/fast/ - #468 - Always and Forever Edition

Any success stories from fasting or is it just meme?

How do you fast if you actually do stuff like play sports? I have two tennis matches this week. I think I would pass out if I was fasting. How do you deal with it?

Time your meals accordingly

Anyone noticed an increases in penis size since they started fasting?

Yeah it broke my plateau
Crushed my insatiable appetite
And reduced my cravings
Wish I had taken the fasting pill on my first plateau instead of #828472948, or “giving in a little to cravings” or “fuck it just binge” or “I’m hungry all the time waaaah”

6.5 more hours to go and my 48hr fast is done! gonna do 72 the weekend after next. I feel great,

Do you need to stick to the same hours every day, or can you change the eating window?

Alright lads going to Walmart to get the ingredients for snake juice. Which products do you buy?

Is there anything fasting doesn't do? it's like fucking CBD

It hasn’t made me gay yet.

>its like cbd but actually fixes everything
ftfy

I know I am a complete retard.

The point is that after a day I stil feel awful and have a couple of weird puncutres when in weird positions in the stomach.

Is dangerous what I did? breaking the fast so abruptly? and btw I dont have a gallbladder so add that to the mix.

Will I be okay bros?

How much did you fast to accomplish that and where are you at now, Jow Forums-wise?

Maybe not 'dangerous' in a sense that it causes long term damage. But abruptly breaking a prolonged fast with a large, unhealthy meal containing a bunch of unnatural shit can for sure hurt the shit out of your stomach.

But ye, you'll be okay. The reason it hurts is because your digestive enzyme production slows down when fasting for several days, so the indigested food is basically 'scraping' along your intestines is a more solid and tough form than those organs are supposed to handle. Don't worry about it happening once. The damage wont be permanent. But i wouldnt do it too often either.

I went hiking yesterday and I’m fairly certain I sprained my ankle as I can barely walk on it. Should I break my fast with a lot of protein to help it heal faster?

no-salt
salt
baking soda

I was 180 pounds at the beginning of this year, now I'm 145. 5'6, low muscle tone. Done by alternate daily fasting with some longer fasts mixed in.

I made a really absent minded mistake by taking a small sip of coke zero. Will this have any affect on my fast/ketosis?

You'll be fine you poof I finished a 5day fast with a full family bucket. Mild stomach cramps for half a day then everything was fine.

you're done you can never fast again or reach ketosis now

Which component of the snake juice causes diarrhea?
I really wanna shit.

Epsom salt

You're doneso buddy, you're going to wake up with 20% more body fat tomorrow

Unless you really fucked it up it should heal by itself within a few days regardless of whether you fast or not

Just broke my 3 day dry fast with a large pizza

Fast = FAD DIET

My last real meal was July 7. Since then, days have been a mix of dry fasting, wet fasting, and an occasional bulletproof coffee. I was 215 - 220 when I started, I'm now at 191.4. I know most of that is glycogen, water, and inflammation, but my system should be pretty well detoxed, and my leptin/insulin should be totally reset at this point, so I should be ready to make real progress through standard keto/IF protocols. The lowest I've ever been is 175, but I think I can surpass that pretty easily.

Something that has been used and recommended for at least 1,000 years is hardly a "fad". Plus it works.

>The lowest I've ever been is 175
Wow. That must have been a hell of a delivery for your mother.

Kind of a gross question but.. If I fast for a week I have no feeling of having to poo, the moment I break my fast I have to poo(for real like 4mins after eating). Is this poo that has been stuck in my intestines or is it the food I just ate?

Four hours to end the dry fast, and I don’t want to end it.

I think my body really needed it. All those years of caffeine, drugs, and other shit is getting cleansed. Feels
Good.

You're fucked mate. You'll get fat now.

I've been on Jow Forums since 2012 or so but haven't been here much in the last 18 months, excited to come back and see a /fast/ up and running.

