FAQ

So 2 of my friends came to me recently wanting to lose weight for their wedding in a year or so. Cole's approach of 'SNAKE JUICE TIL YOUR LEAN' probably would probably scare them off in the beginning so I've decided to put them on a daily IF routine with a 4 hour eating window, with the plan to get them on snake juice in the future when they start getting excited about results.

Have any of you coached other people with their weight loss? Did you have any issues?

Why is everyone who posts their pictures on /fast/ fat people who became less fat?

Where are the regular people who became sexy otters?

thinking about starting a milkies fast
sort like GOMAD but nothing to conflict the milkies

leave and never come back twinkcel

Yes it does.

(Psst (they, they don’t exist))

Bulking on refeeds has allowed me to simultaneously lose fat and gain muscle.

As long as you're calorie deficient you'll lose weight. Fasting is really irrelevant, only thing good about it is that it puts you into ketosis which makes you not hungry but you can reach ketosis by eating little or no carbs. If you feels good and you're calorie deficient you're good to go.

anyone else here addicted to seeing the scales drop day by day?

If your goal is to lose weight without losing muscle, then fasting is relevant. If your goal is to prevent, even cure, cancer, then fasting is relevant. If your goal is to get rid of dead cells, excess nutrients and other garbage, then fasting is relevant. If your goal is to allow your organs, bones and muscles to heal faster & better, then fasting is relevant. If your goal is to improve circulation, then fasting is relevant. If your goal is to extend your lifespan, then fasting is relevant. If your goal is to stimulate stem cell production and neuronogenesis, then fasting is relevant. If your goal is to increase HGH production, then fasting is relevant.

>mfw everytime i read "i gained muscle while fasting" itt
>like bitch how can you tell you're still fat

Was really surprised to see myself under 200 yesterday, after not scaling myself for awhile I would have guessed I was around 210, so 199 with shoes n clothes

After a while you might start to feel like chit and get headaches but if you drink the juice you’ll feel godly again

I'm 170 and 6'2 so pretty thin, want to get a little bit more off though, is a 24 or 48 a better idea?

>24 lbs lost over 10 days

You mean to say that each day this man had a calorie deficit of 8400, minus how much of the weight loss can be attributed to water and stuff

IF/OMAD

Water fasting kinda sucks for getting really lean.

I ate 4 butterscotch fingers. Feel like a piece of shit.

Probably 15 lbs water plus 4 lbs of food in the guts.

Ah sweet I'm OMAD anyway so I'll continue.
Thanks for the help,
good luck /fast/ers!!

I'm not fat though. Probably around 15-16% BF atm. I primarily fast for the health benefits.

Wow what a cuck

>16% bf
>not fat
over 11% is fat bro

I will have a pretty tight schedule at work, is it safe to eat only after 18.00 and stop before midnight? is this what intermittent fasting is called? is there a benefit to this? will I become a skeleton after months of this?

It's at a low enough point where muscle growth isn't obscured by fat. I am on the road to 12%, I started at about 19-20%.

and btw my BMI is about 19-20

Im about to start a test cycle.

If I am on test while I fast will this prevent muscle loss?

talk to me gang

>If I am on test while I fast will this prevent muscle loss?

You barely lose any muscle on fasting to begin with, so you are good to go

Is OMAW (one mean a week) okay? I think I can go more than that, since I am never hungry but I am scared of vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies since I don't drink snek joos, only water and tea (without sweet stuff ofc). At 6 days rn and wondering whether I will fuck something up by not having a normal intake of anything.

I'm on day 4 of a seven day fast, and I'm down 14 lbs.Should I refeed on keto for a few days then get back to it? If so how much calories should I consume and how long should I refeed for?

not that i actually believe him, but this is physically possible you just aren't using your brain.

What do you think the purpose of fatty tissue stores on the body is? This is the same reason weight loss studies frequently record increases in LBM when the participants also engage in resistance training despite widespread assertion by morons that you cant build muscle and lose fat at the same time.

However, for pure fasting it does leave the question of where the positive nitrogen balance comes from, so im inclined to say hes mistaking more pronounced musculature from lower bodyfat for gains.

5kg in 7 days just on OMAD, can't wait to see what SJ will do in a week.

Why am I not losing weight. My scale has not moved in 4 days. 4 fucking days of not eating only to look at the scale and see the same number. Today it read 1lb less which is something. But this is ridiculous. My first fast I lost 8lbs by this point.

what is the proper way to refeed? I've just done a 3 day fast and want to refeed. Should i eat up to maintenance or can i stay at a deficiency?

So, why is /fast/ on its own thread rather than widely discussed on Jow Forums?

It is though. Its just that most of the posts are congregated in one thread. It's basically a general.

Because you've gained water weight but lost fat. Assuming you took snake juice the sodium will cause water retention.

water weight, right now you are actually losing fat and gaining water weight and after a few days it will all pop off and you will lose another 8-10 lbs. thats how it works

No just water.

Im going to feed in 3 days though.

