/fast/ #460 - goodnight sleep edition

Did you chugg too much at once?

Possibly, do you have to take it easy when drinking water while fasting?

you mean snake juice right?
Your not just drinking water like an idiot right?

I thought that was only need if you plan to go over 3 days, so yes I am drinking just plain water.

I'm going to do it, but I want something to read about it. All I have is how people feel.

Also, I am thinking about doing more than one day dry fasting. My goal was three days, but now idk if I should just limit to one or two.

>after 24 hours you body starts to make its own water from fat
Sounds inefficient. Fat is only 10% water while muscle is something like 75% water. Not saying you're wrong, just is a bit surprising.

I drank some ACV+LJ before a meal to help my digestion and I drank it through a straw to avoid contact with the teeth but I think it burned my throat a bit at a spot.
You are going to feel like shit. If you lift, do so even more conservatively, don't even get to the point where you break a sweat. If you get past day one you're going to feel better (no personal experience here, I fucked up by lifting too much once and I've been pussying out since)
While Cole says to hell with science and just throws shit to the wall and sees if it sticks, some prefer the studies. DeLauer has some vids I think, you might be able to find some sources there

Don't smoke weed

It definitely won't hurt fat loss. Most people wouldn't consider it breaking a fast.

Go off of how it feels for you. I avoid caffeine when fasting because it dramatically ramps up hunger pains when my blood sugar goes down a few hours after consumption.

Went down from 232 to 210 in about a month /fast/. Feels good but i need to get down to 180. Lowest ive ever been was 189.

What is the matter with you guys. I swear im the only in /fast/ who does IF. are you guys just about to hit 8 percent bodyfat or something is that why you do these?

They're fat asses who want to drop a lot of weight quickly without working out.

But working out contributes little to weightloss (alone vs fasting alone) and you can still work out while fasting.
I started with IF a bit at first but decided to bite the bullet and start extended fasting. I've since been doing them longer and more often but I do plan to start OMAD once I get lean enough, eating at or slightly below maintenance.
When I start bulking though I am going to need to switch to IF if not ditch fasting altogether. I'll probably try DeLauer's method as well as Cole's

when should one stop doing long fasts?

15% bf? 13%?

fast until you are ripped!
if you feel too thin and you are starving you can always just take the trip to macdonald to gain some of that fat beck

>tfw 48 hour dry fast nearly done
>Snake Juice coming next

I hate the low energy but at least the juice will keep me alive.

Just started as well, brother. About 30 hours into a snake juice fast. Gonna try for at least 96 hours. It's been pretty great so far.

make me not faggot

I have a bit of an odd situation right and i want to start intermediate fasting since i'm developing quite a bit of belly fat. (16\8 ideally)

Basically till august i'm working in physical labor, very high water intake in general with tea/coffee without any sweetners. Question is if i should be eating during morning/early noon or afternoon/evening?

Do you guys get headache when water fasting?
How do you avoid headeaches while fasting?

fuuuuuuuuuuck how do i learn to be disciplineddddddd

I have a question i haven't really found the answer to watching coal.

I'm a beginner who wants to use the snake diet for weight loss and health. I'm 5'11 and 230 pounds.

How should I fit my fasting around my lifting to still make strength gains?

From watching coal if your fasting it appears better to eat in the morning especially if your gonna be doing manual labour

Are you drinking your snake juice?

Cole says that you should be drinking snake juice regardless of the length of your fasts as just water fasts don't have as many benefits

Cold brew green tea is great on a fast if you're doing it for weight loss.

Difference between cold and regular brew?

I get it with coffee, are there similar pros to it with tea?

summer is upon us. time to make some mahfuckin' cold brew coffee.
upvote if you agree

can i do cardio during dry fasting

This article by explains it pretty well.

You'll be able to tell because fasting will become harder and harder. The point is to eat as rarely as possible. If you can eat once a month, do that. If you can eat once a week, do that. If fasting more than 3 days makes you feel like shit, don't fast for more.

i just ignored a kid with a lemonade stand so he wouldn't steal my gains
neighborly social cohesion be damned

I was trying intermittent fasting for about a week, 20h fast, 4h feed. The problem that I kept running into were some pretty severe headaches. Decided to stop. Can anyone give me some tips to get rid of fasting headaches?

How does fasting work for someone who's skinnyfat, but is lifting 3/4 times a week? Do I just not eat on my days off and only eat on the days I workout?

yes

What kind of foods are you eating and how much fluid do you drink?

experiment with yourself and see what works for you

Not recommended. You gotta be careful. If you exert yourself too much you could really fuck yourself up. Dehydration/dry fasting is super stressful on your body so you piling cardio is asking for trouble.

that's how dehydration kills people
it's usually not prolonged periods of no water, it's when you lose a ton of water in a short period due to sweating/sickness/etc and your body can't adapt fast enough to keep working

This, fuck weed and.summer. my cut been fucked by the weed hunger, winter seems like cutting season cuz it's so cold and depressing that it make u not wanna eat

My forearm feels suddenly tight and the 48 hour dry isn't done yet.

First 30 hours down, want to make it past 72 hours and then keep going

Don't fast if you're skinnyfat, until January then start experimenting with fasts

>fasting it appears better to eat in the morning especially if your gonna be doing manual labour

Falls in line with the general "eat a big healthy breakfast" routine.

Will try to get a over to a simple 6am filler breakfast with coffee and a bigger lunch/late mornig meal at 10-12~ish.

Doing my first water fast for 3 days, anything I should do to prepare? Ive done IF consistently for the past year so Im pretty acclimated. Also can I work out during the fast, and drink multivitamins?

updating my weight loss: weighed in at 236 this morning, after work i weigh 234

honestly just try it for a day, if you feel fine keep going for 48.

