There's a lot of people in the scientific community who seem to believe very strongly in the health benefits of extended fasts. I'm naturally curious and want to give it a shot. You're talking to a guywho ate the world's hottest pepperfor fun and alsobugs and soyfor lunch last week.

I don't know exactly what it is, but there's a ton of into out there that suggests you experience a bunch of benefits when your body doesn't use energy for digesting food. Think about it, even 100 years ago humans weren't getting 3 squares a day.

I'm just saying I think small amounts of food would do the same thing. Boiled eggs for lunch and breakfast with plenty of vegetables and fruits

I imagine most people who Fast eat crappy food making them feel crappy, so they go on this detox route.

If you're eating a balanced diet and avoiding fast food I see no reason to fast

You should start a youtube channel where you do all that stuff on camera. Vlog your water fast, I bet you'd get tons of views.

They also weren't eating highly processed lunch meat, fatty burgers, high sodium fries and sugary drinks.

Finished 10 1/2 days a few weeks ago, nothing but water. lost about 17 lbs.

brb skin tight, clear, and smooth af
brb senses elevated
brb auto****y
brb jawline and cheek bones
brb veins in stomach

Around day 5 getting up from a seated or supine position requires time since bp and energy has cliff dived, you'll get light headed but used to it

OP I'd be surprised if you made it, the jump from 40 hours to 10 days is like training for a couple miles running and then attempting a marathon.

So you worked your way up to 10.5 days?

What was the progression pattern?

There are claims that fasting produces metabolic advantages over sustained low calorie diets through induced hormonal changes. Eating 500 calories a day could be substantially worse than eating nothing for an extended period of time in terms of BMR.

The whole idea that the human body would ignore fat stores and just jump into consuming muscle and limiting energy as soon as food intake stops is seriously retarded. It's crazy that people actually believe that theyneedto eat every day, let alone more than once a day.

I'm going at least six days on my current one. Challenge decreases substantially after day two. I don't really see why this couldn't go on indefinitely with a bit of sodium intake, presuming adequate body fat.

Started with IF
1 day
2 day
3 day
7 day
10.5 day

This was over the course of 5 years, I've failed a ton all within the first 48-72 hours, after that hunger recedes, and feels the same after day 5 and beyond.

Depending on your body fat, it shouldn't be that big of a deal to jump into a longer fast. Just don't be a giant pussy and it's much easier than lifting IMO.

I am stubborn as a mule, son. And now it's on the misc and you called me out! I can't have the shame of failure following me around like hair on fire brah.

Walked about 3 miles today. Going to try to at least walk daily as long as I have the energy. Only 1 tiny bowel movement today. Not sure what to expect going forward.

Expect tar sludge liquid **** that cakes on your ass like thick mud. Or little rabbit turdlets of the darkest hue.

Intermittent strong desire for food mixed with mental ecstasy and mood elevation. It's quite a ride.

Did you do anything for hunger pains? My stomach is feeling pretty acidic right about now. I assume that'll taper off?

I'm willing to bet the greatest mind of our time, Joe Rogan, is all about fasting.

why not just commit to a regular diet...

all these sensationalist "fasts" and "detox diets" starting popping up when twitter became the #1 news source

40 hours once a week is GOAT. Gets all the bloat out of you. No point going beyond 48 hours.

Reminds me that I need to get back on IF.

It's soooooooo hard though. Hunger is a helluva drive.
Most of the benifits you get from fasting can be achieved from a less extreme caloric deficit.

Best friend always had muscle but just ate too much so he got fairly big. He started fasting (basically just eating less) and lost 40 pounds. Now he's my size and shredded. Never felt better in his life
