How do I prepare myself for (Water) fasting? I've been eating like a pig for the past two weeks and I've put on a lot of size. I know if I fast for a month I could lose 22 pounds of pure fat. The issue is every time I attempt fasting I end up delaying it by "One day" and the cycle continues.
>Inb4 "Just diet"
I have a horrible relationship with food and I have zero self-control/discipline. I hate being fat and I want to make a change, however. Any advice, even if it's ripping into me, is appreciated
homie you’re not gonna go from eating like shit straight into a 30 day fast
Start with OMAD and once can you comfortably do that, do alternate day fasting.
Buy fasting salt capsules.
Every time you get hungry, have a capsule.
Fill your day with activities that aren't food related.
Go to sleep early.
accept you cant get skinny overnight and start counting calories and working out if you wouldve done this youd have already made it but alas here we are.
Don't listen to anyone telling you you cant do it. Just take electrolytes/ minerals (salt if you have nothing else) the first few days will suck for you but you'll get used to it. Just fast with only water and those, maybe some tea/coffee, until you reach your desired goal weight. after that take advantage of your new gains and regulated leptin/ghrelin and avoid carbs entirely for a minimum of a week or two. Trust. I have fasted 25 days before, only stopped to get back into the gym.
You're about to lose all that size you gained if you do a 30 day fast
Don't do long fasts. You will lose weight and fat, but it will come at a very high cost. You will lose ton of muscle, will have high inflammation in the body, weaken your joints and tendons which will increase risk of injury when you return to heavy training. At most do 4-5 day water fasting.
>fasting mistakes
biggest fasting mistake people do is drinking too much water. You need less water when you don't eat. Keep it under two liters.
>fasting
>increased inflammation
>lose a lot of muscle
The body goes through autophagy (eating of bad cells, cancer). The body also produces growth hormone as well. The body is intelligent enough in design to avoid processing muscle until all else is used.
>higher inflammation
This goes against common knowledge within fasting.
>higher injury risk
It's possible.
>drinking too much water
>when you don't eat you need less
STFU moron. You need more water, as water is also found in food. However, you need to drink it MORE often, and with electrolytes.
>Keep it under two liters
Again STFU.
t. Have done multiple extended fasts of 3, 4 and 5 days.
I realized I needed to consume electrolytes before and during my fast more consistently, as I drink Reverse Osmosis (pure) water.
>extended fasts of 3, 4 and 5 days
I do a 7 day fast once a month and don't even consider that extended. An extended fast is 15 days or more.

>The body goes through autophagy (eating of bad cells, cancer). The body also produces growth hormone as well. The body is intelligent enough in design to avoid processing muscle until all else is used.
Yeah, that's why you shouldn't do it for longer than 4-5 days.
>This goes against common knowledge within fasting.
During fasting inflammation decreases initially, but starts to increase after a certain amount of time.
>You need more water, as water is also found in food.
When we eat food our stomach uses a lot of water to help with digestion. If you don't eat you need less water. When body burns fat it also releases water which further decreases the need for water.
>no longer than 4-5 days
Yes you can. You acclimate to it. I've done it 4 times in one month. I've never lost muscle.
>inflammation
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that, as Idk about that.
>muh less water
Go frick yourself. You're worse than some posioning-the-well israelite who advocates for dry fasting but for extended periods (not shaming those who do it for 24 hours).
I literally completed a 120 hour fast a month ago. I needed water, so I topped off, avoiding having to chug all at once.
The body goes through its glycogen stores in about 36h. That's up to 6.6 lbs of water average. Water is 8lbs per gal. We need 1 gal max a day. Miles may vary but you're way off.
Stop buying shit to keep in the house. You can't binge what isn't there. Don't keep any snacks, if they're there, the temptation is there too. I dropped most of my weight by not keeping snacks or easy meals like anything microwavable or quickly heated in the oven in my home.
I've tried fasting and honestly the worst of it was the snake juice I had. Tasted fricking horrible and activated my gag reflex.
Are fasting capsules a israeli trick or can I just take 2 a day and drink normal actual water instead?
So how many hours of fasting can you do before your body starts burning muscle?
Do strict carnivore for one week prior to the fast.
Today I'm starting a 10 day fast.
Yesterday was my 10th day of carnivore.
LET'S FRICKING GOOOOOO!!!!
>adopting unsustainable dietary habits to fix your chronic weight problem
Being normal is a lifestyle choice. You and everyone else in this thread telling you to fast is a fricking subhuman moron
>fasting is unnatural for humans
Kys, you fricking israelite
How'spossible that people on this /board are ALWAYS hungry/starving?
>muh how can i cut appetite
>muh how can normies not snacking between 700 kcal calories meals
>muh how can i stp craving 7 double McCheese n triple fries after a big lunch
Cure your fricking hormonal imbalance (insuline resistence/pre diabete) and/or binge eating disorder for the God's sake, people outside here aren't hungry 24/7/365 or think about food everytime
Food addiction, eating when bored, mouth feel, fat fricks (like me).
Always had easy access to food, you need to rewire your brain to stop eating.
>Always had easy access to food
I'm a slav (non zigger/rusky) old millenial, i was literally starving when i was a child under commies and now i've easy acces to food. By this western logic now i would binge eat all day long.
This is moronic.
''Fasting, hating goyslop seed oils alcohol and taking tons of supplements like ashwagandha and purging with miles and miles of walking and biking etc etc and then for one/two WHOLE DAYS weekly literally fill your stomach until it explodes with the same things ''you'' hate.
C'mon this isn't ''FIT'' in any possible way,
>I'm a slav
my deepest condolences
You still have an eating disorder and you're fat and you will never be happy and satisfied with your body and life
>implying fasting is an eating disorder
Lmao what a homosexual.
This is your brain on Hollywood propaganda.
You pathetic fricking simp
>B-b-but at least I'm not a russian
>At least i have all the right opinions (that i got from media, tv series and r*ddit)
Lmao, kys
>I'm a slav (non zigger/rusky)
Ah so you're a liberashka?
Well I've heard it on good authority that if you suck a troony's dick at a gay parade, while letting another one sodomize you, then you will finally become White European (tm)
Well go on!! Time to prove you aren't a zigger!
If you cant diet you cant water fast. Water fasting is a lot harder. A simple diet with only 500 ~700 calorie deficit is easy but you gotta have the patience to stick to it for months or even up to a year.
Buy a chocolate cake for each day you fast and eat them all at the end.
Stop eating now for today and tomorrow, then go back to eating but eat no carbs or sweeteners whatsoever.
Treat sugar like a drug.
After a few days you can go back to fasting. The cravings will be reduced and the oxalate dumping delayed.
Don't overdo fasting early on, fat will leech chemicals and garbage - that will make you feel horrible, but overdo it and you will actually incur physical harm.
Start fasting while on a kleto diet. 3-4 days of keto should ready you for a fast. If you fail at keto - steak, eggs and bacon FFS - youre going to fail at fasting. Fasting IS ketosis, so if youre already in ketosis it should be easier.
just don't eat food homie it's literally that easy
drink some water when you feel bad
god damn people are analyzing a literal encoded biological process like it's learning to fly an airplane or do nuclear engineering
it's not gonna be easy, you've been shoveling shit into you fricking face your whole life, the more you do it the easier it gets
anything more than 10 days I don't think is worth it, you're probably gonna just gain all the weight you might lose back in no time because you are clearly won't stick to a healthy diet and exercise after you break your fast, but maybe the self discipline you learn will carry over, why not start eating better and exercising for at least a few days first
