/fast/ - #373 - He Doesn't Have A 40 Day Fast Under His Belt edition

Yep i love me a chipotle bowl, chicken light beans no rice add guac extra lettuce

Weight loss. But I really don't want to drink diet soda. Quit soda years ago. Just need something that won't break fast

literally why the fuck wouldn't you just get the salad bowl instead its the same god damn thing with lettuce at the bottom instead of rice, can even toss a little lettuce and rice on if you want. They are like 700~ calories too so you could eat two and be about the same lewl

I'm literally in the same boat as you being stuck around 230 from 320, I think the key at this point is to stay consistent for a few months I'm going to start doing every other day meals and see if it gets me past the hump easier.

How do you lift weights on a fast? Won't you lose muscle that way?

I heard at best all you can do for excercise is light cardio, since Lifting weights/HITT cardio on a long fast will make your body eat muscle as well as fat to keep up with your ass.

Yes it does, but you can take BCAAs to help. Some debate on whether that breaks a fast or not. If you're fasted lifting and want to preserve working out I would take them. If weight loss is your thing more and just like working out maybe try to preserve the fast? He's looking for a prolonged plan so I would take the BCAAs. On a week only fasting plan I would just skip working out for a week besides some walking or pushups w.e

Not going to gain muscle without excess calories but you aren't going to lose as much if you lift fasted than if you weren't lifting at all. I've lost 100 pounds so far and while I haven't gained in my lifts I haven't lost any either and it increases your metabolism and makes you feel good in general.

Ok, whos is that semen demon?

What's the easiest way to get snake juice in Aus? Anywhere to order premixed stuff or just buy it all at the supermarket or....?

I recently stopped doing all out retard meals, going to try out 250 grams of steak and 2-3 eggs.

going to try out using stevia for tamago eggs

Is there anything saying you wouldn't gain muscle? I mean you're getting calories/protein from your fat stores, why wouldn't you be able to gain?

Is there any point to IF/OMAD than preparing you to long-term fasting?

1200 is probably right for your height, just make sure its balanced and you got a decent vitamins.

I do OMAD with pescatarian diet. No alcohol or processed carbs. My energy is through the roof and my mind feels so much sharper with all that fucking fish. Make sure you eat the right kinds of fish that don't have mercury though.

STAY AWAY FROM MY RUSSIAN WAIFU

I had been eating keto/lowcarb for a while before starting the fast, so there wasn't much water to lose.

I'm getting a physical done in 4 days. Should I break my fast then or just keep going? Going to have some blood work done.

>blood work
they want you fasting

What fishes do you recommend? I am on the road all the time so i love stashing a can of fish to have when i refeed. Usually kipper snacks, sardines, tuna, salmon, mackerel, oysters, or octopus. I was raised on canned fish and i absolutely love it, but i try to never have the same fish two days in a row

Who says headarse?

Give me one reason not to do cardio on my fast to speed this nightmare process up

Then stick to snake juice. Its just salty water desu.
If you really need some flavour you can add some sugarfree squash if you have that, just make it really weak so its nothing if spread out over 5 hours of drinking.

Just finished my first week of 5:2 fasting 5 days fasting, 2 days not fasting. When I eat it's strict keto tracked on MyFitnessPal. It's a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Name?

Not sure if people ever post success stories, but these threads helped me a lot. I wasn't huge, but I was definitely over weight and had an insane appetite. I did a 3 day water fast, two weeks of intermittent fasting, and then a 7 day water fast. I lost weight in that amount of time, but more importantly, it completely changed my appetite.
I've lost about 30 pounds now and i've successfully kept it off.

Water fasting got me in the habit of constantly drinking water, and I only eat one meal a day now. I will have a small snack in the morning, but not much extra. I feel happy and satisfied with my single meal.

Thank you, /fast/

Go ahead a do full workouts if you want just remember to replenish electrolytes and fasting sucks when you look at it as a nightmare. If you tell yourself that its a cleanse and most importantly your doing if for yourself fasting becomes way easier.

How do you know when you've worked too hard? How do you know if you've pushed it too far?

I started this fast 15 days ago at 213. Today, I weighed in a 190. But I still look fat around the abdomen, and there's still not space between the thighs. I suppose my chest, face, and arms look slightly thinner.

