First day of dry fasting. The beginning is kinda hard, especially the no water thing. I didn‘t eat like a pig so it‘s all good. Still feel kinda a little bit gorged, but I guess that‘s normal.

i fucking hate my life

Why?

No fasting allowed today, it's International No Diet Day.

I had been doing OMAD for months but it is getting harder, my father is a baker and my sister sells cakes and there is always chocolate in the house. These last days I have eaten a lot of sugar and it makes my body ache.

user..who doesn't?

i havent achieved anything in life

Me neither. So what?

>>Falling for the jew "International X day" bs

If you get in to ketosis before the fast by eating very low carb for a week before, the first days will be easier when you don't crave carbs. Also autophagy and other benefits will start earlier because you don't have to wait to deplet your glycogen stores during the beginning of the fast.

Fasting would be even easier if you we're fat adapted (few weeks or months of keto).

Don't do the pills, the capsule lining fucks your stomach,and some people say it gives them ulcers
I make a big mix of potassium and baking soda and knock back a quarter teaspoon every time I finish my bottle of water. I know snake juice tastes like shit but you do need the potassium

The consensus is that:

1. Yes, it breaks fast because it has calories
2. It doesn't break fast for very long
3. The benefits of lemon juice/vinegar outweigh the slight fast break
But it's ultimately up to you. Personally, I just wait until refeed day to drink acv and lemon juice so I don't have to break my fast

OP Is wrong, you should take a multivitamin.

Fuck im so hungry I can't even sleep. What can I do?

Yes is totally possible, I've been water fasting 96 hours per week since the 1st of March, started at 253lbs and I'm 197lbs now. The days I eat, I just OMAD with Protein and so much veggies (trying to get between 1000-1200 cals in those meals), also taking multivitamin the days I eat and refilling with electrolytes (Gatorades/electrolyte rich juices) since is not possible to get the ingredients for the Snake juice where I live and the juices have calories in them. If I don't fuck it up, I'd probably get my GW for July at 154lbs.

jerk off

Drink water. How many days are you in?

>>Potassium chloride =1 tsp (No Salt)
>>Sodium chloride = 1/2 tsp (Himalayan Pink Salt)
>>Sodium Bicarbonate = 1 tsp (Baking Soda)
Please tell me only these are needed
>>Magnesium Sulphate = 1/2 tsp (Food Grade Epsom Salts)
I hear often that this one is going to make you shart badly a lot, I'm not a neet anymore so I can't afford to go through this outside home

The magnesium is totally optional

SS+fast guy here
I told an user I'd try it out so here I am reporting back
I fasted on Sunday, refeed and next workout was today
Did 3x5 squats without a problem, then 3x5/3/3 OHP felt really bad
I didn't really have any decent carb sources today though so I'm hoping that was the problem (had muesli+some oats, otherwise eat 500g cooked rice)
Gonna report back after my next workout on Wednesday

Good to know, thanks

my breath smells like fucking shit

Pic related is 6 months of 18:6 IF. Cut out all sugary and fried foods, eat at a 500-800 deficit every day.

How did you even get so fat when you have no mouth?

what the fuck? intermittent fasting makes you go blind and deaf and loose your nose?

We can still tell you're Asian, Slenderman

Holy shit Im never fasting again this is terrifying

wait a minute..... cole never covered this type of side effects
fuck fasting im out

can you drink water on a snakejuice fast? snakeman's video in the FAQ in the OP says not to drink water on a fast but I assume that's in reference to a water only fast and it's fine to drink water in addition to snake juice?

Ok this is 13 hours more than i originally planned, if it stops raining i’ll go for some tuna and avocado

So achieve something, you lazy fucks.

how you fucking nigger
im in college and there arent any part time jobs available now

Its better to not drink plain water as it'll leach salts via osmosis.
But you can if you really need to

Is there an alternative to gatorade and snake juice? Like just electrolyte pills? Snake juice tastes like shit.

Gatoraid isnt allowed. The alternative is just dont take in the salts and get a headache.

Can I just take something like this amazon.com/SaltStick-Vitassium-Buffered-Electrolyte-Capsules instead of dealing with Snake Juice?

2 a days and fasting?

Getting close to omad and wondering if this would yield good results

>last meal around dinner time somewhere @ 5-7pm
>HIIT @ 16 hours+ fasted.
>heavy lifting after meal

What’s the best way to remove bloat?

I fucked it all up a few days ago and cheated. Now I’m 10 pounds heavier and have a ballooned stomach. I’ve taken a triple laxative cocktail, but other than that what should I do?

am i in ketosis?

>I’ve taken a triple laxative cocktail
Why the fuck would you do this? You cheated, you fucked up, give it time and start doing the right thing and eventually you'll undo the damage.

I think I'll fast for 24 h after 2 months of not doing it since sleeping and waking up earlier made me hungrier in the morning
Wish me luck bois

I look insanely fucked up tho and can’t look at myself while I’m like this

Before you say anything, yes I’m working on seeing a specialist for an ED. I just know once this bloat is gone I can eat like normal again.

did a 30 day fast a while back, went from 103.5kg to 85kg during fast, stabilized at 90kg after refeed, stayed there for a few months, ballooned back up to 94kg during easter, think i'll do another 30 days, see if i can get to around 80kg

>International No Diet Day

I googled this and read the wiki entry to my wife. She groaned.

try adding some mio to it

go do a thru hike user.

where did you get that coozie

Can someone give me the quick rundown on fasting and hair loss? is it real?

