Thats cool I am into fasting and I know what you are talking about just not being hungry past a time you think you might be hungry. I found keeping moving to some moderate level quells the impulse to consume food.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Completed my first 72 hr last month. Considering another one this month bc it's honestly not much harder than 48 now that I've done it(which I've done quite a few of). Will usually do a longer one after a weekend where we did a lot of eating as I can tell my body feels fed.Gwad said:
How often you fasting 72 hours?UW_Doog_Bot said:Middle aged fatness fupdate that no one will care about but idgaf.
Down 20lbs since the rosebowel. 30lbs since this time last year.
Lots of Hiit jumping rope. I'm actually getting pretty good. Double unders sustained for 20 seconds at a tim now.
Regularly walking several miles a day now which helps with the soreness from jumping rope.
Have also been doing intermittent fasting but jumped from being able to do 16-24 hrs at a time to 24-72 hrs and it's surprisingly not that much harder.
Looking forward to fitting back in my wetsuit and going surfing again. -
Yes muscle recovery from longer fasts was a pleasant surprise.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Well the most obvious thing is that it creates a caloric deficit. If your body burns say 2,500 calories a day, and you only have one decent meal in that timespan, you've created about a 6,500 calorie deficit. That's equivalent to more or less 8 hrs of intense cardio(which your body probably can't do in a 72 hr period unless you are in extremely good shape).creepycoug said:
What does that do? What's the effect on metabolism and all that shit?UW_Doog_Bot said:

From a metabolism standpoint, there's lots of stuff going on. I'll leave it at the old thinking that your metabolism will come to a crawl is incorrect, especially if you continue to exercise. You are also probably not losing anymore muscle than that 8hrs of cardio would destroy either anyways. Your body is also going to produce HGH naturally from this as a response to stress similar to weightlifting. That's a good thing.
From a long term health perspective it's actually shown to help with hormone and blood sugar regulation, cell regeneration/regulation, prevention of cancer and cell aging, and a bunch of other stuff. Look up autophagy if you feel like going down a DDY'esque research hole. -
I'm curious, what's the longest fast you have done? I'm considering doing a longer than 72 hr fast but haven't committed to it yet.Gwad said:

I hear you can last a full 25 years if you manage it correctly.UW_Doog_Bot said:

We can’t all be boujee, rich, and have hot wives.YellowSnow said:
Pour, shitty sales people of the world unite!!dirtysouwfdawg said:I have a diet for you... it’s called stress.
Raise 4 helluns with the help of a heffer you don’t want to be with, stressful sales manager job that doesn’t pay shit and drink a piss ton of coffee and caffeine all day every day.
Occasionally mix a weekend of non-stop day drinking and you have the makings for an excellent weight loss program.
EDIT: @creepycoug please let me know how that Indian glazed dick bacon tastes. I’m very intrigued. Kinda aroused... -
I know. But I’m a shitty sales guy too.dirtysouwfdawg said:

But what does this even mean?Swaye said:
I could eat 12 bacon wrapped hot dogs right now and not even fart.UW_Doog_Bot said:I'm not really in the business of selling diet fads but I've been experimenting with IF since before it became THE new thing and it has worked for me. Initially, all it meant was replacing breakfast with coffee(which I drink black anyways) to reduce my caloric intake for the day. I've had experience with cutting from both lifting and wrestling before this as well. I found that one good meal a day where I felt satisfied was a lot easier to maintain than even a consistent 200 calorie a day deficit with my meals spread out. Plus, it's a lot less restrictive when things like holidays, vacations, and events come up(rosebowl bacon wrapped hot dogs ftw).
