/fast/ - #394 - Pre-Lent edition

You'll pee it out. Do you have a deadline? What is your goal BF%?

I’m between 25 and 30 percent, goal is to be below 18 by the end of April

I’m guessing then my weight would have to be 150

Are you very short? That's a low weight and a high BF to be at.

Also my gut gets cartoonishly large when I retain any water. Even my face appears kinda bloated.

I’m 5’10 with zero muscle. My ribs are visible and I look like I’m out of the holocaust from the nipples up (Minus my face, no visible cheekbones) but my lower half looks like jabba

Does a bullion cube mixed in warm water break your fast?

Yes. Protein and fat.

Just finishing up day 1 of my first water fast. If I bite my cheek or lips and swallow the skin, is that a bad thing? Or what about if I swallow my mucus?

How are you calculating your Bodyfat? There should be no way you're 25% with that weight and height.

Measuring tape, and eyeballing it honestly.

This was me at 185.

Yikes. That does look rough. Fast if you want, but you're at a weight where you might be better served doing weight training instead.

Why can’t I do both?

Here’s a pic from a couple minutes ago btw. I’m coming off 330lbs so some is loose skin, but I just want abs damn it

cheers for that. ended up going to woolies and found something called "lite salt" which is 66% potassium and 33% sodium. got some pink salt too which ill mix together to get it back up to 1:1

Making a list of things to look forward to everyday to help stay on track with fast, so far only have fat kino with /tv/ on Wednesday nights. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also can I egg fast and lift?

learn an instrument. Ukeleles are faggy as fuck but theyre also cheap and its easy to pick up 3 or 4 chords and get basic white girl panties wet with them

Can I ease my way into snake fasting with eating only eggs, then only diet drinks, then snake juice? I can’t fast regularly, it’s too much of a shock to my body. It’s especially hard since I binged and fucked my ketosis today.

I play piano at a fairly above average level but got and bored of that (been playing for 18 years), want to learn to produce music but I wiped my fl studios from my computer and can't find a good torrent to get it back. Also I already know basic guitar (ukelele by extension I assume) and I have no interest in that, rather just learn more piano at that point.

That said, what are some other cool hobbies. I bought some shitty Lego knock off bricks from dollar store but that's more for thereputic reasons than a hobby, maybe put a couple bricks down to keep me on track. /Blog

Hey I used to fall into that cycle in your image, I still being in between fasts sometimes, but I no longer fail fasts in general. The key is to just break through. I know you want to work your way to it, but you just gotta do it man. If you can get to 3 days, your entire perspective on things will begin to shift. 5 days and you can kiss sugar cravings goodbye (at least for me). And no only are they gone when I'm in keto, but just in general, I no longer have any desire to eat sugary snacks.

Can I just egg fast my way into ketosis (probably 8 eggs a day for a week) so that the fast is easier from the start?

Oh and one last measure to stay on track. I have marked my calendar and will mark off eveey day, will probably add my weigh in why not.

The first 3 days are the hardest, after that I have no doubt I will hit my goals.

based and musicianpilled. make us a fasting jazz album. other than that maybe some arts and crafts? JoAnns or whatever the craft store in your area should have knitting supplies. Shit, you don't even need that. A pencil, some paper, and an hour or two will yield some serious drawings.

Yeah you could. Once you're in ketosis you will feel way less hungry.

anyone else gonna try a full 40 day fast for lent?

Do you believe fasting makes someone less or more creative? I usually don't have sexual dreams but I had one the other night where I unknowingly fucked a tranny and when I found out I was so disgusted I murdered it, and the only feeling I had was that of breaking fast but in my sleep. I think I attribute that to being more creative but I dunno

I'm doing 20 day fast, 3 days refeed, 20 days, so I started 3 days early. I'm just a bit scared to go 40 straight is all. I'm 248 now, I wonder if after 40 days I will be down to close to 200.

In my experience, when I've been fasting for 24hrs your brain tends to get into a "Clear" state. I play guitar on and off and I could start feeling different ideas flowing in my head. My longest fast was 3 days and in that time I had more musical ideas come to me then than ever before.

Suppose the only way to figure out is to try :)

My main hobbies are playing cod and counterstrike at very high levels (played with some pros in cod today and managed to actually keep up). When I fast I play like absolute dogshit.

So maybe where my concentration and skill lack, my creativity will flow. Never tried being creative on fast. I will say watching shows like Lost got me more emotional than usual

Post your music :)

you just gave me an idea
im gonna make a list of things to look forward to at goal line.
as for weekly fun times, your list has to be tailored to you i guess. go play some counter strike and get to Global Elite lol

I lost 10kg since decembre down to 91kg with 24h and 48h fasts. This weekend i managed to put on my suit trousers easily whereas i couldn't anymore before. Thèse are some good feels.

havent been 190 since 4th grade,hit it today. started dieting dec 22. prolonged.24s,48s,72s low carb,extra chicken for NGG. started 240 510'

New here. I thought long term fasting was bad because it creates chronic cortisol in the body?

