I'm going for a 10 day water fasting to lose a little weight plus health benefits. I'll drink electrolytes everyday after day 3.Is it completely safe?
>>77201487didn't that guy die in his late 50s? didn't seem like the fasting helped
>>77201495It helps, but can't perform miracles. His body paid the price for having 200+ kilos all his life.
>>77201487You'll probably be fine, unless you are already underweight. The dangerous part of extended fasting is re-feeding syndrome, so eat lightly when you break your fast and you'll be fine. Drink electrolytes every day though, you feel like shit without it.
>>77201487It's safe, I've done a week and barely felt different. I would argue that it's pointless though, you will genuinely downregulate your metabolism so much that a strict diet would work better. When I did a week I was constantly cold, lethargic, barely had energy to think...Instead, just do a very low calorie diet with almost nothing but protein (protein-sparing modified fasting).You can still work out, too.
>>77201700What about three days once a month when cutting to just help speed it along?
>>77201703Won't have much of a impact on average calories plus you'll be more likely to engage in binge eating behavior, honestly.
>>77201487have fun destroying your thyroid and metabolism idiot
>>77201700If it was for health benefits, you would do 3-4 days every half a year to a year.But yes:Strict diet + some exercise to increase the TDEE has no downsides.What you do want with fasting is to experience that hunger is a illusion, but energy levels is not.
>>77201783will fasting help get rid of my love handles?
>>77201791Not more than any other type of weight loss.
>>77201487Great if you are a retard, and since you post on 4chan that means it's perfect for you.
>>77201700weird, by day 5 I feel like I'm on meth, but yeah the constant cold thing is real
>>77201998>by day 5 I feel like I'm on methExpand on that?
>>77202014very wired, aggressiv thoughts, just full of cortisol and adrenaline
>>77202014When you fast your body produces chemicals that are similar to GHB a kind of rave drug
>>77202021>>77202031I never felt like that even on the 7 day 0 calorie fast I mentioned. I've been naturally skipping breakfast and lunch my entire life so maybe I'm just built different.The only "mental" side I got was being able to smell bakeries and cafes from up to three blocks away like fucking Spiderman or something.
>>77202327yoooo i get that. i call it hunter mode. even when i used to smoke cigarettes i got it. i could sniff out a croissant hidden in a pantry a mile away.