Dude wtf literally at the exact same numbers and time as you not lying even down to 189 being my lowest. How tall are you and age?

I'm a cart pusher at walmart, I fasted 2 days, at the end of the second day I literally couldn't walk (You walk ~13 miles a day doing that job) probably because of electrolyte deficiency/ vitamin D and calcium. If I drink snake juice, take D3/calcium and supplement with magnesium will I be fine? I did that but today I felt it coming on and just ate some stuff because being able to do my job is more important than another 1000 calories in my deficit...

About halfway through have a pinch of pink salt with a glass of water. You literally have about a pinch, if you want to visualize it imagine 1/8th of a teaspoon, maybe even a bit less.

I do the same and I feel better in about 20 minutes. You use any more salt than that and you will get the shits.

did this qt die?

anyone has any stories with parasites during fasting?

My results after two months of trying to stay on omad and throwing in some 48h fasts from time to time. 83-71 kg.

Looks healthier than a vegan

>no posts for 1 year after this

Hey bros, i've done two 7day water fasts before, but know i have a fucked up work schedule and i don't manage to get work done through the first three days with all the boredom and overall misery. How can i adopt a "fuck it" mindset and just get on with it ?

now***

Nice work

fasting is literally impossible unless you are either unemployed or work a job where you are sedentary for 90% of the day

i do 3d modelling. It's hard as fuck. I try to stave my hunger with cigarettes, but it works until i reach the 5th cig, then, all hell breaks loose.

Anyone have experience with urine?

Been reading about it a little after snake man praised it.
Rubbed some on my face this morning and took a sip.
Figure i might as well try it

do it
not because it's better just so I know that some idiot actually does it

Having never done longer than a 12 hour water fast before, how dangerous would a 48 hour one be? I'm taking some appetite suppressants and going to drink copious amounts of water.

You shouldn't worry about 48 hours. Just do it.

I'm going to because I need to look fucking ripped to mog weebs at anime expo, I just wanted to know if there were any extra steps I should take for that duration.

Hey guys I'm a little concerned for my ability to tell if I am full or not.
I've been fasting for 3 days on 1 day off for the last 6 weeks and now, regardless of how much food I've eaten, I feel intensely full all the time.
I am pretty extremely overweight (38.1 BMI) but at this point I feel like I am actually incapable of eating comfortably, it's like a chore now.
wtf?

Does chewing sugar free gum break a fast?

woke up this morning, took a shit, 233. however it was liquid shit and it's been 3 more days so it's time to have a meal.

I'm on day 2 going on day 3. Does anyone know what those ICE waters are? They are zero sugar/zero calories, but I had 20 of them yesterday. Anyway, I'm still going to be in ketosis so it doesn't matter. I'm having my last cup of coffee and then it's SJ all the way.

I can't upload pics here through mobile network, so

anonfile.com/v8Qaodxfn0/dfa_jpg

Pic is me. The left was actually sometime last year, before December. I didn't lose weight through fasting though, it was actually DNP, but that was before I knew about fasting and wanted to live a very healthy lifestyle. The right picture is me after gaining all my weight back. I look similar to that picture now. I'm at 204Ibs.

My goal weight is 150Ibs. Could I get there in 2 months of fasting? And what do you all think about my weight at 184? I did see some loose skin, but I was still clearly fat. Maybe it isn't really loose skin after all.

I'm going for the big one, boys. Eating my final meal just now and will be fasting for the entire month of July.
Wish me luck.

Don't know if you'll break it but you still shouldn't do it. Cole says not to and in one fasting experiment they had to stop giving the patients gum because people just chewed it when they were hungry. Go cold turkey, your gonna make it

>be 75kg and fast till 71kg~
>take two weeks off and party and attend marriages
>continue to fast now till 65 or even 60kg.

My real goal with prolonged fasting is to stay and stay gone in ketoadaptation.
How long does it take until the body has undergone keto adaptation through prolonged fasting?

I also have designed a ketogenic bulk for when I am in my desired look and weight, so no need to be surprised

You look like a new man

You can always open up your stomach later. Count it as a blessing, but it's normal. And at your status you shouldn't be eating. Until you get to a bmi of 25, STOP FUCKING EATING, FATTY

Read the fucking thread description

How fucking short are you that you even consider being 60kg

strongly considering going full retard and changing my diet to keto, with fasting on Saturdays and Sundays. Anyone have experience with going from terrible diet to a relatively very disciplined diet?

not that guy but I'm 5'6" and want to get down to 63kg

i've never made snake juice and just want to do 48h water fasts, any reason is should make snake juice over just spring water?
i'm seriously a fat fuck and need to get my shit together.

Attached: 1546390161790.gif (192x192, 1.3M)

bump

don't need snake juice for 48h fasts

did you take a before picture?

give it 6-8 weeks until fat adapted

never heard of them before, what are the ingredients?

ICE waters? I guss it's just standard shit and sucralose.

I dont have any family or friends so taking before and after pics doesn't really mean much to me

Eating something really really spicy during your refeed period, how does it effect your next fast afterwards, good, bad, neither

Attached: 135c3546dfcc6fd1ca699adff36834b2.png (485x268, 364K)

Even with an increased water intake I always get a super dry and irritable mouth when I fast. Gum really helps.

Depends how long you went without, I find myself more sensitive after a long fast. I like spicy shit but couldn't stomach stuff I normally find mild. Similarly, soda was way too sweet. It's like a reset for your palate

my fasting period arent really that long, ive been doing 23/1 for the last 6 days

That's most likely inconsequential then

no matter how hard i fast
it wont help my social gains
i feel so fucking empty

but gum breaks your fast, imbecile
