When it is well document it increases HGH, extends your life, and reduces your grocery bill.

I tried to convince my wife this morning to join me fasting until evening and skipping breakfast and lunch, explained her the benefits. She was just like "nah" and grabbed a banana for the road. Wtf

At least skip breakfast or have at least a zero carb breakfast FFS

Nah, loading up on bananas and bread hehe

No food for 28 hours and counting. Not sure if I want to do 48 hours . Would kind of like some supper tomorrow srs

No real benefits over traditional calorie restricting diets... Though I do it every day and fast when Im sleeping..

nah
when you sleeping is not callled fasing
but fisted by your boyfriend
homo

I only did a 3 day fast once, about 2 years ago. It was surprisingly easy to do but only because I really set my mind to it.

I usually do about 20 hour fasts max

Wrong

7 days? Miron

If you do prolonged fasting, your first meal has to be really light. You might even have to be careful for the whole day during re-feeding after a multi day fast.

I've done a few multiple day fasts. The first one I ever did was 72 hours I think, and I ate at least a pound of cheese with tostadas and hot sauce, plus a bunch of other things to break my fast. I learned the hard way to ease into eating again. My torso had this weird pain for a few hours and it wasn't comfortable.

Why ? What did you learn?
After my 72 hour fast I ate a huge plate of jollof rice with goat

No side effects, just that my usual back pain came back

in 2024 I started not eating breakfast until afternoon, sometimes I only eat between 5pm and 8pm, and go to bed.


It gets pretty easy once your body adjusts to simply not eating food until dinner time...


it helps to have ZERO calories until then, so all liquid must be sugar free or no milk in coffee etc.

I added a sentence to my post about what it felt like. It was a strong dull pain in most of my torso

Now that we have all our humble bragging out of the way, can we get on topic? Namely, how it is mindblowing how the average person does not entertain the idea of implementing IF even after you explain them the proven benefits

I do it a lot without even trying

It's convenient. I skip breakfast and lunch all the time

I like not having to bring lunch to work or eat the got slop that is close by


What is funny is everyones reaction, they act like I'm going to die or something if I don't eat for 10 hours. Usually they are shocked and occasionally some boomer will tell me I am going to wreck my metabolism, yeah like hunter gatherers ate on the dot every 4 hours.

It's not that big of deal but they are so dramatic about it

Yes and what is very odd is that for fucking YEARS the same people will express confusion and bewilderment when you don't eat at lunch despite having explained it many times

Food and drinks are for the weak if you can survive months or even years without them what's the point of taking them in. It's just an addiction and no addictions is true way of freedom.

Used to do it everyday

Now I do it 3-4 times per week

Thx for the heads up , appreciate it bruh . Ya my friend mentioned this to , he said go light lol . I was thinking a steak and a potato?

Anyways I was all happy at 3 am . I checked my blood sugar and it went down to 6.8 . Then I get up right now thinking I should be lower yet , but I get a reading of 9.6?
I’m heading out for a walk soon and feeling pretty good . As a matter of fact I wasn’t hungry whatsoever when I got up , and just took my magnesium, potassium and some sea salt .
If I make it till 9 pm tonight that will be 48 hours , but that’s not a good time to eat so dunno .
Maybe I’ll eat late afternoon and call it a day . As good as I feel I just noticed I got a little light headed as I moved my head too quickly, but otherwise I’m feeling half decent .




This is my first time ever and it’s actually gotten easier as time goes on, which is totally surprising. I probably have enough fat stored that I could go a few weeks lol , but I don’t want to push it that hard .
I’m 38 hours into the fast atm and still going strong .

Higher morning blood sugar is known as the dawn phenomenon. Here's a brief explanation of it


High morning blood sugar is primarily caused by the dawn phenomenon,
a natural surge of counter-regulatory hormones like cortisol and growth
hormone between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m. that signals the liver to release
glucose for energy. In individuals with diabetes, the body often lacks sufficient insulin or is too
insulin-resistant to counteract this rise, resulting in elevated fastingglucose levels.

I do this but with alcohol. No beer for 16 hours everyday then as much as i want in an 8 hour window. Sometimes the 8 hour window turns into 72 hours though.

No thanks Jeff.

Gjdm, it's all in the mind

Ok I went for a walk , then when I got home I thought I’d grab my camera gear and go to a location where the Osprey are feeding their newborns .
All of the sudden I got super light headed and said fk it ,it’s not worth taking a chance passing out.
I think the problem is it’s not a great idea to over do anything while you’re in this weak state
