I previously went from 240 pounds to 175 in about 3-4 months by basically starving myself and not eating a lot (though I did not fast).
I felt like shit and had symptons of very low electrolytes.

I fell off the wagon again and will try real fasting, this time with proper knowledge of electrolytes and other aspects. This shit (not eating) really fucking works.

Anyone else felt like OMAD isn't sustainable once you don't need to lose any more weight?

I loved OMAD, but after a month of it I definitely feel like my body is stressed and I feel really fatiqued and exhausted. I went back to 16:8 and feel a lot better now. I'll go back to it if I want to lose more weight at any point, though.

Im like 36 hours in or so. Probably gonna go another 24 since im going skiing all day tomorrow and have been lifting heavy past few days. What happened to all caps bro?

You'd really need to stuff yourself to maintain when at a low BF% with OMAD. Trying a traditional lunch and dinner schedule with no snacking would be worth trying. Get yourself on that schedule at I lends well to social eating with friends. If that's not enough, the good ol' breakfast lunch and dinner is good.

That basket ball is halfway up her ass.

It was actually ball the way in a few seconds before the picture. She's pushing it out and raising her whole body off the ground.

>It was actually ball
Fuck
It was actually all*

how the FUCK to get rid of salt mouth

Oh I get it.
I chuckled.

What the fuck is salt mouth?

31, just skating along

218-206 with OMAD and a 72 hour fast. 3 Weeks. not bad. please subscribe to my blog

I can drink water though, right? And I don't drink coffee anyway. What kills long fasts for me is that I cannot exercise and not eat afterwards.

Doesn't fasting kill your gains? I barely have any already.

I was 23.5hr in before I went to dinner with my wife now I'm shitting pure liquid. Like, can't-trust-a-fart mode. Is this normal when you come off a fast and don't break it with something like just soup? 23/24hr isn't even that long, I wasn't expecting this.

Getting easier.

After 15 days OMAD I've averaged 20 hour and 24 minute fasts between 2 hours and 38 minute feeding windows.

you should be doing 0 meals a day

How many people die from fasting in each edition ?

My guess would be none.
But who knows, maybe someone will come back and told us they died during the last thread.

none because no one is actually fasting, just look for any results picture

why are you so retarded

my guess 2 or 3 retards who dont do their homework

remember how old man fasted for a year with baking soda and then stopped lurking the moment someone exposed him

94 hours, going for 2 weeks or 30 days, haven't decided yet

Did my first 24 hour fast yesterday. Felt good. I want to do 48 with some snake juice this weekend.

Don't need to bother with the snake juice if it's just a 48. Plain water is good enough.

if you're eating a full meal then yeah, that probably happens to me like 1/3 of the time even if it's just 24 hours

you dont need sj, only drink it if you are aiming for 72s

Just broke my 48h fast in a long time with breakfast. Feels good.

Been doing 24 hr IF mixed with 72hr water/green tea fasts once a week for 2 months
Dropped 40 lbs
It's amazing how energetic and clear headed you feel once you get into pure fat burning mode.

>brakfast
been a while since i had one

On my first 72 hard dry. little under 20 hours to go.

jesus dude

Taking bets on whether I'll burn 20 kilos in the next 7 days.

Only about an hour in to my first >48 hour fast in about a year. I've been training hard, but my diet has been out of control for a few weeks. Using the fast as a chance to reset.

20 kg in one week? that's way too much bro, maybe 5-8 kgs

Even that would be absurd. He'd need to be slamming thru over 7000 calories a day even to hit 14 lbs. That's not even 7kg.

So im 3 days in right now. I've been doing intense cardio, outdoor climbing, and lifted a little today. Im feeling really fucking whiped out right now bros. Should I eat tonight or go one more night? I'm very lightheaded.

Have you been getting enough water/salt to replenish what you sweat out? Could be your main issue. Refilling those and some rest might get you back to baseline. Or could have something to eat if the snake juice doesn't help.

Make sure you're getting plenty of salt, water and electrolytes. Obviously you'd normally be getting some of that thru food and now you're not. This can really help with light-headedness.

You could go another night if you want to. It might be worth resting tomorrow, especially if you do hold the fast. Otherwise you can eat. It's up to you, but generally day 3+ is where it gets easy, so I think extending it is cool when it's feasible.

OK IM NOT EATING FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY

OH AND IM USING BAKING SODA FUK THE BAKING SODA AUTIST

I've come to enjoy the feeling of sudden hunger on day 1 to 3
it feels like i'm actually doing something

What's the best fasting app guys? I tried LIFE but thought it was pretty shit, what with having to hit a button to start the fast (like what? am I supposed to eat my last bite of food and quickly tap start? Lmao) and the interface for manually entering hours.

