What's /fit/'s opinion of water fasting?

>>41442247

I only got one scoop why'd you get two?

>>41442247
After my winter bulk I do a 10 day cut, eating less each day, then 7 day water fast.

Best way to lose weight, also gets rid of stretch marks.

Prepare to be cold and confused from day 3+

>>41442247
Im fasting but not water fast because I drink coffee and tea like mad. Cant get enough of caffeine.
Its legit good, literally tons of benefits like lower insulin and insulin resistance. I just get hunger when I see food but subsides when I drink water. You should take vitamins and salt when doing extended fasting(beyond 24H fasting).

My cravings for sweet foods extremely dropped, I once tried eating my favorite cake and it felt meh, I want more Peanut butter now.
Overall my health improved and my cravings dropped so it worked for me.
Also be prepare mentally before doing any fast because you're changing your lifestyle.
Last note, I dont recommend extended fasting for people that bulk. Just a regular 16:8

>>41442329
Bulletproof coffee (strong, no milk no sugar), green tea, and vitamins still count as water fasting.

They contain no calories, are not filling, and do not actually provide any energy, only accelerate internal processes.

I appreciate the feedback anons, thanks. Looking into green tea.

This water fast bullshit needs to die now. It's not /fit/, it kills gains and is something desperate fatties do so they can yoyo up and down.

I'm so sick of fat people slowly turning this board into a hive of fatlogic and soccer mom diets.

>>41442343
well my coffee's label says that it contains atleast 7cal per cup.

But I get what you're saying, fastings point is to lower insulin

>>41442370
You need to die now.
>it kills gains and is something desperate fatties do so they can yoyo up and down.
Prove it because fasting makes your body release more HGH which makes you retain your muscles

pic related is me before and after 2 months of eating at a deficit larger than most people would by fasting

i was still exercising every day

tell me fasting is a good way to keep muscle

>>41442500
yep these threads mostly become shitposting threads anyway.

>>41442329
After i did a 7 day fast i had similar results. I crave PB and salads. Ive hated salads for 28 years and suddenly cant get enough. Junk food doesn't seem nearly as appetizing now and after eating it I wish I had eaten something more satisfying.

I also had a port wine birthmark on my neck, after 7 days it lightened considerably, its almost gone. I didnt even notice till my lady friend pointed it out. And a hemangioma on my hand shrunk too.

Would fast again.

Bro, sue your barber

>>41442545
What fast are you doing?
And why are you eating at a deficit, and a large one? Where does it say that eat at a deficit when doing a fast routine? Even martin berkhan say that dont eat at a deficit.

Also, you dont seem to lost a huge amount of your muscle . Its like you're just red in the first pic, wat?

>>41442545
You were still eating right? There's your problem. Prolonged fasting promotes a ton of hormonal changes that eating at a severe deficit doesn't. A severe deficit slows down metabolism whereas fasting can increase it.

>>41442247
I'm on day 3. It's getting a lot better. I can already see changes. Lost 3lbs fat 3lbs water.

>>41442370
Fasting allows the body to heal and get rid of the toxins in your fat.

>>41442722
Please be trolling...

>>41442545
You unironically look better in the right pic, though?

>>41442761
Serious. Fasting will make scars heal and shit. It does the same thing on your insides too.

>>41442545
where the fuck did your lats go

>>41442594
2.4k kcal a day, burning around 6-8

>>41443004
body ate them. i went from 22 pullups to barely able to do 6 even though i was 35lbs lighter

Done up to 4 days before I needed to stop because I had a lot of uni work to do.

>>41442297

This guy relates my experience. At Day 3 you're a lot slower and concentration is more difficult.

I made a mistake of giving a seminar presentation while fasted for 3 days.

Makes things slightly more difficult.

I've found the sweet spot is about 48 hours.

Granted, you miss out on the proposed benefits of 72 hours+ which are quite interesting (go do some research) but I'd need to wait till I wasn't working/uni to do that.