I've maintained resistance training 5-6 days since I've started. I've kept my salts in balance, but have felt very fatigued in the past 72 hours. My muscles continue to ache with this slow, deep set feeling - much more stiff and limiting than the normal soreness you get after a workout.

My fear is that I've broken down my muscles too much, when I really should have only stimulated them so my body wouldn't eat them. Is it possible I've just been breaking them down and absorbing them , thus, making my muscles the source of my pound loss? Is it possible I have a parasite or something keeping my gut on?

I'm certainly slimmer than when I started, but I'm wondering if I've fucked things up royally. I've tried ice baths, warm baths, cold showers, heavy stretching: nothing seems to shake the fatigue.

What do /fast/? I just want to be beautiful.

Had an ass leak at work.
Luckily I was in my office where I keep an extra pair of pants.

Any ideas as to why?

Been doing fasting for a month now. 24 hours with 1 controlled meal(about 700-1000 calories) and lost 20+ pounds in one month. I no longer feel like a fat lard and I have been feeling much more active than before. No more cravings and no more sugar for me.

take a break from fasting and get back on the horse when you feel ready. No reason to risk hurting yourself just to reach your goals slightly quicker. Your body can recycle cells for things like protein but there are limits to that and dietary protein will eventually become necessary again, especially with resistance training during a fast. You're gonna make it user, even if it happens a couple weeks later than you wanted

So would that be 24/24 cycle or what?

What the fuck am I doing wrong?

01 - 14th I lost 4.6kg/10lb
14th - 21st I lost 1.2kg/2.6lb
21st - 28th I lost 0.5kg/1.1lb

I started going back to the gym on the second week, two hours of weight machines, cardio and cables, fitbit claims I'm still burning over 4000 calories a day, even upped my number of sets and attended exercise classes to push myself a little further. Current weight is 138.6 kg. Don't sleep eat, don't have any drink beside water or green tea. (Peppermint tea too).

Moreso, I bought a pack of keto strips and in the first two weeks I got a rainbow of colors, but for the last week it has been consistently negative.

Isn't the whole "losing significant lean body mass as well as fat while under x amount of calories" a meme?

Eat

Should I do a water fast or an OMAD protein sparing fast? I don't want to lose what little muscle I have, but I am impatient.

She cute
Well done user keep going

What is a protein sparing meal for OMAD? High protein?

Should I continue taking creatine while fasting?

Whenever I take a sip of snake juice I get a weird sensation in my head. Is this normal? What could this be?

A minimal amount of protein. For example, 300g of lean meat.

(;ﾟДﾟ)封印されしもの!

I failed at 76 hours yesterday but now I'm back at it. 23 hours in and I'm already back in ketosis.

>taking creatine on empty stomach
oh boy

How long fast?
What you drinking?
Are you lifting?

Dw, thats just Cole's spirit willing you on.

5 day fast with snake juice. I'm still gonna lift, at least as well as I can fasting. Might try some more bodyweight stuff.

I'm making this one week after I've broken the fast
youtube.com/watch?v=PfFOqclLPas

I was thinking of doing a 24 hour water fast for 1 day on the weekend and then next weekend do 48 hour. Throughout the week I would still keep eating about 3000 kcals and train 4-5days a week with cardio sessions. Yay or nay? I only want to do it for brain benefits for hippocampus and neural growth w/ extra synapses.

I'm worried one of potassium is some fake neurotoxin shit. This is weird.

Nice larp
no one as fat as you fasts for a week and loses just one kilo or less.

Joke's on you, those ebony hands nuked my appetite.

40 days? Who the hell do you think you are, Ganhdi? If you don't eat for 7 days you will die of starvation. I'm 5 feet 10, 110kg so I should know.

Yikes! How to spot an American

Day 16
Height: 176cm / 5'9
Starting: 103.5kg / 228lbs
Current: 92.3kg / 203.4lbs

Sure is nice here without the ATTENTION WHORE spamming these threads.

Just so you know, Monster Ultra 0 or Diet sodas have no effect on ketosis or fasting. They make you a bit hungrier, but they do nothing to fat loss

OMAD is for diabetics or lean people. Mostly to maintain weight. You could use it to build willpower for a bit, but i'd actually just jump into a 3 day fast right from the start

I'm vegetarian lol

Hey kid, it's your lack of discipline! You can't see past these CAPS? That's on you. Little punks like you wouldn't last a day at base camp!

