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
>finished my 84 hour fast >decide to finally try these cookies >take only bites of them >half of them tasted disgusting >I completely lost my appetite >try to eat breakfast >scrambled eggs and biscuits >it tastes disgusting >didn't finish it feel like puking it up what have I become, what has this fast done to me
Christopher Clark
Should I be taking vitamins while fasting?
Water solluables like C? or B?
How about fat solluables like D? or Omega-3s?
Luis Collins
pop a multivit here and then, if you start fasting not malnourished you should be fine. Had my bloodwork done after a 7 day fast w/ no real issues and i didn't take any multivits, just snekjews
Christian Edwards
You have become closer to God child. You have chosen the path of pain and temperance.
Kayden Ward
Normally when the body is starving (as in really hungry) even shit food tastes delicious. I've legitimately eaten shittier food before this. What a new revelation. I'm probably going to do a 2 day fast later this week after regaining some lost strength.
Brody Scott
Fasted for 24 hours and then tapped out recently. My hunger pains were too much. Also I actually had a fucking dream about ribs and some weird salami cheeseburger. I'll try again next week.
Jace Cox
Gonna repost in the new thread if that's fine
Sup fatties, anybody here wanna make some money while losing weight? there's a site where you can wager on your weight loss over a period of time and they're starting a team challenge jan 5th and top prize is $10k the team has to do is lose the most weight % overall. It runs from jan 5th to mar 30th and is $25/month (per person i think) so if we make a team and all do some silly fasting shenanigans that would be ez 2k for each of us. if you're interested in trying email me parthrowaway at gmail dot com
try not eating carbs and sugar and spiking the fuck out of your insulin to break a fast
Parker Thomas
But lately I've heard that vitamin D is super important and I should be taking it hand over fist. Anything to it?
Blake Allen
That's pretty much all I have access to. It's not like I ate a whole bunch of it anyways.
Tyler Wright
Just realized I've been fucking myself by drinking unsweetened herbal teas on the first four days of my fast.
Today will be day 5 and I'm switching to water (snake juice) only.
Jayden Thomas
I wish more people would talk about autophagy when it comes to fasting. The only reason I'm interested in this is for helping to get rid of some loose skin and light stretch mark scarring as I was a former fatass but now my BMI is a flat 21.0 after a year of CICO
Robert Rodriguez
Why did that fuck yourself up?
Charles Murphy
All shit except for plain water has to be processed by the liver and technically breaks the fast. Caloric value doesn't matter.
Owen Roberts
>That's pretty much all I have access to. This is why you're fat in the first place you fuck.
Charles Murphy
>not drinking la Croix for tasty drink that don't break fast Pic related some user a while ago reccd this and it's delish. >inb4 I'm a shill I do it for free bros. Snek pots get boring after a while
Anthony Peterson
good levels of vitamin d and zinc will improve your mood and increase your test. if you're a purist you won't take vitamins during a fast (see ) but if you're fair skinned you can get extra D by spending 10 minutes in the sun.
Brandon Adams
That is kind of bullshit f.a.m
Landon Stewart
M8s give me a list of keto approved vegetables for when i do eat pls
Sebastian Watson
Brocolli
Isaac Jones
Onions Garlic Chives Shallots
Mason Perez
>on a 48 hour long fast >longest ive been on >gets dinner date tonight >have to eat so I dont look like obnoxious cunt thots
Josiah Long
>waiting till jan 5th to start >worth it Sorry I'm out.
Nolan Jones
Make sure you do some mild refeeding before dinner dat so you don't shit liquid a few minutes in the meal
Jonathan Roberts
Can't blame you for wanting to lose that extra bit of weight rather than make some money.
Thomas Campbell
thats a thing? fuck
Samuel Walker
kind of, it depends. Sometimes I have a vicious shit if I break my fast with something not so great for ya, other times i just don't shit for a day and then the next day is hell on my asshole.
Parker Nelson
Its winter in Finland... We have no sun over here :z
Carter Baker
Be on the side of caution user I shit myself for real after breaking my first 48 with a me to beef stew without following the gentle refers procedure Embarrassing as fuck
Angel Campbell
Anyone else angry during their fasts? I just feel so irritable and my mood is generally shittier. Maybe my life is just garbage and dopamine from food is the only thing keeping me from truly realizing it.
Joshua Hughes
Though actually I should reiterate it goes by % of body weight lost not actual poundage so if you kept up your weight loss for this month and joined us you'd still be doing fine unless december was all you needed to become hungry skeleton.
Josiah Sanchez
If I have a meme addiction like cigarettes, will smoking break my fast? I know it kinda dulls hunger pains but I don't know if it'll fuck shit up beyond the obvious fucking up of my lungs.
Isaac Adams
Will smoking cigarettes break my fast? I wanna quit soon but the hunger pain reducing from nicotine is a real godsend.
Parker Robinson
are we talking proper food or sugar in particular? Sugar is a drug and makes you moody if you dont eat it
Josiah Diaz
No but it will break your lungs Buckle down and quit for a while or forever I did it with my serious alcohol addiction. Get drugs from the doc if you have to
Evan Hughes
Already finished 21 day fast.
