LMAO TOO TRUE. BE THE ADULT AND BE CLEAR & CONCISE ABOUT YOUR CHOICE TO FAST. LEARN ENOUGH TO HAVE BASIC COMPETENCY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY DURING A FAST AND PREPARE TO ANSWER COMMON QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS (THIS IS JUST STARVATION, ANOREXIA, YOU'LL DIE, ETC..). IF THEY ARE STILL NOT CONVINCED, DO NOT BLAME THEM COMPLETELY SINCE INDOCTRINATION IS EXTREMELY HARD TO BREAK AND FEAR IS THE USUAL RESPONSE TO FASTING. WORK ON NEGOTIATION SKILLS AND LEARN HOW TO CONVINCE OTHERS. THAT WAY YOU'LL BE GAINING SOME SKILL THAT YOU CAN USE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND YOU'LL GAIN SOME SELF-RESPECT FOR IT ALONG THE WAY.

Who here reached the boredom stage? I'll look at the clock then like an hour later I'll look at it again and only 20mins have passed by. I'm refraining from typing out 2000 character length posts with each post I make and I've already done like 50 of those length posts today.

One year my mother gave me and one of my GFs at the time vouchers for washing dishes and cleaning rooms. lol

Now I just get food and I tell everyone to stop giving me food. They usually end up eating it anyway.

START READING SOME BOOKS, WATCHING SOME VIDEOS WITH ACTUAL VALUE, LEARN SOMETHING NEW, START A MEANINGFUL HOBBY, DO SOME VOLUNTEER WORK, GO OUT FOR A WALK, CLEAN UP YOUR HOUSE, LIVE YOUR LIFE, ETC..

Christmas is such a shit holiday anyways. How am I supposed to be Merry when I have to make a choice between paying my rent and not working a job I despise.

You are not here yet. It doesn't matter what you do, you will still be bored. It is like an unending phase.

just came here to say people who dry fast are fucking disgusting.

you probably don't even drink enough water when you're not fasting and it makes your skin bad.

Or maybe you're just a faggot

I'LL SEE IF I CAN GO 10+ DAYS NEXT YEAR SO I CAN JOIN THE CLUB.

IS THAT YOU, /FAT/?

What's even the point of dry fasting? That seems like some shit body builders would do days before a competition to get as vascular as possible.

Dry fasting day 4 for me here. I can say with certainty it's really great. I've lost 35 lbs since December 1st. When not fasting I do OMAD.

There are a number of reasons why people do dry fasting, but one reason is for increased fat loss. Your body naturally breaks down fat cells and uses the hydrogen from the fat combined with oxygen you breathe in to create molecular water. Dry fasting also has anti-inflammatory benefits. It is safe and healthy if done properly with a bit of preparation.

I have yet to seen anywhere what these "preparations" are it's just retards saying bruh muh dry fasting bruuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Don't pay attention to that guy, he posted the same pasta in last thread. There is no preparation necessary. Just stop eating and drinking. When you are done just start drinking and/or eating.

Lol I dry fast Sunday-Wednesday every week and I have clear skin. If you think water is what keeps your skin clear, you are mentally challenged.

degenerate mother bailed on christmas so i started my fast a day early

i'm on hour 14 of what will hopefully be a 72+ hour fast. first time but smooth sailing so far. what kind of fat loss can i expect per day? help a bro out with some motivation to keep going

youtube.com/watch?v=XPQybFroHFk

On the day before you start the fast you can hydrate a lot. I eat a lot of cucumber with salt. This gets electrolytes up, because eventually in the fast your electrolyte levels will get low and you'll start feeling pretty spaced-out. I think getting a lot of sodium and potassium in at the start can help mitigate that. I also take baking soda mixed in water to alkalize my kidneys prior to the fast. I'll also say that I have never done a completely strict dry fast. I still take apple cider vinegar + baking soda shots twice a day and I also lick small amounts of sea salt and potassium chloride (NoSalt) to keep my electrolytes up a bit, but that's it.

Neat my dad is doing IF. Think he said he fasts 18 hours every day. This makes me want to do a 10 day Snake Fast in solidarity.

thx bro. lfg.

is it good if I take those vitamins while fasting ?

I'm doing a 5 day fast lads, wish me luck.

Or should I just do a 5 day dry fast instead, with a few licks of salt like

Starting out on a 5 day dry fast is extremely difficult. Try to do one day water, then 3 days dry, then back to water on the final day. You don't need salt if it's only 5 days.