Fasting is saving my life. I'm not a disaster like some folks, my crisis weight was 88.8 kilograms. I got there three times and each time the scale showed me that number I felt like I could hear God screaming in my ears 'you've wasted your fucking life.'

I'm under 80kgs as of this morning and fasting is the quintessential journey. Snake juice is great. CICO is important of course but it's too slow in this modern landscape. You need results now. If you still with a -500 run, eventually you're going to binge drink with friends, or someone you care about will get sick and you'll binge eat to cope with the stress.

Look yourself in the mirror now and commit to getting to your ideal weight as soon as possible. Don't waste any more time being unhappy. Work out what you should weigh and set a picture of that number as your screensaver on your computer and phone, and write it on your hand every day. You might only need to sacrifice three weeks of your life with fasting and you'll be a completely new person. You can do it.

Also chip away with salt during the day a lot. If you're feeling blue, water and salt. Electrolytes take you by surprise, you don't realise when they've dropped until hours later when you realise you were thinking like a retard and felt terrible.

user speaks the truth.

Fellas is it safe to fast on water only, maybe add some water+salt for electrolytes? i wanted to fast for 3-7 days then refeed on soup for some days.

I always see people saying take salts during the day if you feel shitty, is that just drinking more snake juice or is that one of the salts? If so, which and how much? Also good job user, and thank you.

>can that kill me/fuck my heart? if not then its fine
Yes, it actually can, although it would take a bit longer than a few days.

Snake Juice (see OP) is all you need.

I've been drinking snake juice for months now, I just never understood what people meant by taking more salts. Thanks for clearing that up user.

What's the difference between a 8 day water fast and two 4 days water fasts separated by a day of eating a normal amount of calories ?

Alright boys almost finished the first 24 hours of my 72 dry fast. Wish me luck. pic unrelated

You'll spend less time in ketosis and lose less weight.

The longer you fast the deeper the ketosis. In a 4 day fast you are barely into ketosis before you end it, with an 8 day fast your have days of ketosis more. It all helps.

Currently on 4-days and 15 hours, deep into ketosis (as evidenced by my ketostix) and on track to reach my goal weight of 68KG around day 20 or so.

I will fast until I've reached my goal and if I can manage it, undershoot because of the immediate rebound of water weight.

Alright thanks for the answers guys

>Potassium chloride
Excuse me bros, I'm just gonna whine a bit. Can't get this stuff in my country. I can buy it as a fertilizer, 25 kilos of it, not a kilo less. I can go to a doctor and try to convince him to write me a prescription for it, but it'll be for a pre-made suspension. I can ship it from america, but it'll take god knows how long to fly here and will cost 3-4 times the price in shipping alone. I found it being sold in russian store, but they're out of stock. Kind of at a loss here. Who knew it would be so complicated. Doc prescription is my best lead now. Gonna go see him tomorrow.

>I can ship it from america
Where are you user? Norway or some other socialist hell hole?

Has anyone tried this? Fasting works great for fatloss and all but I want to build some muscle too

Are you working out? If not, you can try dryfasting all day and eating a bunch of salted cucumber at the end of the day. If yes, you can still do it, but you're going to feel like shit the first few days and you'll have to reduce your workout volume

Belarus. A country that is actually mildly famous for its rich deposits of potassium, ironically enough.
I've been doing 5/2 before. Salted cucumbers is a good option. If I couldn't get any potassium I'll try going green.

Fasting taught me how to not be emotionally attached to food. I do not sympathize or relate to people that "love food" and "couldn't go a day without food" anymore. I eat when it's convenient for me and when it best suits my schedule day, not when I feel like it. It's a liberating feeling not being a slave to my hunger signals and being in complete control of my thoughts and day. Just looking back at all the mental and physical energy I allocated towards food makes me sick now... I used to think to myself "oh I gotta eat right now or I'll be hungry in 2 hrs, or oh I don't wanna eat out so I'm going to eat now, or oh what will I eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner today?" now I just eat once and I'm able to carefully think about the nutrition of my meal.

