>What is /fast/? Fast is a thread for the discussion of intermittent fasting, fasting, water fasting, and fat fasting While fasting alone is fantastic for your health, Consider doing a ketogenic in addition to become god mode
What actually kicks you out of ketosis? Just carbs?
Elijah Myers
just eat less

I'm on the 4rd day of my first fast, I did IF and OMAD in the past but with coffee and artificial sweeteners, I have to admit that Cole is right they do mess with you. I'm feeling great. My original idea was to do 2 72s a week but now I'm wondering if I really need to eat at all.
Good job. It depends on how fat you are, what you'll be doing the next few weeks etc. Also yes, sweeteners and coffee are shit. People always looking for excuses don't understand that fasting means snake juice only.
John Reed
Thanks man, Since I'm still lifting but just maintaining my strength I believe I will need a refeed at some point. I've got 20lbs of fat that need to go If I remember correctly Cole recommended 72s for that amount but never said that you shouldn't do a prolonged fast either if you are up for it so I'll go by feeling.
David Nguyen
It´s my first ever cut and I'm trying to go for a protein heavy intermittent fast where I only eat from 4pm to 10pm. In that six hour window, I try to eat as much as I can.
Questions:
- Am I allowed to drink water protein shakes when fasting? - Should I work out before, during or after my eating period? - are supplements like oils and tablets allowed outside of feeding time?
TY
Josiah Lee
If you're "only" 20 lbs overweight I wouldn't do more than a 72 a week, since it's not that much. It's all personal preference though, if you feel good you could do 7 days. Going by feeling is always the correct approach to fasting. Always. >No >doesn't matter >No
Elijah Watson
15 hours into my second 7-day, this is gonna be hard.
Hudson Morales
Good luck bro. Why 7 day instead of two 3 days split by an OMAD day?
Juan Miller
Thanks. I don't wanna bother with getting in and out of ketosis all the time so 7-day is the easiest. It could be my last though, I'm considering moving on to 5 days with a weekend break if I make it to 100kg with this one.
Cooper King
WHY ARE YOU NOT URINE LOOPING YOU STUPID BASTARD
Brayden Martinez
>getting in and out of ketosis Don't you still say in ketosis if you just refeed with a keto meal?
Tyler Mitchell
Maybe, I don't know. But I don't wanna bother with that, the refeeding and fasting again, getting used to it just to start over, it's just too tiring. Besides, I like keeping track of my weight and I wouldn't be able to get any good measurements with all the water weight coming on and off every 72 hours.
Nicholas Lewis
Been 3 day sj/1 day OMAD for 2 weeks. Seeing progress (206 down to 191) but it's time to step it up and absolutely fucking crush it. This is my promise to you, /fast/ - I will finish a 30 day SJ, or I will eat my fucking socks. Here we go fellas. The goal is so close.
Liam White
because its fucking disgusting
Eli Rivera
Uhh, I'm on week 6 and I'm much hungrier than normal. What do?
was binging hard on dominos pizza, went up 10lbs to 175lbs (~79.4kg) did a couple fasts, back down now. :) was scary how quickly the scales skyrockets. I will NOT become another stat. I will be the 3% that succeed. It has been a year and im doing great!
Just noticed you people seem to be drinking your own fucking piss? Is it just a meme or should I stop taking this fasting shit as anything more than bullshit?
Anyway, I'm obese, plan is, since I can't lift during this quarantine, to try fasting. For this week to go monday-thursday 18:6 to get a feel for it, and then do a 3 day fast. Is this okay for the first time or should I do less?
Justin Baker
Fuck off
Dominic Carter
Ight guys I work a physical job, diesel mechanic, both mentally and physically exhausting most days, one or the other if not both on any given day. I can't function properly and do the job while fasted or in a caloric deficit. Any advice? I used to have no problem doing full blown fasts when I took a year off from work.
hes used to it, it like fasting, you push throu. 2 bottles is really extreme for starters
Michael Gomez
No problem! On another note, my hunger pangs have gone away. I think I'll make it until tomorrow at least.
Ryder Morris
right, OMAD will only be about 1000-1200 cals
William Kelly
why do i get so thirsty when im fasting?
Angel Bennett
Jewish tricks
Matthew James
can anyone address the gallstone thing someone earlier made a thread about what are your experiences and findings?
Lucas Mitchell
literally the opposite for me
Michael Sanders
link?
Colton Gomez
>The more provocative parts of the essay interrupt his personal story to survey the strange medical history of fasting in America. He starts after the Civil War with a depressed doctor named Henry Tanner, who decided to commit suicide by starving himself. But as the foodless days wore on for weeks, Tanner noticed that his depression and other ills vanished. Rather than end his life, he became a vocal proponent of fasting in the Gilded Age.
As Tanner's fast went on, he felt better and better. Fucking lmao. The next time you have some mopey cunt talking about suicide tell them to starve themselves to death. It will cure them.
>plan is, since I can't lift during this quarantine, to try fasting. For this week to go monday-thursday 18:6 to get a feel for it, and then do a 3 day fast. Is this okay for the first time or should I do less?
Sounds fine; I myself would do the 16:8 and then try a 24 hour first first, just so you know what you're getting yourself into and its a goal that is attainable and you wont feel like a failure if you give up halfway through.
Stay hydrated, coffee is a great appetite suppressant, and make sure you drink something akin to snake juice to get your salts in balance. If your muscles start cramping up at any point, its because you probably have a lack of salts.
My biggest tip is to break your fast with something super-lite like a small calorie salad. If you break your fast with something lite, your hunger gradually comes back and you can easily swing back into 16:8.
If you break your fast with something high-calorie or a big meal, your hunger comes in like a fucking wrecking ball and you will end up binging and eating well over your calorie limit.
It sounds paradoxical, but its been the experience for most people fasting I talk to (and for me as well; I always broke my fasts with a big meal; makes sense, right? But then I'd be ravenous and want to eat more. Now I always eat like a 3-400 calorie salad, most of the calories from olives/almonds/olive oil, and I'm never hungry afterwards.)

>get my girlfriend to start fasting >bitches at the 12 hour mark >catch her drinking diet soda today
>catch her Was she doing it in secret? If so then she's eating in secret too. She's also a deceitful person and unless you are just using her for sex, you are wasting your time. Anything beyond using her holes is a fruitless exercise.
Christian Sullivan
Any opinion on vitamin B and C? I read that B makes you want to vomit
Josiah Brown
Because the stuff you eat usually has water in it, you need to drink more to get the equivalent amount of water you'd usually have
Epsom salts are also used in gardening as a fertiliser and to prevent transplant shock
Liam Thompson
Edible epsom salts
Camden Cook
I've stopped thinking about food constantly and I no longer feel hungry at 46 hours in. That's me in the fat burning zone now lads and it's good to be back.
Daniel Butler
Welcome back The thought of burning fat is nice, I agree
Ryder Hill
Are there inedible Epsom salts? The bag of Epsom salts I bought doesn't have any nutrient facts anywhere on it, which leads me to believe that if there are inedible Epsom salts that this might be one. I've been making snake juice with it for about a month anyway with no noticable side effects.
Adrian Myers
Then go on You could ask your source if you're worried
James James
if you drink that much piss it will totally flush your colon. not a bad thing if you're doing it intentionally, but my point is that you can only drink so much piss as it's a laxative. most of urine therapy involves applying it to skin to heal injuries and wrinkles and such
