/fast/ - #372 - NOBODY FUCKING CARES EDITION

That's nothing! When I was still a fatass I ate 3 boxes of spaghetti(and tomato sauce) in one sitting, just to impress my boss. The local eatery had all you can eat spaghetti. I made it pretty deep but my boss said if I couldn't finish a 3rd box then I was a pussy and I better find a new job(he was kidding), so I did. That's 24 2 oz servings, in case you're wondering. We estimated the weight, cooked and sauced, at ~11 lbs, not including bread sticks and meatballs with the first plate.

So I’ve been trying 16/8 IF (window noon-20:00) for about a week to lower my body fat %, and I’ve noticed two things.

1. 10:00-11:00 is hell. How long does it take to reprogram the need for breakfast?
2. Then at 12:00 I find I have no appetite after starving for an hour. Wtf is this

We're all gonna make it bros.

>Diabeetus Dubs

25yrs old skinnyfat (73kg, 177cm) trying water fasting for the first time. Aiming just for 48hrs, shouldn't be that hard since I've been on a 1,000kcal diet for a week now already.

My goal weight is 58kgs by June, I hope that is possible by fasting once a month and eating 800-1200kcal daily.

I've read all the q&a's but any more tips I could use?

Wish me luck!

#WTF you will have auschwitzmode

Yea, I’m confused by this too.

I believe in you bro

Starting weight 275
Current weight 200

At a plateau right now Shit sucks

My stats make me seem like I am normal weight but I look fat as fuck, propably because my muscle mass is non-existent. I have been 60kgs before and even then I had a small skinnyfat gut.

My goal is to diet until 58kgs and lean bulk from there.

Anyways, what do you think about nicotine during fasting? I use snus, not cigarettes.

>no food
>no porn
>no video games
>no caffeine
>prayer and meditation
it’s been 6 days, i feel like an enlightened monk

Thats just dumb shit. Why should oyu take nicotine ? Its a fucking drug, that fucks with your brain and doesnt help at all.
I think you should better start lifting and eating at maintence

Yea, you’re light enough. You need to lift, watch your calories, and mix in some cardio. You will always be skinnyfat without proper exercise.

Just keep on pushing through bro. Imagine the feeling of accomplishment at the end of the journey. That's what keeps me going. We gon make it brotha.

I'm purely fasting for weight loss, and I am a nicotine addict already so would be twice as hard.

If you saw me irl you would call me a fat fuck and say I should definitely cut, not eat at maintenance. I look almost identical to the left pic.

Dont know man. But i think you will be such a weak after fasting to this point it doesnt make sense. Lift till march and then cut down

I'll start doing 24 hour fasts after I test my maxes. I can't afford a keto diet though, so is low carb good enough? Like 100-120g

Also should I keep doing a strength program or just spend the next month doing low intensity high reps on every movement. I only have to lose about 4kg

How much weight do you guys typically lose? Like how much can I expect to lose a week? Also if I’m doing a water fast when is my refeed day?

Low carb is under 100. Slow carb is cheaper because legumes. Read up.

As someone who quit smoking and is fasting, I can tell doing both at the same time was too difficult for me, so I chose to quit smoking first, without dieting at all, which made me gain all the weight I lost back (over 30kg), but then I restarted fasting once I had no more cravings and have since lost it back and some.
If you want to know if something affects your fast it's really simple: do you feel hungrier? If so, your fast broke. Otherwise, it's fine. I recommend you quit nicotine first and lose weight again later, because that's what I did and it worked for me. If you think doing the opposite is easier, try it, but I couldn't see myself quitting smoking after losing weight, I was sure I'd gain it all back trying, which is why I quit smoking first. Good luck.

15 pounds in two weeks doing 20 hour fasts followed by 36 hour fasts, fasted training followed by 20 hours etc.

i've lost 23 lbs in two weeks (so far)

That was a good read and almost exactly what I'm doing. I'll eat when i wake up

After the "noob gains" (aka the water weight), still around 1.5kg-2.5kg a week for me. I'm doing three meals a week, each at max 1500 kcal. I spread them so there is one on Wednesdays, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, so after my Sunday meal I fast for around 70 hours until my Wednesday meal, and then again 70 hours for my saturday meal, then around 22 hours for my sunday meal, and the cycle continues.

