Is this broscience or real shit
Full disclosure i wrote that post
i'm 400lbs
I've been able to water fast for a week before but now longest i can go is 2 days
If this is real: how long would i have to push myself to kill my entire gut biome and permanently develop better habits
if you believe in god, take a pen and draw the cross on your hand so you remind yourself each action is for christ and when you do bad, you dishonor his name by doing bad in his name.
Not him but you seem religious. I'm interested in reading the Bible. New and old testament. Never been religious so I know frick all. Do I just get any king james Bible or are there different versions?
full fat yogurt and other real dairy products bro, cheese half and half and the like. I lost almost 100 pounds in 2 months 260 - 170 just fasting and making sure I ate dairy. itll unfrick ur gut real quick. good luck man
couldn't you just take a course of antiobiotics and also maybe do an anti parasite thing
idk someone else weigh in that's what I would do
and then also just fast
>400 lbs
It's too late. At this point you might as well ought to just keep stuffing your face forever, because even if you lost it, you'd just be a horrifying loose skin golem.
yes, if he keeps on stuffing his face he won't even need to deal with his obesity as he can just die before the feelings of regret and shame ever catch up to him
Yes gut bacteria are very important for mood, no they are not why you have this pathological habit. You very clearly have an ED. Get help.
If you refuse to get medical help, try changing your ways 1 thing at a time.
Swap to water. Include fruit or veg in your binge.
Try eating before you walk (lots of meat, fruit/veg, "good" carbs like rice lentils or potato) walk a different longer route, walking to a different shop, and using a shopping list of good foods to buy first. Check the receipt of how much that costs and ensuring you only have that much money available to you before you go shopping.
Each little thing will build up to more excercise, less junk and make it easier to change your ways when you're feeling strong 1 day.
It's not about the strong days or even the normie days, it's about not collapsing on the dogshit days.
You need to build more good gut bacteria. You need to eat more fiber from plants (roughage) to achieve this. You could take a supplement but the best way would to just eat a diet full of fruits and veggies. You can still add in meat and cheese and stuff to make it all tasty but as long as the majority of what you eat is plants (cooked by you, not processed garbage) then you will begin to rebuild your gut bacteria. Take VSL #3 to boost the process. It is expensive, but much less expensive in the long run than all the food you eat or the health issues you will have from being fat. It is the only one proven to work in studies.
its possible. take multiple (very important) different antibiotics until you develop severe diarrhea. at this point your gut is fried. now take 30 days of pro-biotics, eat healthy. gut reset. potentially very dangerous, be careful not to dehydrate. if you keep slopping during this dont bother
You are looking for quick fixes. That's the problem, you didn't get to 400lbs overnight so stop trying to lose it that way.
Eat proteins, carbs and fats, don't skip meals. Always have good food available at your house so that you don't get cravings. Track your calories but don't become too obsessed, it's okay if 2-3 days a month you go a bit overboard. Walk a bit. Hit the gym and get stronger. Sleep 8 hours. Leave time for yourself to enjoy whatever you enjoy. Look back in a year from now and see how long you've gone instead of yo-yoing.
Ngmi don't even bother. I'm honestly impressed you can walk 2 miles straight at 400 lbs. Why would you want to stop the only healthy thing you do? >Ps the answer is easier than you think, just replace junk food with steak, chicken, rice, some tasty vegetables, and keep walking the 2 miles.
I save like 60%+ of my salary, equating to many 10s of thousands of dollars a year, but i spend over a grand in coke zero. I stopped for a couple months once just to prove to myself that I could, but once i knew i could i just said frick it and kept going.
There's something i love about downing two of them every morning at work, and the ritual of going to the vending machine to grab two of them even though i could buy in bulk cheaper.
Been having my dentist monitor from any issues but he says as long as im not sipping throughout the day and i'm rinsing with water i'm probably good.
I'm going to do invisalign to fix some crowding though, i'll have to quit then.
Why this blogpost? Idk, probably because i have some idea of that guys mental state with this small vice of mine.
Had a similar thing but with Pepsi Max. I downed 1.5-2L in the morning. Was very addicting. Only stopped because too much volume and pee a lot after it
the solution is just to stop thinking compulsively. or allow your mind to be compulsive about other shit instead, which can be very hard because it could require a large lifestyle adjustment. significantly busier schedule, something like that.
ive found that i have a pretty damn good work ethic in stressful situations because of that natural compulsiveness and sense of stress and restless unease when something isnt "done".
it also has a lot to do with comfort and overreliance on it or oversensitivity to it. that doesnt have a practical solution, only through consciously thinking through your deep psyche.
basically i dealt with this really badly from the ages of 19-23. only consciously realized it as a problem at 21, and now at almost 25 i genuinely think im finally fricking cured. all it took was wasting my youth.
That kind of compulsive behavior is more than just poor impulse control. He is mentally ill and has an eating disorder, he needs to see a mental health professional.
Food addict trying to convince himself he earned today's face-stuffing by burning a single piece of bread's worth of calories. It will only get worse. Protip, you don't exercise your way out of being a fatty, you just put down the fricking fork (or in your case, being a fat, I should say cellophane wrapper)
The gut bacteria have full control

Get the Robert Alter bible translation for the old testament.
Thanks I'll do that
What version of New testament should I get then? I do plan on reading through all of it and don't really know what to get.
why do you need a seperate new and old testament dude just get a bible? mine is a RSV bible published by oxford press
don't get a king james bible
that's for anglican homosexuals
If you wanto to kill bacteria just take antibiotics, seriously, some of them cause diarrhoea as a side effect for this very reason
Drink a big glass of germicide to kill all of the bacterias.
Fasting is the only way back

It's not about wiping everything out, you just need the right stuff growing in there.
I don’t know about gut bacteria, but a 48-hour fast will kill my after-dinner sweet tooth stone dead.
eat clean food at maintenance for a week and then cut the calories
lean meats, starches, fruits, vegetables, avoid anything processed
>400 lbs

its broscience. You have bad habits because you're addicted to food. You need therapy, not IST.
If you really want to fix your gut bacteria, eat raw aged meat (beef is safest). Sv3ride calls it High Meat. It's an acquired taste.
there is something existentialist and postmodern about this, ameriblob mode meets sisyphus mode

I was addicted to pepsi max and fixed it by switching to sparkling water, now I basically just drink still water.
hooooly christ i used to have this problem

I believe this is a form of OCD
I might be wrong but it seems to somewhat line up
Both your and OPs post
Do Americans really consider a 2 mile walk to get shopping difficult?

It takes 30+ days of forcing yourself to do the right thing before it becomes your new habit. Then it will come naturally
