Hey Fasting Anon(s), y'all around?
So I'm a fatass fat as hamplanet. I have love 30 lbs so far and I've been having a fucking hard ass time battling hunger and low energy while dieting.
I took your advice and went to my GP for some bloodwork and got the results back.
He said that I am diabetic and my cholesterol is for shit. I'm also hypertensive.
I asked him about your fasting bullshit and he said that he can't recommend it professionally because he's not familiar with the protocol, but he agreed with your assertion for regular bloodwork if I'm going to do it. Saying he'd feel much safer that way. He said right now the fact that I have uncontrolled blood sugar is his only concern and getting me to lose body fat is the first goal. "However you can do it I'll get behind"
I think I'm going to go with your on/off schedule since it seems like it might work out for me better than long term fasting. I'm afraid I won't be able to do the 2weeks fasting, 2 weeks refeeds. Will one week cycles be as effective? How long until I see improvements in my blood sugar?
He gave me a glucose monitor and a package of 30 test strips. Should I be testing more than once a day when I'm fasting? How about when I'm eating?
When I do refeed what can I eat? Should I be cutting calories from my tdee when I do eat again?
most of the people here who fast don't have diabetes, so you should look for a more specialised forum.

Fasting is not for fats who want to look aesthetic one day. If you have too much to lose and do it too fast, you'll be covered in a hideous skin cape of your former self. Do it slow, do it steady, fast to break plateaus. Good luck anon. Drink more water.

30lbs is a great start, good job on that. Before I can make any absolute assertions in response to your question about how long until you see improvements I'd need to know where you're sitting numberwise instead of just "I'm diabetic and hypertensive". I would also need to know your history. Individuals who have been obese and diabetic for longer take more fasting cycles to gain the same improvements as someone who hasn't been so obese or diabetic for so long. Numbers numbers numbers. Blood sugar, cholesterol, BP, Insulin, weight and body comp, etc.
But without that information I can tell you that a 1 week on and off schedule will be incredibly effective at improving your condition. It may not be AS effective as two week fasting periods, but it's better than going on exogenous insulin and a high carb diet like the diabetes association recommends. (speaking of which, if you're fasting then DO NOT take any blood sugar control medications your doc may have prescribed to you...Did he prescribe anything?)
In the people I've dealt with we generally see diabetes reversal at around a combined 8-12 weeks of fasting. Some see improvements before that and some have taken significantly longer. As long as your beta cells haven't gone kaput or have decreased function then you should eventually regain completely normal blood sugar control. Often this control is restored well before body composition gets below the obesity classification.
>I'm afraid I won't be able to do the 2weeks fasting, 2 weeks refeeds.
I can almost guarantee that once you reach the 1 week mark you'll find out you have no problem with the prospects of going a full 14 days. But do what you're comfortable with and take into consideration your individual circumstance. If you're outside sweating your balls off 5 days a week, then be smart and keep the fasts shorter, as a day or two at a time. If you're in a HVAC controlled office with an ergonomic task chair, then you can manage longer.
>Sick and tired of not being able to take a shit at work without toilet looking like pic related.
Why is it that micro penis betas are too paranoid to use the urinal like normal people?
It's not like anyone's actually looking at your cock
Also, fatties it's comedic for your weak sputtering stream to amplify in a quiet bathroom when you piss in the stall
>>42686958
I know you're fat as fuck but going to the bathroom still doesn't count as cardio so /fit unrelated.
>>42686958
I only pee on the seat because I have aids and I hope you get them too
>>42686958
Do what I do. Practice wall sits until you have enough leg gains to hover your ass a few inches above the bowl indefinitely.
What is your job/major? Does anyone have a well paying and/or fulfilling career?
also how many pull ups can you do
QA engineer, 75k salary and i get to work from home
I dunno, around 10
Healthcare Consultant. 55k, no.
18
>neet
>19 reps @215lbs bodyweight
I only use machines instead of weights because I'm too scared to ask for a spot
Am I gonna make it?
>>42686610
yea you'll make it.
right to the doctor for hormone therapy, you bitch,
No. You have to do machines every day, 10 sets, each musclegroup to even have a chance of making it.
>needing spots
never gonna make it
Tai chi or Yoga?
lifting
>>42686603
>"or"
>>42686603
meditation for sure.
anyone else gets his dick blocked when peeing in public?
I can usually pee in public toilets only when my bladder is so full that it hurts to move or when no one is around in like 10 meters or I don't know if someone is there. What the fuck is wrong here? I'm pretty confident and not shy at all
Yeah I sometimes get this.
Some people claim its an old instinctual response, back from the days when doing toilet made us vulnerable to attack.
Others will say you're a beta insecure fartboi who is scared of the big boys seeing his peepee
Not really. If I do, I start analyzing the wall in front of me and then try to think of words that rhyme with something in my environment.
>>42686560
appens to me
thing is to concentrate on something else, use the flush for example and listen to it
it has a very scientifical latin name btw
Don't know if this is the right place but I want to be much more aesthetically pleasing, especially in my arms and stomach.
Call me lazy or whatever but I just want to know what steroids can I take to start me off. would only be taking them for a month or less til I'm able to do things like 50 pushups in a row, 50 pull ups and bench at least 150.
for reference i'm 6'2 160lbs with weak ass toothpick arms and a protruding gut. would try GOMAD but can't drink milk
5g of DNP every day will get you shredded
After that, get on 750mg test EOD so you can recomp. Don't bother with an AI since it's such a low dose
>>42686742
Thanks! I'll give this a try
50 pullups is considerably harder than the other 2
You can probably do the pushups and bench with 2 or 3 months of training, the pullups would take quite a bit longer I think.
Hello /fit/ I am new. I see you guys talking about your lifts and I saw multiple people say they lift 150 lbs or whatever diddly. What does diddly mean? Deadlift?
>>42686370
Yeah, diddly is what members of our secret club call deadlifts.
Biddly is bench.
Squiddly, is squat.
and The Priddly is OHP.
>>42686412
criddly is curl
riddly is rows
piddlyups
chiddlyups
the bar is called a bradley
eating well is easy as fuck when you're getting started, why do so many knuckle dragging idiots that populate this board struggle so much with this?
just eat a lot of lean protein, green vegetables, milk, and nuts. micromanaging is for fags if you workout enough you can burn whatever you eat.
ITT: least effective, waste-of-space pieces of gym equipment
i like using them for shrugs and calf raises
Where else are you supposed to do squats?
>>42686314
Then you're doing shrugs wrong

Daily reminder that working out is a waste of time if you're older than 18 and already fat, even skinny fat
Numerous metabolic studies have already proven this is a point of no return, fat cells dont leave, theyre only added, you're stuck with it, sorry.
And while you can 'shrink' them they'll always regress to their natural state the second you eat a hershey kiss.
Pic related will never have a six pack and neither will you, if pic related wants pecs he will need to get fatter also.
Cold hard truth of the body.