Holy shit this is inspiring. Starting Monday.
Starting weight 220 goal weight 160
Wish me luck

If you’ve never fasted before you might want to ease into it.

Can someone pee in my mouth everyday? It'd help me with piss fasting. I'd do it myself but I prefer having it from someone else ;3

How do?

W I D E

Came off my fast today. Started at about 225 in December, now 192 this morning. Because of this, I like to test different foods to see if they're alright for breaking a fast. Cheese quesadillas in CORN tortillas are OK. Not ideal, but ok. In my experience, eggs and bacon are amazing for breaking a fast, as well as meat (beef). Stay the fuck away from pancakes though.

Attached: 1547429788939.jpg (750x738, 49K)

Start with short term fasts like 16 hours and build up your tolerance/skill level by increasing the time.

Try your luck. Start with OMAD.

fuck that, jump straight into 48h dry fast like i did, then continue with snake juice

easing in is for pussies, first 2-3 days are gonna suck no matter what, just get them over with

I’d start with OMAD. Move into 48s and than as long as you can handle after that on snake juice. That’s how I built up to it at least.

bullshit

make your first fast as long as possible 5+ days if possible to have gone through all withdrawals and into keto

I mean I jumped into it too but not everyone can do it and some get discouraged by an initial failure and need smaller consecutive successes to stay motivated.

sounds awesome. do you water-fast in these 70/22 hours periods?

>Start doing keto along with fasts
>Buy some almond butter
>Remember that almond butter tastes like fucking nothing

Why do people buy this shit?

There's no fasting thread right now, so I'll start one. I have a few questions.

Which fast is best to maintain or cut with?

I've heard internment fasting is the way to go for bulking. I've reached 210 lbs at roughly 17% body fat. I want to go down a good 8-9%.

I also am into powerlifting, a bit. Wil fasting hurt my strength gains? I've been adding 5 lbs/month to my main upper body lifts, and 10 lbs/month to my main lower ones.

Can I fast for a couple weeks at a time and keep up progress?

Don't I eventually need to eat protein to give my body something to repair the ripped tissues with?

Attached: IMG_20190114_1412496.jpg (1600x1200, 292K)

Yes. I don't do snake juice, not out of any good reason though, I just haven't tried it yet.
The thing I should probably tell you is that when you start you will probably have a headache while water fasting. The first time I fasted I tried for a week and managed 88 hours only, breaking because I was worried about the headache. Don't be discouraged if you have to break your fast because of it, remember that the headache will only happen once or twice at the beginning and then it never comes back, unless you quit fasting for a few weeks and start fasting again after.

Did you not even bother to edit your post before replying to this thread?

>Not going to make it

>There's no fasting thread right now
what thread are you posting in? /fph/? Stupid git.

In class, didn't have time to edit.

If nobody has advice, fuck it.

Consecutive post brother. We are family.

>Which fast is best to maintain or cut with?

I recommend OMAD to maintain. To cut, depends on the rate. The less meals the better the cut. Don't feel scared about losing muscle from it, but don't hope to gain much either.

>I also am into powerlifting, a bit. Wil fasting hurt my strength gains? I've been adding 5 lbs/month to my main upper body lifts, and 10 lbs/month to my main lower ones.

OMAD won't hurt it much, fasting more than it will definitely stall you.

>Can I fast for a couple weeks at a time and keep up progress?

You will be stalled during that week. And for the next few sessions after while your body is rebuilding.

>Don't I eventually need to eat protein to give my body something to repair the ripped tissues with?

Yes. Be mindful of what you break your fast with.

I'm a bitch for being scared of working out? Listen I think I have a heart issue and I'll continue working out but I think I'm going to blow a valve in the gym and pass out
My health is so poor I think I'm going to die
If I walk up three flights of stairs I'm noticing issues breathing and my heart rate goes up

I also take a ton of pre workout everyday and I think my heart is giving out

thanks for your answer.
I just finished my first 25 hours of water-fasting and still going. will probably stick to your 70/70/22-plan.
(quit caffeine-addiction as well - still no headaches. let's hope for the best)
I will probably just take some salt inbetween, to at least get the Na+.

do cardio faggot
dont do water/snake juice fast

Lads, can I fast for 90 days on just snake water? I am so fat it's a chore to get up from bed.

Personally I’m scared to go past 10 days, but I see people do it online all the time.