Really? I never see fasting discussion outside this place.

pathetic
do you want to make it or not

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
I knew it. I knew I could count on you.
Thank you!
Thank you, [spoiler]INSULIN[/spoiler] !!

when do you weigh in? You should do it in the morning after you take a piss/shit

Any time diet is mentioned you can usually see mentions of fasting.

Because we're a containment thread for brain-damaged autism.

I have exams starting in two days, should I hold off on starting a new diet?

Hello /fast/
I just want to thank you guys for being the best general on all of Jow Forums
shit just werks. My pinch-test is enormously reduced and I barely have any pinchable chub left. My appetite is also destroyed along with all junk food cravings. I just want you guys to know you're appreciated.
>a few months on intermittant and alternate-day

That would be the vegan general, my guy, fasting repairs your brain

In the mornings after a piss. I haven't had a shit since before I ate. If its water weight Im thinking being constipated might be making me hold water.

>cure, cancer
Post ignored.

Exams? In January?

>5'11
Sorry little guy, fasting won't cure you from forever manlet status or from being circumcised

his body looks freaky, why use him as an example?

What are the benefits of fasted workouts? Is it good to do a fasted workout, and eat at a deficit the next day rinse repeat? Trying to lose weight no tgain muscle.

I rather be fat then fast, I love food too much

Why does the sticky say starvation is bad yet these threads exist ?

the fuck? you think you can fast for 5 days.
why don't you eat properly and exercise?
>cutting

starvation is good for fatties and prediabetics

Just fast. It won’t take long to lose the weight. Workout when you’re done.

lmao, 5'11 is a fine height and your maymays won't change that
After the five day fast I'm heading straight to keto omad. I'm already exercising.

Starvation starts when you’ve depleted your fat and start to consume muscles and organs. It’s also involuntary. Not the same as fasting.

>grilled camembert
best cheese, tell me more

I'm at a low weight and can barely fast more than 2 days, especially when working

Hi /fast/, when you say "water fasting" you just mean "mix up that concoction in the OP and have only that for as many days as you can handle"? Can I drink additional water and if so should it be plain water or the electrolyte mix? Is there anything I can add to that mix that will make it more palatable? I get the feeling the worst part of it for me will be drinking saltwater.

Did I fuck up taking a two day break? I strictly only ate protein and fat.

Water weight fluctuations can be 5+ lbs per day.

this, stop checking the scale so often
The important thing is to make sure you're calorie deficient

>16:8 (16 hours fasting, 8 hour eating window) is the bare minimum.

You say 8 hours is the bare minimum, what makes you confident that an 9 or 10 hour eating window is unacceptable or significantly worse?

Keeping the diary up:

Broke the fast. Won't give up, will try again in next few days. Will remain sugar-free first (this helped in previous fasts) and consume/give/throw away food in the apartment.

Do 72hours and refeed on a few eggs then hit another 72 hours. Itll be a lot more effective than a straight 5 day fast.

Did you reply to the right post?

FUCK ME I WAS REPLYING TO THE OLD THREAD. OK I'M GOING TO COPY PASTE MY REPLIES AFTER I DO SOME REAL LIFE DAILIES.

Yes. I just demonstrated how a ten hour eating window isn't fasting at all.
Look if you don't want to fast then don't, but don't eat breakfast an hour later than usual and then claim you're fasting because you're really not.

Just eat at maintenance every other day. I'm currently fasting on my rest days while bulking on my workout days.

I'm trying to lose weight, not bulk

Bumping from last thread.

youre retarded user

Salt water, the headaches initially is your sugar withdrawal, you are breaking an addiction. You can do it!

Ok that's great and all, but...
>what makes you confident that an 9 or 10 hour eating window is unacceptable or significantly worse?

It's significantly worse because it's not even fasting you absolute moron. Stop eating for a few days so all the fat deposited in your brain can melt away and you can start thinking clearly again. 8 hours is the BARE MINIMUM and that's just for maintaining, if you're cutting you're looking at OMAD minimum.

40h checking in, 200 hours to go.

I'd be cautious with fasting and meds. You should probably w8 until the sickness is gone and fast after it OR keep the meds away entirely. Also some meds like ibuprofen are bad for your stomach, so it depends on what the pills do exactly.

My bf is currently like 16%.

If I did a water fast for 3 days, during which I also did light cardio and weightlifting, how much fat would I lose over that time period? Is it even worth it or should I just keep doing a low-cab IF cut?

Talking about stuff like Strepsils and the lot. I'm not morbidly ill, just a sore throat, and am wondering whether it's a good idea to anaesthetise it a bit. Not planning on using any NSAIDs either unless it all goes to shit.

user you're not very bright are you?

Could someone else repsond to my original question please.

What makes OP confident that a 8-10 hour feeding window is significantly worse than say 6-8 hours?

I'm at the same level and I implemented 2 30h fasts (2x1 day of not eating) to push below 10% again. Would do 36h, but I have my leg day workout in the morning after, so I need to eat before that.

Different user, but you simply won't enter a fasted state (ketosis, autophagy etc.). It's too short. It's not fucking fasting. Read up on timing for IF and fasting in general.