Not who you replied to but I'm doing ADF. It works out to be more like 36/12. Let's say you start fasting 8pm on Monday. Tuesday you fast. Wednesday you break the fast at 8am. So you fasted for 4 hours Monday + 24 hours Tuesday + 8 hours Wednesday = 36 hours.

I have you covered

how long does it take people to go from 23-24% bf down to shredded with snek juice fasting if they have small ottermode amounts of muscle underneath the lard? 2.5 weeks? assuming they lift low volume moderate-to-high intensity three times a week

2 months with water fasting

Kek ok you got me, now im craving some raccoon

2lbs fat = 7000kcal
average male has a BMR of 2000. Do the math.

I lift heavy 3x a week and still have some progress to be made before switching routines. I'm a fat fuck (around 30% BF) and I want to become lean without losing strength. Is there a way to incorporate fasting without stopping my progress or will I have to accept the muscle loss/strength plateau until I finish my long cut?

You lift to give the muscles a reason to stay. Just do full body workouts. You're probably not going to get any PR's but you can still lift. I deadlift, squat, or row (cardio) every day of the week and I don't appear to have lost much muscle mass if any

...

>accept the muscle loss/strength plateau

either embrace bloatmaxing or unfatass yourself then focus on building your adonis body

So I am 3 days into my current fast it was really easy for me didnt really feel any hunger first 2 days, but my problem is that I left all off the electrolytes and shit at my other place and I havent really gotten any salt this fast and I feel like I pissed them off
Should I eat now, or wait till maybe tomorrow to go pick the supplements up? Am I just being a little bitch?
Keep in mind I have done a 21 day fast before

Attached: 1548476863407.jpg (640x931, 43K)

Had a couple cheat days, but I'm down 20lbs ytd from 185. Looking to get to 155

you'll survive another day, i say wait

>I want to become lean without losing strength
I did two 5 days SJ fasts, these were my results:

went from 94 kg to 88 (but some of it was water, I estimate about 4kg pure fat loss)
184cm for reference
Kept lifting thru, and kept all my lifts, not impressive but decent: 2 plate bench, 4 plate deads

Losing muscle on a fast is a fucking meme, at least if you're above 10%bf, I tried the CICO method before and lost more strength than weight, I won't cut by reducing calories anytime soon, and I just had a refeed week and am starting a new fasting week and will keep doing that until visible bottom abs

Are you liftint/doing cardio?

>Wet fasting

>Using creatine

Is there anything here that would interfere? First days of water fasting is losing water weight, right? And creatine makes you retain water, right? Is there a way I can mess something up?

Don't fast without water you absolute fucking morons

>Lifting on a fast
Shit, I can barely keep up with it with a shit ton of rice+oats. Is it just a mental thing? Were you able to lift the same without eating?

Delectable. There goes day 2 of my water fast.

Yup
Kept it heavy, low reps (God's approved 3x5), higher rep ranges require more glycogen so I didn't bother with those

Cut back a bit on accessories though, was in the gym for 1hr 4 days a week, obviously didn't do cardio at the gym but walked back home for about a 3km walk every day

stop swallowing cum.
my girlfriend lost 5 pounds after she become a spitter.
Or start doing a real fast of 72+ hours, supplement with hot sauce. Releases endorphins, provides minerals and keeps capillaries open/ reduces inflammation.

The first 2-3 days are the worst
After that, it's pure boredom

>fat fuck once again cannot make an intelligent compromise.
You body wants equilibrium. Loosing the fat is more important. It will boost your mental and physical abilities. You will detoxify and have less stress on your joints. You will be more mentally clear with the positive feedback loop of dramatic weight loss.
Your squat will go up even if you are not actually stronger because you're lifting metal now and not your lard ass.
Your internal organs are just as important as skeletal muscles. Loose the weight fatty.

Okay, I saw the yelling guy video before this thread. Mixed the acv with my snake juice.

Is this dangerous or is it that it just tastes so bad?

It’s god awful, lesson learned.
But should I not drink this batch for any reasons other than the taste?
