The Science of Fasting (3 Viewers)

[Madmarsha]

I have been dangerously ignoring this thread. Read: I HAVE BEEN EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR. This is one of my favorite u tube channels. This isn't about fasting but since fasting IS kinda all about how the body works, Imma put this here. It's science!!



And this video is a good accompaniment to the same subject:

you forget i live in a 3rd world state
i've actually tried to steer my wife away from mostly wine consumption to edibles - it's been a process

I just got approved for medical marijuana and the process is a joke. I didn't have to provide one scrap of evidence of my medical issues

I’ve done 1 to 2 month keto diets before with no problem. Started up again 7 days ago and I feel like I have the “keto flu” for the first time.

Head feels dizzy. Fatigue. Sense of feeling cold. Strange. They say it’s temporary.

Edit: very good chance I’m sick.

Ugh I really didn't do well over the holidays. Getting back on track now

This was my crack and the weird thing is I don't even like chocolate mint usually. Thank God the holidays are over

I'd planned on a fast. Haven't gotten there yet. OMAD and calories are restricted tho.

I'm getting back on keto with intermittent fasting before I do a fast

I did a five-day fast after Thanksgiving and got to a pretty good place. I blew all of that progress to shirt over the Christmas holiday. Gonna readjust my diet to something smarter and see if I can get my weight back to the range I'd like to be. Probably going to wait to do a fast to start Lent. Those are usually my most successful.

I didn't eat even a single cookie, not a bit of added sugar, barely any carbs, not a single drop of alcohol, over the entire holiday. Worst thing I ate was a few cheesy potatoes. It wasn't necessarily easy, especially avoiding the cookies, but very rewarding now that it's over.

Every time I was tempted I just focused on how awful I'd feel afterwards -- that and I know a small amount of anything never satisfies me. I don't want a cookie, I want a dozen cookies.

I was horrible over Christmas. Had the whole week off and my wife and kids baked A LOT. Just completed a 106 hour fast this morning. First time I ever went triple digits. Probably won’t do it again, but am doing fairly frequent 44-48 hour fasts.

I did lose over 12 lbs this week. I’ll see how much of that comes back as water weight this weekend as I start eating a little again.

My longest was 14 days. Probably not a good idea, but I had extenuating circumstances. I think it would be best to do under supervision if going that long.

I still like to get 7 day fasts a couple times a year since watching the video in here by Dr Jamnadas.

Back on the horse and just did a 24 hour fast. I was pretty bad in November and December

I am not that concerned with a long fasts anymore.....just going to do more frequent short ones

Delta 8 is available pretty much anywhere in the country, and is an acceptable "legal" alternative.
