[The Mad Titan]

I've been wanting to fast but only for like 48 hours tops. I might try it soon.

I recommend you do intermittent fasting before prolong fasting

 

[Marc Spector]

shyt makes me sick thinking about it.

I could do 24-36. Anything more than that and id be throwing in the towel. Props to who can do it.

Well look brehs

I've been intermittent fasting for well over a year now. I usually eat in a 4-6 hour window - aka Warrior Diet

It's the shyttttt I'm telling yall. All my lifts at ATHs and this fat keeps on burning

Still gotta watch your calories. I do IF but I can also smash 4k calories in one sitting.

 

[Swagaveli]

Definitely breh. Although, when doing IF with mostly quality whole food, it's REALLY hard to go over your calories. I actually sometimes have to throw in protein shakes to get to even maintenance (2600 kcal for me)

The hunger craving goes away after the 2nd day

Is it true after the 2nd day you achieve a mental clarity like meditation? That's the only thing that's ever drawn me to a water fast.

The "mental clarity" is from the stress hormone spike one gets as a response to... you guessed it... stressors. In this case, low blood sugar. A real water fast restricts the persons activities tremendously. There's easier ways to go about achieving "mental clarity" if that's your only goal. Low carb, intermittent fasting, stimulants like caffeine and ephedrine, precursors like tyrosine, and general exercise will supply this "mental clarity" to varying degrees.

I did a 48 hour fast at the end of last week where I also didn't watch porn the entire week also. Not a nut in sight. The toilet roll still all there. No crust in underwear.

When I saw my broad on Monday after work, it felt like...

Yes. Because water cleanses your system. Healthwise you are supposed to do this every month. In some cultures this is practiced in everyday life as the norm especially in parts of Asia where Hindus do Yoga.

You think about trying dry fasting where you don't eat food or drink water?
