I have tried to do waterfast, but I keep failing about 6 days in. I want to do 30 straight days of it...

It's a meme, user.....

why do you feel the need to go straight to 30 days?

each time you do ~6 days, you get better at it. next time, try for 8-9 days.

progressive overload, my man.

>but cutting out water is fucked
You have this backwards. They don't eat at all and only drink water.

That said it's still fucked.

how about?

dont eat...

like how can you fail it. all you have to do is not put any food in your mouth for 2 weeks

You're not doing it properly. Remember that you're not supposed to drink any water at all. A lot of people get this confused. It's hard to do though, I recommend driving far into woods to better resist temptation. Don't bring a water purifier either that will enable you to easily cheat.

Good luck. I believe in you!

did 14 days last year, planned on a week but it was so easy i extended it to two weeks, had no real trouble, after the initial water loss the weightloss stalled at 0.3 kg /day

>using stimulants because your will is weak
Lmao little bitch.

Fasting for a full day is stupid. However, intermittent fasting with healthy meals or meal replacements at specific intervals with certain activity levels is actually good.

>after the initial water loss

...you lost water on a water fast?

>intermittent fasting
More like meme fasting. You're just teaching your body to store fat more when you're depriving it of nutrients.

>...you lost water on a water fast?

Then why I am fit and you are probably a fat fucking retard? Your body doesn't get "taught" to store more fat, and you are supposed to supplement any potential deficiencies and carefully choose what you do eat.

That would be . The same board where we house the mentally ill homosexuals.

You're fit because you're probably eating as much as your TDEE is. When you eat doesn't matter. What matters is what and how much you eat.

That's why fat slobs who skip breakfast to lose weight lose nothing because they just gorge themselves and more than make up for the morning deficit with lunch and dinner.

Fasting isn't starvation.
Fasting isn't dieting.
Clean your room and study English.

>When you eat doesn't matter.

incorrect

Correct.

Do keto holy shit. I lost 60 lb in 3 months and didn't starve myself.

Why not do keto it does the samething?

>I have tried to do waterfast, but I keep failing about 6 days in.

That's longer than 90% of the people that try to go on extended fasts. Nothing wrong with taking a day, two or three off, then continuing the fast.

>I want to do 30 straight days of it. How do I get this shit DONE?!

Only way is to go this long is to see a doctor so they can monitor you. You can just do 6/1, 5/2, 5/1, 4/1, etc. or a mix. Keeping it random will keep the body guessing so it won't get accustomed to a set schedule. You'll still reach your goals this way.

I want to do a 40 day fast next year. Are doctors legally bound to monitor fasting patients or what?

t. Learned everything I know about nutrition from Tumblr memes

No, dumbass. They can tell you not to do it or refuse to take you as a patient. You can find a doctor to monitor you while fasting though.

does water fasting fix skin problems?

That's incredibly unhealthy. You're going to lose more muscle than fat

fat is burned on a fast at about half a pound a day.

Holy shit are you my dad?

unlikely, the change was probably from the amount of water he's drinking/not eating shitty foods.
Eczema also comes from sweat, likely he didn't exercise during the fast

day 4 on water fast, lost 2lbs a day, when does it slow down?

Agreed.

it's very unlikely that's fat lose.
your tdee isn't 7000cal.

I meant when does the weight drop slow down, not fat

Yes, it can.

Depending on activity, you can lose .6 to 1.5 lbs a day.

I'm not active at all, fuck seems like I'm gonna have to fast forever to lose 35lbs of fat

See . Just walk a little bit each day, you'll lose it in no time.

I used myrunkeeper to see how much calories I burned biking 6.8 miles (with a lot of altitude change with the app takes into account) and it showed a little over 300 calories, that is nothing

No, we're just required to stabilize you when you're dying, not actually help you with your autistic schemes.

Sounds like a lot, but biking miles and walking/running miles are quite different. Really anything you do is going to help. That 300 cal is going directly against any fat stores. Just don't overexert yourself while fasting.

just checked lostertown.org for estimated weight loss, gonna have to fast for 5 more weeks to get lean

it's okay, I hate myself anyways

According to some people here fasting IS dying tho.

probs soon.
I'm going to hazard a guess that most of that is fecal matter and other stuff like that.

doing keto afterwards for ever. Doc says I should be able to handle it just fine.

DOn't do it you fucking retard, you'll fuck your metabolism up for a long time and lose any muscle you have now, just get a healthy diet, exercise and take it SLOWLY.

Face it, kiddo. You've got memes on your side. I've got logic. Take the L and move on to performing daily ritualistic placebo memes.

>You've got memes on your side. I've got logic.

So what you're saying is I've won this round.

The only thing you won is a retard badge.

Better than nothing.