Good luck

I think just jumping into a dry fast is a bad idea. Do some SJ fasts first

>You don't need salt if it's only 5 days.
I don't know-- I think it varies for different people. It seems like some people don't need it, but for me it absolutely helps, even for relatively short fasts. Like, I CAN fast without snake juice or salts, but I get spaced out as fuck. Getting electrolytes in, even if it's just a two or three day fast, it really makes the whole process a lot easier, but that's just me

For me the first few times I fasted it was hell with the snake juice. I felt spaced out like you said. Now that I've done it a few times my mental focus is even better than non fasting. Every four days or so I'll take in the ingredients of snake juice in a shot glass. Then I'll just drink plain water. Or if I'm dry fasting I take nothing at all. That's just me though. Lost 35 lbs in less than a month. Started at 270 at December 1st, now 235 at December 25th. Mixed in with some OMAD of low carb low sugar foods (Steak, Pork, Cold Cuts). That's just me though. Like you said everyone is different.

Im recovering from the flu. No more fever but Im still tired and weak. Can I do the snake juice fast or should I wait until Ive fully recovered.

Now is the best time to fast. I haven't been the least bit sick in around 3 years now since I've started fasting.

Theres a difference between preempting and doing so after the fact though. Since Im already weak I just dont know.

I would say fast for intervals that you know you're comfortable with. I firmly believe that fasting is the best medicine to get over sickness and I'd personally go for as long as I can if I was sick.

shit nice progress g

>Chest pain and tightness on left side for like 3 days now
I'm kinda scared, man

Dumb question alert:
>tl;dr: would sipping BCAAs and taking a thermogenic during fast break the fast?

I'm about to go into a heavy cut/recomp and want to fast. I fasted before and it worked great except I was eating at maintenance and above levels. I would eat/drink absolutely nothing until I hit 16+ hours fasted. I was not taking any supplements. I lost a good amount weight like that and had good energy.

For this fast I would like to get on supplements and since I will cut my calories to about 1600-1800 I want to use BCAAs.

Would sipping Xtend BCAAs ruin my fast at all? Thinking of taking a mixing Xtend with ALCAR and maybe a thermogenic to sip throughout the day leading to my workout where I'll break the fast.

how long does snake juice last in preservation? does it even go bad?

Where do I get the stuff for snake juice. Whole foods. I dont want to order. Motivated to start today.

Idk what country you live in but you should be able to find all 4 ingredients at any grocery store or through amazon.

I'm gonna water fast for 20 days. Have already OMAD for 3 months.
See you guys Jan 26.

>amazon
Id have to wait to start. Is this stuff you can find in a kroger?

>amazon
i said i don't want to order it you fucking piece of shit faggot

Bye sweetie, love you

Not sure. I don't live near a kroger but I can find the stuff at walmart no problem.
Try ebay

Fucking fartface

>Do I need a multivitamin?
>No

Can I still take one anyways without screwing up my fast, or will it screw up my fast? Is it just neutral to the fasting process or is it actively negative to my fasting process?

Can I just take a shotglass with the snake juice ingredients at the start of my day and just drink water throughout the rest of my day? Will I die or something? Sipping what is essentially salt water throughout the day has been wretched on top of being hungry.

Fresh penis

Oh good, the thread is shit again, someone call me when capslock-user comes back.

can i just fast and drink water? Idk if i trust this "snake juice" recipe

The snake juice is basically a drinkable IV fluid they give you in the hospital. That being said, you can drink water it's perfectly safe.

How should I reefed after my fast is done? Can I just eat my normal cutting meal plan if I don't just eat it all in one sitting? Any particular food groups I should avoid at the start of my refeed day?

Are medications like ibuprofen and sleep meds like zzzquil ok if I’m experiencing headaches or having trouble sleeping during my fast?

can i fast and drink chicken broth?

Does it have calories? Then no.

what's the difference between fasting, and just having very little calories?

I typically avoid excess carbs and sugar, it will make you crash most likely. I would recommend eating meat.

I took a Tylenol PM and it didn't seem to trigger any negative response to fasting. My mouth was crazy dry though when I woke up.

Fasting is the absence of food. Period. Having very little calories is a severe calorie restricted diet.

If you eat, your insulin will rise and you will store fat. Fasting has the benefit of not spiking insulin while using your own body fat for fuel. It's also great for healing your body.

Thinking of trying out a water fast. Don't feel like ordering anything for snake juice. Can I just drink a bit of salt everyday?
Also is lifting while fasting ok?

Yes to both.

Stop complicating things with your pussy ass questions. Just make snake juice, drink it and don't fucking eat. What's so hard to understand?