>Doing a second 21 day fast until new years.
Oliver Rodriguez
I know senpai I'm lucky in that I really haven't been smoking for too long(like over half a year) but I really do wanna quit come Christmas.
Nathaniel Cook
Gonna fast till christmas, or when i reach my goal weight. Whatever comes first.
Logan Rodriguez
Based as fuck
Alexander Gomez
Good luck brother, I was gonna go to Christmas, but I want to hit new years so I'll be at goal weight even with that post-fast bloat.
Cooper Kelly
Both but probably specifically only sugar. Been eating shit like poptarts and whatnot right before the fast.
Brayden Smith
Same to you, i'd like to just keep going until my goal is reached but skipping out on christmas dinner is a bit too much, will probably eat light and keto though so not much of a setback.
Adrian Butler
As long as you stay keto, the only thing you're "lose" is the extra poundage that day and autophagy.
It's really nothing to worry about.
Jace Sanchez
Thats making things unnecessary hard for you. Did it once, too. There was always a strong hunger. Try cutting sugar or even carbs for a day or two before your fast. That wont spike your blood sugar and makes fasting a lot easier.
Lucas Lewis
things to do OP -- link to previous thread -- include links to snakeman videos
Liam Anderson
I'm OP, i don't usually create new threads but the last one was on page 10 and autosaging; i just copy pasted the current OP. But if i make a new one i'll include those.
Brandon Hernandez
I've gone from 185 to 175 in a little over two weeks with two 48 hour fasts and IF on other days.
Feels pretty good; I'm already at a comfortable target weight, but I'm going to keep going since I still have bitch tits.
John Brown
Does chewing gum count as breaking a fast?
Kayden Fisher
>Fasting because I want to respect the body The Lord gave me, not because the Bible says I should do it now
Does that count, my fellas?
Kevin Miller
Is dry fasting something that should only be attempted after "normal" fasting for a while? I'm currently on a ADF schedule, and my idea is to incorporate the occasional dry fast (every few weeks). btw, I'm going to be doing this for quite a while (I'm >350lbs)
Robert Powell
gum has calories. you're absorbing the gum juices. so yes
Ethan Anderson
how long into fasting until you start to lose muscle?
currently trying to fast to lose fat but i'm not sure how long I should go before I start to lose any muscle
Blake Sullivan
That's pretty good but if you're going to be spiritual like that you have to go monk mode which is nofap/noporn + fasting
Eli Barnes
Your body will start to break down protein for glucose after gyclogen is depleted and ketosis begins. This will continue to happen as long as you don't eat. This doesn't necessarily mean the muscle that you want to retain, but also dead skin, scar tissue, etc.
Moderate exercise and not eating protein will help save muscle during your fast or ketogenic diet.
Isaiah Collins
Real mastic gum is virtually calorie free, just watch out if you have fillings.
Landon Rivera
Hey guys, I have a dilemma.
My current plan is fasting 24 hrs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Should I lift on my fasting days, or lift on my non-fasting days?
Pros of lifting on fasting days: Autophagy Pros of lifting on non-fasting days: Can eat protein-heavy meals.
Can't decide which is more optimal.
Luis Moore
how about fast on your eating days
Kevin Perez
nice one lad, finished a 43 day fast in november, planning to do another long fast in january.
only reason i'm not doing it now is because birthday/work dinners/christmas/new years is coming up.
Anthony Martinez
Im currently doing OMAD and keto. How do i make sure i remain in ketosis? By making sure i eat no more than 5% of my calories out of carbs? Any pointers?
Jack Hughes
dang i didn't consider that one user
Easton Carter
Just finished my first fast, broke it today at 14 days since I wanted to refeed slowly for Christmas parties and such. Breaking with some bone broth, watermelon, and some kimchi.
SW: 248.1 lbs CW: 224.4 lbs
Physically: Was easier for me than most because I was a wrestler in HS and college and I'm used to starving, but I'm sure you can all pull it off. Felt pretty good during the fast, did some macebell workouts week 1, but switched to light walking and elliptical for week 2. Snake juice and potion isn't all that bad, don't chug it or you'll get liquid shits.
Mentally: I was a little more irritated than usual, shorter temper, I have a genuine hatred for fat people now whereas before I just didn't like them. More focused at work.
I'm expecting to refeed up to 230-235, which is fine. Goal point is to fast until 155 then refeed to 165-175, I'll be starting that on New Year's Day once all the family is gone.
Gabriel Evans
>43 day fast what the fuck how did that go, can you give us a rough timeline of what happened?
Jackson Baker
day 1-43: fast
Brandon Campbell
I recommend starting with a 48 hour fast; you'll get into ketosis quick. If you're like me, you can even eat a fair amount of carbs on OMAD without leaving ketosis for long.
I ate 4 slices of pizza the other night and my keto strips never went below medium. It is a lagging indicator, but at the very least I was back in ketosis within hours rather than days.
Kevin Robinson
is it true that drinking tea or coffee or even just lacroix sparkling water will fuck up your fast and mess up autophagy?