I actually did it for 30 days clean and went from 250 to 210 drank around 2 to 3 gallons a day.At first it was hard tben I felt really good and energetic after 7 days.My face cleared up,I got better sleep,my energy was high all day.I was also lifting weights 3x a week but just a simple full body heavy with 2 sets and bodyweight stuff.Make sure you lift thats very important and do long slow steady state cardio while your deep in the fast.

Day 10 beerfast. Feels goo men

Could you just prescribe him some cyanide?

I thought that was Veeky Forums though

mmm yes quite, when you stop ingesting sodium you don't retain as much water as you used to, such a novel concept

>diets
>fasts
>cleanses
I'm almost certain these are memes for lazy fucks. A healthy diet is one you can maintain over your lifetime, not drastically changing what you consume for a few days or weeks.

it's done by doing it...

You maybe look fit but I'd be willing to be that what you are doing is not healthy. Why not just maintain a regular diet?

maybe people shouldn't lift since humans can't lift 24/7

What about a 2-3 day fast monthly? It becomes habit, and a lifestyle. No proof that it's harmful either.

I don't follow how you reach that conclusion from my post. Perhaps your waterfast is fucking with your brain, well whatever brain you have in the first place to find the idea of a water fast attractive.

Honestly I can see a water fast "helping" if we're talking about some fat fuck who has yet to reach the level where they should hit the gym otherwise I really do not see the benefit of depriving yourself of food for an extended period of time.

not him but IF is a much easier diet for me to maintain when I'm not trying to gain weight.

saves time and distraction by not thinking about food or spending time cooking for at least half your day, can eat a full meal when you do eat and won't exceed TDEE unless you literally gorge on shit food, mentally sharper when on an empty stomach.

There was a really fat guy who did it for more than a year. The body used the leftover tissue, previously used to hold the fat. So he didn't even have loose skin afterward.

Yea I suppose if you wanted to do this during times where you're not physically exerting yourself too much. Maybe a Friday plus the weekend. I don't know though, I'd consult someone who actually knows what they're talking about here (ie no one on this website or anywhere on the internet) before going ahead with this. I just don't think that short little "diets" likes this can have long-term heatlh benefits or off-set weeks of poor habits.

>I really do not see the benefit of depriving yourself of food for an extended period of time

Of course you don't. You'd have to stop eating every few minutes, and we can't have that boogie.

>0.3 kg/day
That's 0.66 lbs, 1 lb = 3500 cals, so your BMR is 2300. Story checks out.

If you want to but personally I'd just eat less until I see some conclusive evidence pointing to the benefits. For example: bowl of oatmeal for breakfast with some peanut butter & banana and then a pork chop or chicken breast in the late afternoon. I'm sure two little meals wouldn't fuck you up horribly and they'd provide you with some energy but if you have a routine you should be running a deficit if you eat only what I early stated in this post

>you don't fast therefor you are a fat fuck
I think you may have a psychological issue to deal with here. Please use a tripcode so I can filter out your posts

Hi. Please read this.

>It was concluded that there are minimal impairments in physical performance parameters measured here as a result of a 3.5 day fast.

Owned bitch.

>he hasn't stopped eating and doesn't live off of pure will
You're never going to make it

"Fasting is for lazy people"

Do you understand how much mental fortitude you need to fast for more than 24 hours? Obviously not.

He was making a light hearted joke on the subjective nature of "extended period of time" user.

So you see user, he does not actually believe you are boogie, or even fat. I personally found the joke rather humorous.

I really don't need to eat breakfast for energy. I've already noticed that I am more alert since starting this diet and my workouts have been unaffected. I tried keto for a month once before and my workouts were shit. If I got really hungry in the morning I probably wouldn't do IF but I don't. Eating breakfast would essentially be forcefeeding myself.

I think you just owned yourself. Please read things before you post them as "proof" of your voodoo beliefs

>user asks for benefits
>you post study showing no harm

wew you niggers need to take a science class

>Do you understand how much mental fortitude
no but fighting the tobacco cock takes that too. But what I meant was that what I observe on a day-to-day basis in real life is that the people who go on about diets and such are most often the type of people who expect a few weeks of eating clean to off-set their year of eating shit.

I'm doing the permanent fast, no nasty food to make my turn pale.

photosynthesis? How do I take the plantpill?

The benefits are obviously the LOADS of fat loss!!!

Water fasting...Jesus Christ this is just pathetic. If you truly believe this is worth doing you deserve to lose the muscle

except studies show that fasting has a different effect than a moderate caloric deficit.

the body increases levels of certain hormones to help retain muscle during a fast, but not during a moderate caloric deficit.

I did that after a 3-keg party once. We only went through 2 and some of the 3rd, so my roommates and I spent the next week consuming pretty much nothing but beer.

>I supplement with fish oil as well.
Fish oil has calories.

Of course it is.

How the fuck is one supposed to lift 3x, do cardio in between, while fasting, for a month?

It's idiotic and I can't wait for this shit to stop here

MAYBE you shouldn't go HAM while fasting for a month.
