When ketotards and vegan pussies and IF mongs and fad diet dumbos realized they won't lose weight no matter how hard they believe their own shit. So they stop eating at all. Because CICO MUST work right? It's science? RIGHT?
Fasting is really the last thing they can do before giving up.
did you miss the part about moving your body more? i have gained muscle too you dumbfrick
you think 2 years is slow but im satisfied with how my body is changing related to the amount of effort i choose to put in
Because that takes effort. Fad diets are barely a step above diet pills and other snake oil. It's the absolute bare minimum effort one can do to try to lose weight.
Yes exactly. It's not really something that can be monetized outside of shit like "secrets of fasting", monitoring devices/test strips, and supplements. None of which are needed. Just dont consume any calories, simple as. I guess the popularity of fasting videos comes from the fact that they get views. People get restless minds at points during fasting and if they are on the computer, many will seek out videos on fasting for solidarity.
Ive seen my fat CTO lose a shit ton of weight with doing intermitent fasting. If you commit to it and eat less but actual quality food, it works. Ive seen it with my own eyes. Believe me or not, I've already won. But yeah, just like with any trends, it gets oversold, its like at this point, we know how it works, just eat less lmao, no need multiple 3 hours podcast for that
Ideally you'd do like a 3 day fast once a month just as a reset
It's more of a maintenance thing than anything else
the people who claim to do weeklong fasts and even longer than that are just mentally ill fatsos (and they're probably lying)
Any sort of weight loss strategy always gets shilled just because of the sheer size of the weight loss industry. Fasting is no different.
That said, I’ve had good success with fasting before. For me, at least, it’s way harder to just eat a little bit than to not eat at all. But maybe I have an eating disorder, so who knows what it’s like for everyone else.
When Americans became involved. It's in their blood. I'm not even trying to be pejorative here (IST and the like probably wouldnt exist without it)- but it's true. As an Englishman it's fascinating to watch: As soon as they come upon an idea that appeals to them, they immediately start cultify-ing it- with the attendant ego attachment, quasi-spiritual and moral undertones (it always becomes about more than the activity in and of itself), doctrinal disputes, purity spirals, and proselytising to the disinterested masses. The (actual) English can be a little like this in everyday life (rooted to social class signifiers) - which is why I recognise it- but for Americans it's reducto ad absurdum.
Fasting (diets in general: vegan, carnivore, keto are particularly notable for it, probably because of their 'hard' exclusionary nature); circuit training (crossfit); strength training (Starting Strength, Westside, Redditor 'scientific' shit like BBM and Nuckols); jogging; cycling; triathlon; yoga. All have prime examples of this. It seems as if an American can't just pick a diet, mostly follow it, and start going to the gym twice a week. They have to incorporate it into their identity and start shoving it in other people's faces, wearing obnoxious t-shirts and the like.
It comes from insecurity and rootlessness. Hyper-individualism creates a stronger need for identity and community. We're all descendants of people that needed to escape west for one reason or another.
wonder what kind of pure evil causes people to seethe at the idea of humans improving their health via dietary means and try to cover up any related scientific breakthroughs
Mate, my mom had cancer and was doing chemotherapy, considering she vomited pretty much anything she ate she was fasting the whole time, she died in a month.
Frick off with this magic bullet bullshit.
If she ate anything, she wasn't fasting. Sorry about your loss.
>magic bullet
the point is to save an extra few people who can be saved, or potentially improve/lengthen the lifespan of those who cannot
this white/black mentality is often used by sociopaths who try to destroy progress

why dont they just eat less and move their bodies more? it's not fricking rocket science
its so simple my grandma knew, and she didnt even get to go to school because of fricking WW2.
>why dont they just eat less and move their bodies more? it's not fricking rocket science
have you tried it?
ive been doing it for the last 2 years
went from 117 kg to 94 kg
Two whole years of your life to lose 50lbs? That's pitiful.
did you miss the part about moving your body more? i have gained muscle too you dumbfrick
you think 2 years is slow but im satisfied with how my body is changing related to the amount of effort i choose to put in
yeah, dude was only losing 2 lbs a month. I could do that in like 2 or 3 months. Then spend the other 21 months bulking.
Because that takes effort. Fad diets are barely a step above diet pills and other snake oil. It's the absolute bare minimum effort one can do to try to lose weight.
Fasting is pretty damn far from a "fad diet" despite how it's marketed to people. It's literally eating nothing. It's that simple.
Yes exactly. It's not really something that can be monetized outside of shit like "secrets of fasting", monitoring devices/test strips, and supplements. None of which are needed.

Because the keto cult tells people you can eat bacon dipped in mayo limitlessly and lose weight

2 meals a day is basically fine for most people who live sedentary lives (note: going to the gym a few times a week counts as sedentary)
When did trannies start calling everything they lack the willpower to do a cult?
why are fasters constantly fasting?
If you have to fast for years to lose weight or just not get fatter, its obviolusly not working
Ideally you'd do like a 3 day fast once a month just as a reset

lmao isnt he a pedo?
Hes in prison for child rape yeah
Fasting always was part of religious cults anon. Don't let the death worshippers fool you. I can kill the stick-israelite with my bear hands.
edgy teen energy
Whoa you're a big boy aren't you
yeah I was born before 2008 unlike you
>The most clever atheist ladies and gentlemen.
Because it's modern day and no one can learn or use something without it becoming their entire identity

>listening to a guy who gained back all the fat for weight loss advice
lol
fasting doesn't work if you eat like a pig and cancel it afterwards
at least get in shape before you shill some shit.

Can any Americans explain why they do this?

never take advice from a fatty
Why would I take advice about fasting from a fat guy?
Everything is a cult if you look hard enough
>when did fasting become a cult?
When it was proven to work.
India about 3000 years ago
I'm not taking advice from an mfer who looks like a fatter joss whedon
wonder what kind of pure evil causes people to seethe at the idea of humans improving their health via dietary means and try to cover up any related scientific breakthroughs
>rat studies
>humans
>chemotherapy
You're fricking moronic, and doubly so for taking advice from a fat person about losing weight.

Social media. When you can post about it on social media.
I did a 4 or 5 day fast for Easter and lost like 10 lbs and set my lifting back like a month
