PURE FASTING FOR 2 WEEKS

>>41707299
Sure why not

Does intermittent fasting work, or is it just a meme?

>>41709151

It works for cutting.

Don't know about any of that hormone optimization stuff, but it's just easier to consume less calories when you're skipping a meal every day.

Good for both bulking and cutting. I recommend running a preliminary extended fast just to shed as much excess fat as possible before starting though.

Eventually your body will learn to react to insulin like this, when your body starts doing this whenever you eat carbs you have an optimal anabolic endocrinal profile.

You're going to fail miserably.

You're underestimating the primal drive to consume food. 2 weeks is extreme.

It's something that happens to people with really good insulin sensitivity once they eat a lot of carbs, they get insanely vascular and basically get a kind of pump just from eating.

It's because the body just goes nuts and wants to build tissue (i.e. muscle) once it finally does get some carbs.

>>41707299
so : How do you do fasting ?

>>41711517
Like, literally you just dont eat...

i like how it betters my mental state even if i couldnt walk a step when i get out of bed

>12 hours so far
>Goal hours: 24 hours

remember, fatfucks. you dont die and it gets super easy and become disciplined after first three days

how much money would you pay if you could have dream body in return?
all of fit faggots would go bankrupt and give their tiny testicles away on the given chance and then you cant endure for three days?

i believe anyone can make pure fasting if they are promised to be paid lots
see top gurantee actors or actresses for examples

>>41707299
I'm in my second week of a two month fast so I'll see you there.

>>41713274
are you water fasting for two months?
how do you feel in stomach now?

>>41707299
>wanting muscle atrophy
at least eat some protein you moron
I subsisted on a weekly diet of nothing but protein and a carb refeed once a week for four monthes, it's possible and extremely effective for being leaner instead of just smaller

>>41710564
You're dumb. The hunger stops when the stomach goes dormant in 24 to 48 hours depending on what it's used to. Willpower is tough for 2 days in and 2 days waking your stomach up safely with fruit and broth when you break the fast but any amount of time in between is immaterial unless your body runs out of fat to burn.

>>41707299

>mfw this influx of new fatfucks to fit gas basically turned fit into an anorexia tips forum.

B8 but how am I supposed to fast if I work 14 hours a day doing heavy manual labor?

>>41713296
Yeah. It doesn't feel like anything. It's dormant.

This is my third night of a 2 week fast. I've been doing EFs for about 6 months and I've lost 100lbs since last September just counting calories and exercising.

I'm hoping to drop the final 15 lbs by mid July, and I'm kicking this last run off with a 2-week water fast.

Glad to see people are still doing this, even given all of the hate Fungfags like me receive on this site. I think there are too many SS fats on here mad that they gained so much ass along with their 2pl8 deadlift.

>>41713345
>burning your fat can't give you enough energy for labor
It can.

>>41709151
it does but if your deficit is too high you'll find it hard to sleep

What are the benefits to fasting over a traditional /fit/ cut? Is this the skinny fat solution?

>>41714291
lel no
cutting is dangerous to those who with mental issue
fasting is the only solution

>>41714291
pros:
>lose weight faster
>reduce insulin sensitivity
>costs nothing
>maybe reduce/eliminate loose skin and scar tissue
>little to no hunger

cons:
>if you're an idiot about it you might fuck your shit up
>people think you're crazy
>can't partake in social eating and drinking

>>41713858
Just salt after a day or two of nothing. Caffeine every day.

Eat less sugar, wash your face, and don't touch your face. You don't need to do meme shit to lose acne.

>>41719090
no, fasting is like an extreme cutting tactic. not super extreme, but you're not going to want to do anything other than maybe light bodyweight stuff.

Oh good a fasting thread
a little over 48 hours now
I have a headache and my feet are cold

Drank half a block of broth over hours today
Got more zero calorie Powerade for electrolytes
I literally only feel better when I watch YouTube videos about all the benefits, so anything shitty that I feel might be my own freak out, first time I ever did a 36 hour fast, I woke up from bed a bit woozy so it scared me from going longer

Woke up today fine, if a bit nauseated, had coffee totally black (might be 40~ hour fast if you consider my last coffee breaking it, had a splash of heavy cream in it, under a tablespoon)
Going at least three days and see how I feel about ending it or going for five. I don't think I'm gonna do two weeks, I'd need bags of potassium,magnesium, and calcium powder for the simple peace of mind alone

>>41714408
accurate

I'd just say the risks are overblown. I did 40 days prior to the summer to shed off a hard bulk and it wasn't any different refeeding than with a week long fast. Drink a little juice with water, four hours, eat a little fruit, four hours, eat a few steamed veggies, sleep. Next day I'm always back to eating as normal.

>>41714428
That's a meme brah. I bulk year-round and cut with a long fast every spring, usually a month or so. Never lost more than a fraction off my max from doing so, just like any other cut.

>>41718532
Nope, you don't wanna lift on a long fast. Just stretch and do light shit, bodyweight if you must. You're cutting, not trying to build muscle. Do your lifting when the fast is over.

>>41722508
>broth
>powerade with suger sub
>caffiene

Doing it wrong man. Water fast only works when you're just drinking water. Electrolyte water is best, but you can just add a little salt to the regular water instead.