I read some shit about how if your liver needs to process anything then it's not fasting, but I see a lot of you crazy fuckers here fasting on lacroix/tea/coffee/bone broth or whatever.
Alexander Jones
Coffee boosts autophagy
Angel Davis
fukkin weak
Justin Bell
Fasting while drinking zero calorie drinks is just a a keto diet, and it's better than a keto diet for losing weight.
But eating things that stimulate your digestion hormones can make you hungrier and halt good processes like autophagy.
Chase Ross
so I can drink black coffee while fasting?
right now i'm drinking snake juice and on day 2 of fast. going to try to go until friday/saturday. But I have exams, so would it be okay if I drink straight black coffee?
Joshua Scott
sounds like something out of a cartoon
Jonathan Adams
unfortunately I'm not fat, I'm just trying to get stronger and healthier ...
the money would have been nice
Joshua Edwards
LMAO, you fast for 4 days and then -
>here you are user, break your fast with this entire raw onion
Josiah Rogers
Fellas, help.
I'm on my third day of fasting but I want to do a seven day one.
Will only drink water and some table salt do the trick?
Should I eat after the seventh day and start another one?
Jonathan Harris
There's no talk because no one can fucking prove it/demonstrate it
The science is still extremely new and sparse, and we have precious few real examples of fixing loose skin.
Chase Anderson
why?
If I have a bunch of fillings, should I never chew it?
Blake Ramirez
Fuck off Rhonda
Jaxson Robinson
It's just crazy hard and chewy. My grandmother used to dip it in candle wax to soften it.
Isaac Ward
How damn much weight did you lose, were you a planetary being?
Charles Brooks
which days were the hardest? which days were the easiest?
how much snake juice/potion did you consume?
Grayson Russell
>not eating protein >ketogenic diet. What?
Benjamin Green
Have snake Juice (salt and no salt) Keep going unless your body absolutely tells you not too. You'll know IF it happens, maybe 10 days in for some people.
Jaxon Ross
That's organ and muscle autophagy, what about the rest?
Camden Ramirez
some user in the last thread was saying he thought creatine was fine to take while fasting, and taking branched amino acids at the beginning of some phase was somehow helpful to the fast
could anyone else shed some light unto this?
Cooper Rodriguez
Currently 100 hours into a snake juice fast. Gonna try to go until I see abs and then I'll post my progress pics in /FAST/. I have gyno, rosacea, and keloids on my back so I'm considering dry fasting to see if it will get rid of these. Anyone have any experiences with fasting and gyno/rosacea/keloids? The keloids on my back appear to be shrinking on my snake juice fast.
Gabriel Brown
what if you just don't have any ab muscles m8?
Aaron Parker
Then I'll go until I can see my intestines
Tyler Jackson
what if you don't have any intestines m8?
Angel Adams
>rosacea Can't you just get a 25 percent salicylic acid peel?
Connor Garcia
That's good news for me. I've had keloids for decades too. I can't fast for too long coz I'm already pretty thin. Keep us updated user.
Joshua Morris
I'd prefer to try and fast it away. snake juice fasting has already taken care of my seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff so I believe in fasting. Will do. If at the end of my weight loss I still have skin issues, I'll fatten up on OMAD and dry fast back down.
Elijah White
Fast on your resting days.
Food before the gym means a longer workout
A longer workout means more calories are needed on your rest/repair days.
Just do yourself a favor and Finnish up with some cardio, 30 minutes if you can muster, as you want to finnish off the calories you consumed before working out before you begin repairing.
Adam Mitchell
Which are the ingredients for the famous Snake Juice?
Where can I buy that?
Daniel Anderson
>Which are the ingredients for the famous Snake Juice? I want to know the same. I'm a newfag to this general and I've seen this term thrown around. Adding the vids to the OP would help a lot.
1 liter of water Two tablespoons of sea salt (non iodized) Two tablespoons of No-salt (Potassium Chlorate) Lemon (optional) Apple cider vinegar (optional) Baking soda to counteract the acidity from the lemon and vinegar Google snake juice you cunts
Tyler Richardson
thank you
Colton Scott
Copying myself from last thread
This is what I do but there will be disagreements because it is Veeky Forums after all.
Snake Juice: - 1tsp pink rock salt - 1tsp no salt / diet salt / potassium chloride - Mixed in 1L of water - 1-2x a day, plain water after if still thirsty
Snake Potion: - 1 tsp organic apple cider vinegar - Lemon juice (I squeeze half a lemon) - 1 tsp baking soda - 1 tsp Cayenne pepper - In a cup of water, rinse teeth thoroughly with plain water after - 1-2x a day, not really compulsory
Other things I drink: Unsweetened tea, black coffee (max one a day), water, mineral water. Maybe a coke zero once on like a third day but this is not recommended.
I lift weights at a slightly lower intensity than I would normally, and try to keep my cardio light and extended rather than hard and fast (being cautious about fasting impacts on heart if you get the salt balance wrong)
Other things I do for 3+ days: - Multivitamin and Zinc - Magnesium Supplement
Down 10kg in 20 days.
Gabriel Thompson
Woah i fucked that up. Don't drink that, I forgot I made 2 liters today, and it's teaspoons not tablespoons
