>WHAT SHOULD MY FASTING ROUTINE LOOK LIKE?
If you're lean, 5:2!-- OMAD (one meal a day, 1-2 hour eating window) 5 days a week + 48 hour fast a week
If you're a fatass, FAST UNTIL YOU AREN'T.

>WONT I GO INTO STARVATION MODE AND DIE?!
You don't have the willpower to fast to death. Now look down. See that large bulbous gut? That's food. Thousands and thousands of calories stored and ready to be consumed by your body.

>WONT I LOSE MUSCLE?
This is the coolest part about fasting. Your body remains very anabolic when you fast.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5064803/
"Our results suggest that a fasting program in conjunction with resistance training can decrease fat mass, and maintain muscle mass in resistance-trained males."

i am eateing chips

I’m at the last 4 pounds of the cut and they’re a bitch to get off. I added the 48 hour fast a week, but should I do cardio as well?

I am about to start my first dry fast (i was water fasting before, my record is 5 days), is it good idea to drink a lot of water a few hours before starting a fast in the morning, or it's better to go to bed dry and start from then?

I'm at 270lbs. Is it worth just fasting until I'm at my goal, 220? It'd be just under 2 months by my math.

forgot to add that i am doing it to lose some loose skin, so i hope you weren't memeing about it

how long would you need to dryfast for very little lose skin? i'm ripped but i wanna be "tighter".

i've done 7day water fasts, but never dry fasts.

Fasting is nothing but good for you.

Try it, remember the first 48 hours are the hardest then it gets considerably easier.

Drink your salts, follow the guides, good luck.

Post pic so we can see what we have to work with

>bought chili powder
>found only a seasoning salt powder as a nosalt alternative
Fuck man, do these even count as calories and do they even break my fast?