>>41442247
all forms of fadting are retarded and a meme

no meme will ever surpass a simple caloric deficit diet where you still eat regularly but lesser density foods like vegetables.

>>41442545

> ate a deficit

> this is the result of fasting!

uhhhhhh

>>41442722
>toxins
anon...

Fasting is nice, but you gotta get mo electrolytes fo dem programs.

>>41443034
>body ate them. i went from 22 pullups to barely able to do 6 even though i was 35lbs lighter
Why would you even continue such a regiment for that long if the results were so noticeable and so quickly? Is this the anti-fasting lobby?

But yeah, water fasting not a deficit, it's zero food. You think our ancestors had a costco they could walk to to pick up their cereal for breakfast, their steak for lunch, and their pizza for dinner? No, they went through periods of fasting and then when catching prey they feasted.

Only herbivores like cattle who eat grass have a consistent stream of food 24/7. Fasting s beneficial for our bodies, it boosts growth hormone and allows our body to focus on something other than constant digestion.

Bro, the whole fucking point of this method of dieting is because a Doctor who specialises in nephrology and endocrine disorders realised a non-conventional approach to dieting was BETTER than the prescribed medications/interventions. He was reversing T2DM and other chronic diseases in patients effectively with this diet.

His whole point is regarding the prescriptive nature of medicine, how it worked now so never change anything, and how out of date medicine's understanding & appreciation of nutrition is.

You need to realise your extent of nutrition and human biology is probably at best senior highschool PE where they still prescribed you the food pyramid and taught you 6 meals a day 'stokes the metabolic fire'.

This is new research, this is interesting research.

This has such a powerful effect they're trialing it on chemo patients because of its proposed benefits for the immune system.

Don't just be like every /fit/tard and have a knee jerk reaction.

Go read, go inform yourself, don't just spout memes n buzzwords. Get-advised.

Then make a decision.

>>41442297
Can you provide more info Anon? How much did you lose, how did you lose stretch marks, I don't think you can naturally. How much did you progressively eliminate?

>>41443098
>a doctor realised
You do realize that the ad speech for every single meme diet out there starts with "hi I'm dr. xxxxx and I discovered a wonderful new weight to lose weight FAST and EASY"?

>>41443129

Wtf? As opposed to what ..

What is the title for a medical practitioner?

Would you prefer an endocrine & nephrology consultant/attending?

Jesus fuck off.

>>41443140
>As opposed to what
Time proven simple solutions not don't rely on MEMES.

Every single gimmick diet out there was started by "a doctor". It means nothing anon.

>not a single study linked anywhere in the thread
WOW I need to get on this diet ASAP!

>>41443129
This guy isn't selling anything. He isnt selling some mom tier diet program. He isn't selling supplements. Its genuine new research and discovery.

>>41443288
oh I'm sure he is. just like keto diet is common knowledge now but dr. atkins used to milk the shit out of it at the time

>>41443088
it was forced

>>41443095
because i totally wanted to buy a riggers belt for school

>>41443344
If anything hes in danger of being offed. He hates big pharma and what he preaches basically goes against them because they won't sell meds when people find out they don't actually need 7 different prescriptions and their body can just fix itself.

>>41442247
Without protein your muscle will self cannibalize and you will look like a weak lanklet

>>41443146

Ok .. except I've read the research.

Wtf,

So many assumptions, so many random reasons to not look into something.

Ironic, people who say things aren't 'scientific' are usually the least scientific minded people.

>>41442247
I'm starting to consider it.
I've been slacking off for a year now, and have gained a lot of weight. So, about a week ago I decided to start on a diet. I dropped my daily calories to about 1400. I did 6 hours of cardio and 2.5 hours of weight lifting.
The result? I fucking gained 2 kg.

I'm starting to understand all those fat fucks who blame their genetics.

