never trust a fart while fasting. dont know how long i was walking around like this lol. i went on a run, was at the gym and walking around the dorm while wearing these shorts without any idea of my poopy pants. only saw it when i took them off to take a shower. oh well. i repeat, never trust a fart while fasting.

You don't need any of these stupid guides, URL links or videos. Just stop eating for a couple days. You think all of the determined and religious Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, and members of all the other religions thousands of years ago knew what snake juice was, or had some fitness grifter telling them how to stop eating in some magic specific way?

Stop making basic biology so convoluted. Its beyond cringe

Why tf does this happen? I did a fast when me and my wife barely knew each other as teen and shit myself. I ate chicken enchildas my mom made and felt better afterwards.

it's the last stage of purification when your body discards the corruption left by parasites in your intestinal lining. parasites don't just live inside you. they also shit inside you. once they have starved to death, your body can expel that vileness. that's why people shit their pants during a fast.
>>
>>77217738
yeah, no shit fatty
>>
>>77217929
>its this guy again
Sorry you're so upset
>>
>>77217947
how did you glean being upset or being some "guy" with only a 4 word response?
i'm not mad, and not whoever you're thinking of, just saying your epic biting takedown of the op links/resources is unimpressive
>>
>>77218372
>calling someone fatty out of nowhere immediately in response to a factual statement thats neutrally worded is totally normal and is coherent in a pleasant and non disrupted state of mind
Like I said, I'm sorry you're so upset.

Isn't it impossible to preserve muscle on a fast? The weight loss is mostly glycogen, water and muscle mass. Why not do protein-sparing modified fast instead?
>>
>>77219245
>protein-sparing fast
it’s not possible. the moment the human body runs out of glycogen stores it starts to burn fat and muscle for energy. over time that process gets skewed towards fat catabolism but there will always be a non-negligible amount of protein being catabolized for energy

is there any way to make the snake juice not taste like piss?
I can last 5 days of fast without it but once my muscles feel too weak to even walk I have to drink it and having a mouth that feels like it's just constantly full of piss is unbearable so I just end up eating when I could have fasted much longer
>>
holy dead
>>
Breaking a 4 day dry fast now and holy shit I hate coconut water. I was told it would taste like the best thing ever after not drinking for 4 days but nope, it's going to be more effort sipping this over the next couple of hours than it was just doing nothing.

Dry fast

Anons, I want to fast, but I have health issues related to it and need some advice. The biggest issue I have when I fast is that I struggle to sleep at all. Perhaps due to the fluctuation in hormones, I just struggle to fall asleep or maintain staying asleep. I have a lot of chronic stress, and when I try to fast nowadays, it just feels harder to breathe, and my chest tightens up. I become more hyper-vigilant, and it becomes harder to relax. If I did somehow manage to sleep, it wouldn't be more than two hours.

I used to fast very regularly ll many years ago, but I've had a lot of bad shit happen in that time and gotten older, so it's just become very hard. It's not as simple as saying "just don't eat lol" when I am left exhausted from insomnia and physically stressed every time. What can I do to change this?

Is the guy who was doing one meal a week still going
>>77217721
Dude no one wants to see that shit