Day 4 of my fast. Nothing but water and black tea so far. I swear my body hasn't lost any weight. Maybe I need to step up to dry fasting? Thoughts?

Caffiene fucked up my weight loss on my last fast. So maybe cut the coffee. On day 3 of the fast I drank 2 litres of coke zero and pissed it all out. The next morning I had gained 4 ounces. In 24 hours of fast I gained almost half a pound, pretty sure it was from caffiene.

Oh fuck, I've also done some EC stack. Is that not recommended?

Caffeine can break your fast, hard.

Drugs at all is a bad idea on a fast.

How is black coffee okay then?

>$11
>$32 shipping
I hate living here

It's not.

Pretty much everything that isn't fresh produce is easy to get through ebay, try that.

/diy/

can fasting help with my lower back pain

Why is a bullion cube not okay if you eat 5 calories of your own mouth lining daily

>muh holocaust

That's a very unspecific question.
I'd say probably not since the cause is likely high muscle tone due to posture problems/too much sitting... did you try lower back stretches?

Starting my first fast today, bros. Wish me luck.

I want to but I’m too light now. That would put me at under an 18 BMI and my lifts are starting to take a pretty good hit since I fasted away 30lbs. Good luck user.

I'll be there with you, brother.

gonna try.

Does it make the most sense to start your fast on a lifting day?
I plan to eat a deficit of mostly protein and some greens to "de-carb" 2 days in advance, but I am not sure if my last meal should be after I lift to prevent unnecessary muscle atrophy.

OMAD worked great for me before but then i got depression gained weight and i haven't done it again since i started going to my new college

im not depressed anymore but i gota lose 10 kg, i set an alarm to have my OMAD always at 5:00 and another one to do cardio every moring, i know if i can keep this up for one or 2 week my body should just get used to it again and i'll start doing it naturally again

>dry fast + 2 hours of cardio

Did Cole finally lost it?

I'm about to end an impromptu 48 hour fast I undertook to break a fever. What should I eat that won't make me feel too nauseous?

spinach salad and some scrambled egg is goat for breaking fast

does anyone here not look disgusting after a fasting cut?
everyone i ever see in these threads has lots of flabby loose skin on them, even though i respect anyone who loses weight it just looks bad
i only need to lose about 25-35lbs but now im getting worried that i will get any loose skin like that

everyone I saw had no problems with loose skin

Unless you go really slow, the speed of your weightloss does not the influence the amount of loose skin

48 hours is nothing. Eat whatever, ir do as the other user says and eat eggs n spinach. Beef broth and carb-free protein shake is a choice as well.

Can high cortisol increase the feeling of stress? Because I tend to stress eat.

I keep hearing conflicting answers, do artificial sweeteners from sips or diet soda trigger an insulin response?

Met up with a friend who I haven’t seen for awhile and they legitimately thought I had gastric bypass or something done. Thanks, /fast/

Even heroes need vacations, user

Even if the glycemic index of a sweetener is low or zero the artificial sweetness combined with a flavor can trigger an insulin response. Problem is glycemic index is just tested with the isolated sweetener, not an actual diet coke, so there isn’t data. Insulin response is also harder to test for so glycemic index is used as an analog for insulin response which is imperfect.

Thing is, do you want to risk it? Just have green tea or black coffee, go without soda for a couple months, you’re already doing the same with food

how the fuck would going slow influence the amount of loose skin?

surely it would be going too fast

I'M SO FUCKING HUNGRY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

8.5 days in and i'm about to loose it. Fealing really fatigued and am thinking about food all the time.

disgusting...

New to fasting, real question, if I'm doing a 16 hour wet fast and 8 hours of healthy eating with 1 cheat meal a week, should I make sure that cheat meal is still within those 8 hours? Or is fasting 6 days a week and eating outside the window 1 day okay?

just have the cheat meal within that 8 hour period, theres no point breaking the schedule for no reason unless you literally are unable to eat during that period, which is unlikely

I’m f/177cm/59kg, so low bmi for my height. How long can I safely fast for ?

I’m interested in the mental benefits and autophagy, I’ve also recently been diagnosed with coeliacs disease and am interested to see if a long fast would be good for gut. I’ve done several 48 hour fasts without issue, and generally prefer the empty stomach feeling over feeling full of food.

Do you guys have any set meals for OMAD or do you just eat whatever?

Fair, I just start my fasting at 5pm and the gf doesnt usually get off u til 4:45 so I like to wait for her, but fuck that, the fast is more important

I will never understand the hype for in-n-out, its not even that good.

Me nigga

Is it safe to extend the last 2 days of OMAW into a dry fast? Because doing so should put me in overdrive fat burning mode right?

Thanks

Yes.
I always finish my fasts with dry fasts.

Don’t worry. We’re all gonna fucking make it bro

why does this recommend faggy hippy himalayan pink salt instead of standard iodized salt?

The trace mineral content.

This is me.
