg, avocados and the like once a week even, you should be alright for potassium.
Try not to go over 2-3 tsp of potassium chloride if you are taking that. Sodium Chloride you can take ad libitum, you should find your craving for salt will go down when you have enough.
Fuck this, I live in a third world shithole, got nowhere to buy and make snake juice. When I ask in the local pharmacy for potassium supplement they look at me like I'm searching for AIDS cure.
I swear it's easier to search or ask for cocaine.
pink himalayan salt? LOL
Aaron Green
Should've just spent it on drugs when you had the chance
Jaxson Brooks
Yeah, I've heard meth is really good for fasting.
Nicholas Anderson

Julian Fisher
>thanksgiving dinner soon >christmas dinner in a month
>get thrush like a bitch >treatment is an antifungal liquid I have to swallow >it has sugar and flavor >3 times a day
FUCK I WAS DOING SO GOOD FASTING FUCK
Tyler Walker
Your implication is retarded, faggo.
Andrew Mitchell
how do y'all break fasts? i gorge myself, otherwise i become incredibly hungry if i have anything less than a big meal. that's been working out for me, but i heard it's bad for you. hmmmmMMmmm. anyhow, shooting for a 72 hour fast before the thanksgiving weekend (started sunday evening, breaking wednesday evening)
Eli Cook
I fucking ate again man. I hate starting over from day 1.
Hudson Ortiz
I'm basically doing the same. Fasted today, gonna do tomorrow and Wednesday. Eat Thanksgiving Day. Then fast until Christmas Eve. Maybe some small ass refeeds every 10 days.
I got about 30-40lbs left for my goal for this year.
Hunter Richardson
>30-40 lbs in less than a month and a half holy moly, what pace have you been losing weight at? 30 lbs is about what i've lost in the past five months. i could certainly stand to step it up a notch tho (usually average out to a little over 2 days of fasting a week, if i had to say)
Michael Reed
Your bone structure is not Chad tier I guess.

Nicholas Peterson
fucking use the diluted one and dont drink any other stuff. update the fucking OP already
Jackson Fisher
keep in mind that every dating app has its algorithm manipulated to encourage you to spend money on swipes, so I wouldn't take it personally. go to a dive bar or something and see how that goes.
Luis Nelson
About how much weight can I loose on a 10 day water fast? How many days should I be fasting in a row to make meaningful progress?
Isaiah Nelson
typically 1 pound /day more or less depending on your bf. You can go 10 days supplementing with electrolytes but if you're a beginner. Maybe start with a 24-72 hrs fast and increase from that. You don't need snake juice for less than 3 days fast
Nathaniel Harris
>tfw 3rd day of keto + omad just woke up, i feel like absolute shit. I feel so weak and lethargic, and I feel that i want to throw up for some reason, i feel cold all the time. Is this just the sugar withdrawal or sings of my body starting to get adapted to keto?