Is fasting safe with having gallstones? And a family history of kidney stones.

the first fast i did was 5 days dry into 2 days wet to prepare for dinner at family. then did it again right after that.

dint feel that hard. after a few days thirst does not get worse

Maybe. Conditions in the body during a fast could turn a large asymptomatic stone into a smaller symptomatic one.

I ate a whole bunch of meat yesterday
I ate a whole bunch of meat today
I plan to go on my first real snake fast from now on (hopefully until new year's, then we'll see).
Do I need the Epsom salts? Also, the salt substitute I got for K is around 2 3rds KCl and 1 3rd NaCl, should I adjust the amounts? That is, 3/2 tsl of the sub and no pink salt.

fuck off. going long on your first time is the best way to just push through everything and make it easier on yourself in the end

Who are you talking to?

Going long on a water fast is one thing, going long on a dry fast is an entirely different animal. Maybe you are trying to kill someone, I don't know.

You sound like you have a lot of anxiety

First Fast - Day 2. My brain feels like it's going to explode. What do?

It’s stupid because you’ll probably piss most of it without any foods to aid absorption with, or you’ll burn your GI tract

God tier weightloss is Carnivore+OMAD+plus bi-weekly 3 day water fasting.

Dropped from 278 to 212 from July to today.

Fuck no, don't fast if you have underlying kidney conditions

drink salt
know that you have worse withdrawal symptoms then on heroine and pretend your beating that drug addiction.
go for 4+ days or until you start to feel better.
refeed with veggies and meat (maybe some fermented food if you wanna try that)

Fasting won't agitate your stones, there's no new shit coming in. I would avoid dry fasting though

I ate like a fucking retard over the holidays at my grandparents house. I feel bloated, disgusting and shitty now. I want to do a 72-hour fast to sort of reset my digestion and stop feeling like a fucking stuffed pig.

Should I continue to lift weights and do cardio while on this three-day fast? Should I do the same workout but just tone it down?

why would you tone it down. i had the same idea but instead i doubled it up and did 8km run and 2 hour dumbbells and bodyweight exercises because gym is closed

If you're bloated and holding lots of water and glycogen, you should be fine lifting and doing cardio.

Can I bulletproof coffee in the morning and then fast? Will forcing to excessively sweat help a fast?

I understand why doing cardio while fasting is important, you can just draw from your fat reserves for energy. With weight lifting, aren't you just breaking down muscle fibers with no reaql way to rebuild them?

>Lost 35 lbs in less than a month. Started at 270 at December 1st, now 235 at December 25th.
based nice work bro

It should last forever. Now, "super snake juice" on the other hand I'm not sure about

Take progress pics and post them

The idea behind snake juice is that it will keep your electrolytes up so you don't feel sluggish and spaced out. Personally I find that I feel much much better on SJ. If I fast on plain water, I already feel noticeably sluggish on the second day, and the days after I feel pretty bad. However, there are a lot of people who are totally fine fasting on plain water. I would suggest having some SJ or SJ ingredients on hand, so if you do start feeling spaced-out and sluggish, you can take some SJ and see if that helps. Word of warning though, don't chug the snek juice unless you want to pee out of your butt (again just my experience)

Any fastlords noticing a complete lack of interest in food? Starting to feel like eating is a chore, and the thought of it really turns me off

Doesn't really matter, you have enough reserves in your body to fast for at least a month. The important bit is the salts, especially sodium and potassium. If you take multivitamins, you'll be a bit nauseaus for about a half hour but it goes over fast. They're meant to take with food.

Sounds like a ulcer to me. You might need to see a doctor and do a gastroscopy. You could try proton pump inhibitors.

>The idea behind snake juice is that it will keep your electrolytes up so you don't feel sluggish and spaced out.
It will also protect you from getting cardiac arrest from electrolyte disturbances. That's the important part.

wait until your getting lean. i am fucking obsessed with food

just started working out. bulking til april and full fast in may for optimal beach body. is that smart?

You don't really need to bulk more than max a 500 cal surplus, 300 cals should probably be enough. I managed to lose 7 kg by a six days water fast, should be able to cut that fat gain in a week or something.

you mean 7 pounds i hope. 7kg is just half water weight

Is it possible to gain muscles while fasting? I'm a complete beginner so I get sore muscles just from jogging.

owo owo owo owo owo xD xD XDDD how much gojinkun (fat cells in kilograms) can I lose in 5.4 (rounded down, 5 whole units) days??????? I'm a fattie fattie fat fat fucker puck puck packaa

>this is your brain on carbs
