Fasting for a day?

[MenacingMonk]

I just saw the movie Gandhi and it got me intrigued. I plan on fasting for a day (started at 1:10 today) and wondered what are the benefits of a one day fast. I might plan on doing it once a week from now on.

To clarify, you can only drink water, right?

A real fast abstains from everything. But you can make it partially restrictive to everything but water. Not sure of the benefits I know it has some metabolic impacts.

i wouldnt do it is it really worth fukking with your insulin levels and more? your body needs energy i wouldnt just stop consuming things but thats just me

Giving your digestive system a break makes sense to me. Especially if u eat alot depending on your diet.

If my digestion starts to act up, I typically go on a clear liquid fast for no more than 48 hours and I typically see improvement.

Why does that make sense to you? Does our digestive system need a break?

Placebo

Breh have you ever worked out on a empty stomach before ?

Its amazing i now get up at 7am to work out and i give it my all man .

My cardio is getting better and better .


I use to feel weak if i didnt eat but i think that had to do with me working out later in the day.

Now 2 hours of hard work in the gym and im goodie

It's definetly personal preference. My best workouts are 9-11:00AM on the weekends fasted and then fasted during the week in the morning. Lifting at night is still it or miss and no chance I'm doing cardio after lunch time.

I can do fasted cardio I cannot do fasted lifting. Even fasted HIIT cardio is a strugglefor me.

placebo effect nah breh hardly

Before I became vegan, I fast for 3 months. I drink alkaline water for those 3 months. I felt so much better. We're all grown ups...hell, I even kept hard for even longer. I thought I was already physcially fit, played sports, stayed in the gym but my blood wasn't pure. Once my system was clean, I've never looked back. Fasting has lasting effect which is positive.

blackseed oil and akaline water would help with the energy lost

I used to spar during Ramadan, it's hard as hell but not impossible.

Fasting won't kill you and like dude upstairs said it may or may not be placebo but you do tend to go harder