Reminder that the guy in OP is a fraud who claims he was running 25-35 miles daily as "light" exercise.

That's the only way he could have burned through 51lbs worth of fat in 28 days

>>41445189
t. Cicolet

He said he would walk ~5+ miles a day, and weights.

>>41445219
Walking 5 miles would burn about 800 calories.

Where did he burn the other 3400-3700 calories?

>>41445225
DNP if he's a retarded /fraud/
Seriously kids, there's a lot of /fraud/ that's okay or even awesome if you manage it and I'm not going to preach to the internet and tell anyone not to do anything, but the mechanism of action and potential sides of DNP scare me. It's literally trying to kill you and your body loses weight in the process of trying to not die.

>>41445189
Why does it say running burns 1600 calories an hour? Running burns about 650.

>>41445259

Err .. or you just do some basic deduction.

The kid obviously fudged his numbers a bit.

>>41445260
It depends on your weight and speed.

>>41445259
He would have to more than double his BMR, which would probably kill him

>>41445225
Hormones, not cico, you Cicolet. His HGH while fasting is higher than that of /fraud/'s without the injections.

And insulin causes weight gain not calories.

>>41445290
>the human body is literally the only thing in the universe that violates the laws of thermodynamics

t. broscientist

>>41445295
Mine certainly does. If I stopped eating for a week, I'd probably still gain weight.

>>41445290
Except even supranatural doses of HGH can't cause you to literally violate the laws of physics. Was he running DNP at 5g a fucking day the whole time, you dishonest cunt?

>>41445337
/fit/ thinks everyone's success is a /fraud/. Never change, guys.

>>41442722
Thanks Dr. Oz

>>41445371

If a concept isn't distilled down to a rule like

If (A) then (B)

They get confused and call it fraud.

>>41445149
How about you post said research instead?

>>41445411

Google Scholar -> Metabolic Effects of Fasting.

>>41442247
Water fasting works, but you really need to informed so you know what your body is telling you. You can fuck yourself up, example 3 day water fast refeed huge carby meals for a day and then back into another fast. Your body won't like that shit in the long run. There are great ways to use water fasting but you need to do the research and see what your body likes.

Water KILLS, do a cola fast. The normal kind, not diet. Diet soda makes you FAT then KILLS you DEAD.

If you take in nothing but water and no salts you will die.

according to science, the more carbs you eat the more protein you waste. try keto next time.

Why are all these retards calling it a "water fast"? Its just called a fast and they've been doing it since BC

>>41442722
See the fact that some people are this stupid makes bait harder to catch

>>41449769
Because faddy faggots turned "fasting" into having juice and other calories. "water fast" is just to make it specific about how it's real fasting.
>>41447387
Salt is used daily. Morton LiteSalt is preferable because it's 1/2 salt 1/2 potassium. Just chug down some water with 1/4 teaspoon.

Just fucking exercise and diet like a normla human you cucks

How fucking pathetic and lazy do you have to be to water fast?

>>41450924
>How fucking pathetic and lazy do you have to be to water fast?
Well if one has any stretch marks, autophagy will eliminate them. It will also prevent loose skin.

>>41442343

>bulletproof coffee
>no calories

nigga bulletproof coffee is supposed to be coffee mixed with butter and coconut/mct oil.

Okay, do your 'water fast' or whatever trendy diet shit you want...even if you manage to go any length of time w/o food and just chug H20, lose 20 pounds..you're just gonna gain it right back as soon as food hits your stomach.

Fucking faggots looking for the quick fix with these trendy diets.

it's QUITE LITERALLY the opposite of a diet

haha...enjoy torturing yourself for 3 weeks just to gain it all back right away.

man, if you believe this, you're a gullible little babby.

>>41442247
Fast 3-7 Days once a month every month or so wouldn't be too bad if you're overweight/obese trying to lose weight. Just have to be careful when reintroducing foods back in and not go crazy and rebound the weight gain.