Family member did a hard cut, not a fast.
Lost a lot of her hair, it’s now 4 years later and it hasn’t fully thickened up again.

Been on 1000kcal omad for 3 months and my hair is even thicker.

its real but for some people, as any of the side effects.
they are many but only some will affect to you and you only, you can get NO side effects as well

im 180 how long will it take to fast till i kill myself?

How the fuck do you guys handle cases like this? I let my autism flare up hard today.

broke my damn fast

normal dry fast then? jesus i cant imagine being this much of a retard

I hope this is bait. Dry fast means no drinking water. You think it means no contact whatsoever? You got memed hard. Wash your hands you fucking retard.

What the fuck, you guys told me that's how a dry fast works. No showers or brushing teeth either.

do you even do your fucking research?
theres HARD DRY and NORMAL dry
hard dry is a meme tho i did it for 24 hours and its the same result as anormal dry

Can anyone answer my question here: ?

But water can absorbed through the holes in your skin right? One of the reasons I'm doing a dry fast is to help with loose skin, so getting it wet wouldn't it defeat the purpose?

>prolonged
>72
no niggger you wont pass out
i do OMAW AND workout and i DONT drink any gay shit
besides you are prob 200 lbs

do what ever the fuck you want bro

If you don't have abnormally high insulin levels, not allowing energy to be pulled from your fat cells, then you should be good. Evidence of this would be very strong lethargy and trouble finding the energy to do much.

Unless there are other factors, like you have long-standing a nutrient deficiency or have recently lost a lot of blood.

You're just washing your hands, not taking a bath.

>besides you are prob 200 lbs
Nope. Last time I checked I was 170. It was last wednesday.

Thank you for the input.

I dunno dude... if you get water in through your hands, doesn't it go everywhere anyway? Like if you drink water it doesn't just stay in your stomach lol

>170
unless you are 6 foot and weight 130 you are good to go
just drink you fucking salt water goddammit

Not the wisest move to do a hard dry fast when you have to go out and about and be a reasonable human. Do a hard dry fast when you can take several days to yourself.

you have loose skin on your hands

This fucking retarded thought that dry fasting was no contact with water at all I'm fucking dying lmao my sides

Attached: 1427127827295.gif (250x188, 910K)

He's not wrong. No water contact is a hard dry fast. A fast that prohibits liquid consumption but allows for water contact is a soft dry fast.

>tfw Cole is breakfast pilled

based

>beds are a jew psy op
so cole lost it AGAIN

I hit a pretty casual lmao3plate bench tonight while 22 hours fasted tonight, I am categorically rejecting the breakfast pill. Might do ~10g grams of carbs pre-workout ala TKD if I start failing daily maxes, but so far so good. I've done some blood tests before, my blood sugar rises to just under 100 burger units when I get my heart rate up from exercise - I hear that's a common athletic phenotype, good for performance.

Gonna do a 72 later this week and take pictures/measurements to see if I can get away with doing them sub 10% bodyfat, will poast results.

Guys we need to stop with the dry fasting meme. Kids are starting to believe it, this is Crystals 2.0

Limited dry fasting isn't really a huge deal. It's the retards actually drinking urine or putting it in their eyes and shit.

Does l-citruline/l-arginine help at all on a fast? I used it before when lifting, but not sure if it applies now.

I need to make my fasting gains work as quickly as possible. I am very experienced with fasting, so my body can handle the toll it will take. How can I maximize the weight loss effects? Unfortunately, the one constraint is that I cannot incorporate dry fasting at the beginning. We're talking over the next 5 days or so. I will continue fasting at a more reasonable pace after that but I need this first few days to really kick ass.

What do /fast/?

>fasting gains work as quickly as possible
What does this mean? Weight loss?

Be more active.

Basic "I want everything and I want it now guy". Just don't eat bro.

Motivation is definitely more vain than normal. Seeing my girl for the first time in a few months in a few days. I'd like to look as thin as I can so yeah just weight loss and becoming a skinnier bitch

This is exactly the kind of shit that makes people think that somebody is subhuman, or people doing fitness are retarded.
Just wash your fucking hand, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, but don't leave it like that, or let anyone catch you.

Sorry man, no magic here. You should know that if you are an experienced faster. The best you can do is not eat for as long as you can, re-feed, then rinse and repeat. Do plenty of cardio.

And you know, not being an autist when you see her and not refusing a dinner might help.

It's a greentext story that involves someone getting caught by their boss with smegma on their hands.

It's 5000% bullshit. Who the fuck even pisses on their fingers?

Spend your Ramadan doing keto bros your future self will thank you for it.

Is the himalayan pink salt shit really necessary?

It is the purest source of Sodium chloride so it is recommended, but no it is not absolutely necessary, any sodium chloride will do.