What you're doing right now is keeping your stomach in limbo with a little bit of nutrients. It won't shut down totally until there's nothing coming in but water. Until that happens you're going to have all kinds of problems. When the stomach finally shuts down and puts you on fat-storage-retrieval mode you'll feel 100% better. Takes about 48 hours from the time you go completely onto water only.

>>41722105
>not super extreme

Eating nothing is not super extreme cutting? How could you possibly cut faster without just carving shit off?

>>41722649
I have a hard time believing that, considering this is less than 12 oz of Powerade over 48 hours, coffee being zero calories and a water extract itself

you're gonna have to show me something that shows it matters, considering "a little salt" is not just water. I don't see how potassium and magnesium will be any different

Now of it's the sweetener, I see merit in that, since I've read any sweetener technically raises insulin but there is still no carbs or sugar going in

>>41721809
different anon but it's not that simple for everyone. for many people their acne is hormonal and doesn't go away from simply washing their face or eating better

>>41722836
Brah, I don't care if you make it or not, I'm just telling you how the water fast works. Zero-Cal Drinks and Coffee are still activating your digestion, a pinch of salt isn't. You can look that shit up if you're curious.

I'm doing 7 days.

I just finished reading Dr. Jason Fung's book. I'm entirely convinced it's the best thing I can do for my health, and I'm in dire need of the healing.

But I know it's gonna suck so hard, and there's a good chance I'll fail. Food is a drug that gives me a potent chemical reward, not unlike heroin or crack.

I'm gonna be seeing babies on the ceiling on day 3.

>>41710593
>It's because the body just goes nuts and wants to build tissue (i.e. muscle) once it finally does get some carbs.

What???? You just went full retard dude, yea you do get a good pump from carb refeeding, but that last part was utter bullshit

>>41713274
How much weight are you trying to lose ffs, 2 months on an already slim body might fucking kill you. an overweight person will lose around 4-8kg a week fasting on water, so if you're fasting for two months that's a little much... unless you're trying to lose like 50kg

>>41722649
That seems untrue, what nutrients can you possibly get from straight black coffee?
Drinking only water and black coffee has shown to work, look at every movie star that has had to cut?

Someone enlighten us please

>>41713310
In a state of ketosis (which is what fasting leads to) Protein is spared more minimally than if the person were to go on a cut.

What kind of salt should I use for water fasting? Just table salt?

Question regarding Creatine, preworkouts and energy drinks with 0-10 calories and no carbs/sugars.

Will it affect the fasting process or should I stick to ephedrine and black coffee?

>>41719330
Low GI carbs and a decent amount (for the size of your meals) of protein/fats.
If you start exercising your body will start to crave more food.

>>41707299

37 hours in, so the hardest part is over. Work in a restaurant so everything smells amazing. Have 3 10+ hour days in a row so not sure how this weekend will go on a fast but I'm aiming for a week.

>Try and keep coffee to a cup or two in the morning. Caffine can limit some of the benefits of green tea.

>Green tea is amazing. If you get hungry start sipping a hot cup of tea and by the time you're done you won't want to eat.

>Smart water can help with headaches because of the magnesium and a bit of lite salt can help with headaches.

Just some shit that helps me.

A normal person's fat oxidation is ~22 kcal per lb of adipose tissue. This won't be enough to cover a normal TDEE (which will cause some muscle catabolism) unless you have a ton of extra fat, or you have trained your body through prior fasts to increase fat oxidation.

I'm doing my first fast and I'm at day 15.

Looking leaner everyday but I really want to eat food. I feel energetic and have lots of free time now that I don't have to eat. It's strange. Either way I'll incorporate fasting into my cutting in the future.

Btw to everyone that asks what they could and could not eat, basically fasting is the ketogenic diet on the extreme. Your body starts burning on fats and if you consume carbs and stuff to break out of that state, you'll lose all cutting benefits. So expect the same rules for keto to work on fasting as well.

>>41735049
Got any tips? Do you take salt and multivitamins?

I'm happy to see this is more accepted nowadays.
I remember the hate I used to get circa 2010.

Whenever I cut it has to be fasting, I always fuck up regular calorie counting cuts. Who would have thought that not eating was easier than trying to eat less.

>>41735032
if you go on a pure fast you will lose muscle mass, but then again you will lose it on a cut as well.

Your body is not retarded tho, it will try to make the most of what it can out of the fat before it taps into the muscle to convert it into glucose for some organs that need it.

I recommend pure fasting just for phsycological and spiritual reasons but the best middle ground for cutting is 1 meal a day. That way you will prevent most of the muscle breakdown and still reap many benefits. And 16/8 if you are training hard.

That said you cant beat the fat loss of a pure fast.

Also dont worry if you look deflated, your muscles are mostly water and glycogen and you will lose most of it during an extended fast, you will look big when you eat again.

My vitamin D3 gummies (2000 IU) I take in the morning give me 15cal, but 3g of sugar and carbs.

Is that enough to fuck up the fast?

My normal multivitamin already gives me 800 IUs of D3, but I've always taken more becuase I live in an area of Washington state that rarely gets full sun. Do I even truly need more than 800?

I actually suspect some exercise will help prevent loss. Inactivity kills gains hard. I wouldn't shoot for progressing on a fast though... That's just my thoughts though