First 72 completed. Ketone strip says 40 - moderate. Going to eat a low carb meal.

world record is 382 days so yeah, probably

I did a 21 day fast going for another one again
90 is too much especially if its your first time
try a 5 day then go to 21 day

I don't care if it kills me because the fat certainly will.

i meeean, once you're past 7 days it's not that hard to keep it going, as long as you have bodyfat and replenish electrolytes you can keep going for ages

How much did you lose? I’ve only ever done a 6 day and I’m trying 10 next. Is 21 that much harder?

326 lbs here wanting to kms.

Why do you not need multivitamins in a fast? I'm thinking of starting them. I've failed every other lifestyle change you can imagine because I'm basically a bitch

Do you have any fasting experience? If not, start small and work your way up. Try a 24hr. If you feel ok, keep going to a 48, then a 72. Re-feed and start again. Do a few rounds and listen to your body. Extend it as you can, work up to more.

Refeeding after 72hr.
100g steak, 370g romaine salad and 30g bleu cheese dressing. All known foods that do not cause me any issues. Stomach is noisy.

>i meeean, once you're past 7 days it's not that hard to keep it going, as long as you have bodyfat and replenish electrolytes you can keep going for ages
this is true but I still wouldnt risk it better do 21 days then refeed 7 days and start again IMO
the hardest part was my craving for cheese

Holy fuck that steak looks awful. Did you like sous vide or microwave it or something?

24/48/72h isnt fasting
its faggot shit

Attached: 1545559895851.jpg (730x730, 49K)

Nope, just pan seared to medrare. It’s cold. What looks awful about it? I don’t like overcooked meat. It tasted yum.

You can do keto cheap by sticking to oils, fats, butter and cheap veggies, eggs. Just avoid expensive things like meats, cheeses, coconut oil and avocados unless they're on sale. An egg with butter on zucchini is fairly inexpensive.
Start with 16 hour fast, 8 hour of eating window. Then 20/4, OMAD, then a full 24 hour, 48 hour etc. I max out at 4 days because after that I can't sleep and I get very irritable.
Don't really know why but I have some guesses. The world record faster did take a daily multivitamin but others did not. Some vitamins are used in digestion which is why we need them. Like vitamin B which is used to digest carbohydrates. If you're eating carbs and not getting vitamin B you get beriberi disease. You also need vitamins to build new cells like vitamin A is an essential component in cell formation. But if you're just fasting you're not really building a lot of new cells. Also your body is able to reused and break down old bad cells and use those nutrients to make any new cells it needs.

>What looks awful about it?
maybe cook it next time animal

Lol that isn’t seared. It’s barely browned.

Currently 30hours in on my first water fast. I don't feel hungry at all right now. Gonna break my fast after 48 hours since I don't have snake juice. Wish me luck /fast/.

All that is your sear - you cooked it as one piece and then sliced it.

It also didn't cook it nearly hot enough, or you didn't dry it. So, you cooked it for waaay too long at waaay to low heat. If you want to get a good sear on it, you want the oil to be just about smoking, and you can cook a steak of that thickness in like 5-8 minutes easily to that same doneness. It'll taste better because of the Maillard reaction. Your shit looks like lunch meat.

omaw or 2maw

It is fasting if you're already lean. Maybe it's not fasting for you because you're a landwhale, though.

7 day sj fast follow by carnivore refeed

Fuck fasting

I had a hotdog today in the morning

I'm a 5'11 manlet 165 lb, I am not that obese anymore, I'm just gonna drink water and eat healthy, I am tired of semi-starving each fucking day, I am tired of having a pessimistic humor because I don't have sugar and proteins anymore

Fuck fasting

Thanks, I’ll try that. What kind of oil?

Yep, like rare meat.

HUNGER RESPONSE. PAVLOV'S DOG, WITH CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY AS THE TRIGGER FOR THE REACTION.
WHY AREN'T YOU TIGHTENING UP YOUR EATING WINDOW? YOU AN OLYMPIC ATHLETE?

HOW LONG DID THAT TAKE YOU? WHAT'S YOUR ROUTINE?
KEEP UP THE PROGRESS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW THAT YOU DON'T NEED ANY OF THAT TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE?

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO AGREE WITH UNLESS YOU SHOW US A PICTURE OF YOURSELF.

MARKETING.