Does broth/bullion break ketosis?

>Belarus.
Yeah. Bummer. Unfortunately Potassium Chloride is considered as a drug precursor in many countries which is why it is not for sale to the general public.

Amazon Germany sells it though, which is about as near to you as you can obtain it I suspect.

will taking some zzzquil pills to sleep break my 20 hour fast?

>Does broth/bullion break ketosis?
No, because to break ketosis you need to consume somewhere in excess of 50-200 grams of carbs (depends on your metabolism)

You can't get that by drinking small amounts of broth/bouillon.

This is probably a stupid question but I'd like to think I trust /fast/ more than a random search. I handle food a lot, is there any way that can somehow seep into my hands enough to kick me out of ketosis, or am I being retarded? I've wondered this for a while. Also how many calories are considered enough to kick you out of ketosis? I'm not trying to cheat, just curious.

>somehow seep into my hands
You have a stomach lining on your fingers? Then no.

You can absorb water through the skin but not food.

Weight loss exposes your penis more and improves bloodflow. It is possible that if you were obese in adolescence, you had suppressed testosterone levels and could have a latent small growth spurt in your penis with higher test levels. This often happens with steroid users who were fat kids.
But fasting doesn't boost your test till after the fat is lost and the fast is broken.

Yeah I'm retarded, but was kind of my thought process of it, that if water could do it, blood or anything else might be able to, too.

No. Not simply not possible.

I made one of those posts at the beginning of this month and told myself I would fast the whole month. I've eaten like every other day so far and just feel so unaccomplished. My main problem was probably the weed but I'm throwing out everything having to do with that now. I still just want to at least fast past August 1st and get onto a healthy 48, 72 routine.

>I would fast the whole month.

you mean 30 days without eating?

why does it even matter

just doesn't sound very healthy. a lot of people in this general seem to treat fasting like coping mechanism for something so i can never be sure of people are doing this for health reasons or as some weird alternative to self-harm

no i just want to lose weight and improve my willpower. i want to go as long as i can to shed the weight off. but my ultimate goal is to be lean and do OMAD for the rest of my life. but i know i need to start doing 48s/72s at some point before that.

It's not the weed, it's you deciding to add more it and loose will. Good work pissing it off, just give the weed to a mate and decide to cleanse for a month. Dont try anything to rash as you wont be able to complete it.

>you mean 30 days without eating?
Why not? Totally achievable provided you are using Snake Juice to maintain your electrolytes. Currently 4 days into an expected 20 day fast myself. If it takes longer to reach my goal, I will fast longer without any concern.

Yes. Coping mechanism for being fat, possibly.

Parents are the literal worst for this kind of shit. They want you to remain fat so that they can manipulate you through food.

i've tried very hard to fast on weed and i got to the second day once but it's just no use. i can't fuck up anymore now. there is too much on the line. like cole says all i have to do is not eat. this should be easy once my mind is put into it

just broke my fast, how can I start another fast right away?

Did a 24 hour dry fast.
I don’t feel any different, don’t appear to have lost anything.

Am I doing it right? Or do I have too much water in my system already?

>just broke my fast, how can I start another fast right away?

I think I shit out most of the food I ate, had liquidy diarrhea, so I think I'm in good condition for tomorrow

Based

Brehs, what's the verdict on doing low intensity cardio and free weights while doing like a 1-2 week fast?

Does it help get the body into ketosis?

The laws of thermodynamics dictate that it speeds up fat burning, but I just want to ensure I won't start burning broteins by accident.

Any good scholarly papers written on the subject?

Attached: 1409547046783.jpg (499x750, 172K)

Imagine thinking that's a fast...

First off, dipshit, it's not a fast until you get into ketosis, which takes AT LEAST 24-48 hours to enter.

What you're doing is just messing with your metabolism.

This user is proper /fast/

Godspeed.