Been very hydrated the last 2 days but not as much today. Could be it. No snake juice though. Thanks Dawgs

If you're not drinking snake juice then your issues are certainly due to the lack of electrolytes. Drink some salt water.

I use my digital watch and a text file that I write in each morning.

>like what? am I supposed to eat my last bite of food and quickly tap start? Lmao
You can adjust the start time of the fast once it's going.

>like what? am I supposed to eat my last bite of food and quickly tap start? Lmao
>cell phone
>always in your pocket
>tapping start is hard

no misbehaving, this is a gentleman thread. shush.

just use sober time

It preserves them better than calorie restriction.

See

Just hit my first 24 hours

My chest literally hurts, I think I'm getting too fat, I have a boulder gut hanging off my torso. Will fasting save me from dying from a heart attack? I wanna be a healthy skeleton.

Start doing 16-8 RIGHT NOW and see if it makes you feel better, if it does go 20-4 or even 23-1, if you like that, try a 48 hour fast with some electrolytes, if you like that, try dry fasts or longer electrolyte water fasts, experimentation and patience won't kill you, you just need the initiative to start experimenting now

losing weight will make you feel better yes

I have tried short fasts many times in the past and I felt totally fine even though I didn't take any electrolytes. But last night I threw up what I assume was bile from its color and taste pretty much all night after just a 1 day fast.
Has this ever happened to anyone? Do you know what might have caused it?

Did you eat something weird before fasting, or are you perhaps sick? That sounds really strange. Only other thing I can think of is you started snake juice, but something you put in it doesn't agree with you. But being only one day in I doubt you were bothering with that yet.

Personally the only issues I have is refeeding goes right through me sometimes, so I honestly can't say if that's because of the fast.

Vomiting after 24 hours only? 24 hours is close to what average adults do when they're on a "skip breakfast, only eat lunch and dinner" meal plan when it turns out they have to work thru and skip a lunch. They don't go barfing during that.

You may have some other issue causing this. But I would attempt to solve that issue and put the fast on hold right now.

your chest hurts from different reason than heart.

I didn't eat anything strange before my fast and I only drank water on it.
I don't think I'm sick, but I suffer from constipation and I read it might have something to do with that.
It was actually about 35 hours, but I've done longer fasts without feeling that sick

I'm utterly obese, I'm certain my fat is squeezing my organs everywhere. Got a clean bill of health otherwise at my last checkup, blood pressure was 110/90 or something, not bad for a 6ft 120kg lardass with a 50" gut. I'm 55 kilos overweight, I need to be 65kg, just fuck.

you certainly need to lose weight but your chest hurts from different reason than heart. Trust me bro (source me)

reminder if you are a NEET you should be working out a minimum of 8 hours a day while fasted. your job is to lose weight. go walk a marathon

If I could just walk around in a nice scenic mountain place or jump around buildings like I'm in Assassin's Creed, I'd do that. That's fun. Biking or working the treadmill is boring as fuck.

not an argument

weight loss isnt fun

you could lose like 120lbs in 2 months if you really wanted it. 8 hours of walking 6 hours on a bike. that's 3lbs of pure fat easy a day and not even including your BMR

you don't want it that bad is all im hearing

What if you're a skinny NEET?

how to deal with chafing? i'm not even that fat but my inner thighs still chafe.
are ultralong boxer-briefs the answer

This should be in the sticky as a god tier example of a cope. You don't have to go exercise for 18 hours and sleep 6 hours but if you aren't working and you aren't spending at LEAST 6 hours of your day doing walking or riding a stationary bike, you are wasting your fucking time.

What are you doing in those 18 hours you aren't sleeping? Shitposting on Jow Forums? Fapping? Watching anime. Get your priorities straight.

have you tried compression leggings?
>will you look like a faggot
yes
>will it help the chafing
yes

combine with vaseline to eliminate
once you are skelly mode you wont have to worry about it anymore, even if you are only 10-20lbs overweight you'll still chafe if your genetics make you prone to extra fat on your thighs

podcasts nigga
just MOVE YOUR BODY

this is why you guys arent making it

Im riding my bicycle to work, 10km. Should I do it while fasting? Wont it have negative effects on muscle mass?

I just got blinded by hunger, one minute I was fasting and the next walking around my house and eating everything and ordering food.
Just ate one Snickers, one large thin crust pizza, a packet of chips, some ice cream, cornflakes and some kebab thing. And I'm still not feeling full.

You didnt get blinded, you are just weak

36 hours fasted now. Don't really feel any more hungry than I did 24 hour ago wtf. Guess i'll just keep on going then? How long is optimal.. don't wanna go too long because I havn't done weight training since tuesday

Checked

46
I'm going for as long as I can, each day is a victory. If I ever get urges I just sit in front of some food until it goes away.

I would say 4 days is best if you are going to workout right after it, but you can both workout and fast.