Hey this could have been written my me back when I started 16/8! I bumped my window back to 11-19. I do gym in the morning and by the time I'm done and showered it's 11 and I can eat Being at the gym during this time also helps me not look at the clock, which I think plays a big role your hunger dilating time the hour before eating like it does. If you are in class or at work, try not looking at or covering up the clock if you are able.

WHY ARE YOU NOT JUST CHOOSING A NAME FOR YOUR POSTS OR GET A TRIPCODE IF YOU WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED SO BADLY?

YOU HAVE EVERYTHING STORED IN YOUR FAT TISSUE.

YOU'RE FAILING BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO FUCKING PURPOSE, WHICH MEANS YOU WILL FAIL AT FASTING AS WELL. WHY DO YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT? WHY DO YOU WANT TO LIVE?

YOU DON'T NEED TO FAST AT THOSE STATS ANYMORE. EAT AND LIFT YOU FUCKING LAZY FUCK.

I DIDN'T EVEN POST ANYTHING OFFENSIVE AND YET YOUR LACK OF DISCIPLINE AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGERS YOU.
DO YOU SEE HOW CAPSLOCK FILTERS FAGGOTRY?

this isn't reddit, histrionic cunt

He's right tho: stop being an attention-seeking faggot please.

It’s a small window because I’m new at it. I want to work my way down to OMAD, possibly.

What do you recommend, yellbro?

YEA, THAT'S WHY I TYPE IN ALL CAPS. DO YOU REALLY THINK WHAT YOU SAY WILL CHANGE WHAT I DO?
AND YOU FAIL TO SEE MY MOTIVE. YOU'RE JUST RUN OF THE MILL HATERS THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS. YOU THINK CALLING SOMEBODY AN ATTENTION-SEEKING FAGGOT WILL STOP ME FROM WHAT I'M DOING? HOLY FUCK, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN COMING TO THIS SITE FOR 3-4 MONTHS WITH A TOTAL TIME OF SOCIAL INTERACTION OF LESS THAN A YEAR. YOUR LEVEL OF DISCIPLINE IS THAT OF A 14 YEAR OLD BOY WITH CONTROL ISSUES.
IF YOU WANT YOUR SOCCER MOM INTERNET ETIQUETTE, YOU'VE COME TO THE WRONG PLACE.

IF YOU'RE LEAN YOU CAN DEFINITELY WORK YOUR WAY TO OMAD AND EVEN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 18:6 IF YOU'RE A KILLER AT THE GYM. AT THAT POINT, YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE FASTING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME UNLESS YOU WANT THE BENEFITS OF AUTOPHAGY OR HEAL SOME SHIT.
IF YOU'RE FAT, YOU SHOULD BE EATING ONCE A WEEK WITH SNAKE JUICE.

I’m with you brother.
Started at 280. 209 this morning.

I fasted today it’s 23pm and I just worked out at the gym, should I keep fasting or eat sth at home?

Damn how long did that take you.

what does the 100 meme thing in the image mean?

>Thanks, I’ll try that. What kind of oil?
Pretty much anything besides unclarified butter, sesame oil, or extra virgin olive oil.

So, canola, peanut, grapeseed, clarified butter, refined olive oil, vegetable oil, etc. are all fine.

>HOW TO MEAT
1.Take out and flatten meat if not sized consistently.
2. Heat pan.
3. Pat meat dry with paper towels or something.
4. Spice meat.
5. Add oil to pan.
6. After 1-2 minutes add meat to pan.
7. Flip as much as you want if it makes you feel better, or as little as you want. It's kinda pointless to flip more.
8. Wait until doneness (thermometers are great)
9.Remove meat
10. let meat sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing/eating.

I fucked up and carb loaded yesterday on refeed and didnt eat any meat or protein. Was going to start another 7 day fast but Im bothered by not having eaten meat. Would it be smarter to just eat a really healthy meal today with lots of protein or say fuck it and fast for another 7 days. Either this week or next week will be my last extended fast. I weigh 185 and I'm auschwitz mode at anything less than 170.
btw I carbloaded because it was time to break my fast, was feeling like shit, but didnt come home because of work and had to eat what was there.

Could get you on dat dere CUM fasting.

9 months. Kept stalling and loosing in spurts. Dropping to one meal a day or a super low calorie deficit helped push through.
