48 hour fast. No food alcohol weed

[keithrichard]

Some medical experts will say it's good, and some will also say no. I guess, in the end, we are still going back to the traditional way of eating healthy, exercising, and getting good sleep.

Personally I'm a skeptic Genie.

Fasting isn’t just about what happens to your body physically it can bring some really powerful psychological benefits too.

Sure, the hunger pains can be rough, let’s not sugarcoat that. But realistically, most of us carry enough stored fat that our bodies can tap into for energy when we skip meals.

For just two or three days of not eating, your body is more than capable of switching over to burning that fat for fuel.

I think you're one of the healthiest members of this board, Keith. I don't think you need it.

 

[easy_street]

certain cultures have been fasting for centuries or even longer...I think it's a good reset

I am overweight Genie and don't get a lot of exercise these days. Not happy or proud of that. I don't have any major health issues that I know of. No medications necessary.

Maybe I missed it but aside from feeling hungry, can you remember the other downside, Sam? I know people who suffers headaches.

For me i had 0 side effects and hungrr started hitting in the late 40 hours in. I had great energy. Focused at work as normal. Singing dancing no issues

Lost over 5 pounds too

A lot of people fast for 16-18 hours then eat 1 meal a day. @donnie i know for 1 always talks about how he fasts

Jeff nadu formally big man on campus has lost over 150 pounds from fasting and walking.

Yes I agree most people can get away from eating for 2 or 3 days easily. Is it good for you? I honestly don't know. It may very well be great for you.
I don't sleep for a few days every so often. Should I also assume this is also good for me?

What if you had sex during your fast do you think it would’ve changed anything psychological to potentially eat something ?

No no not at all not sleeping for two or three days. It’s terrible for your brain. There is absolutely no comparison KR.

Good question. Typical post sex its just water and hydration. So id assume it would be similar. I dont crave food post sex

For me, what Sammy and JDS were doing is an intense fast, which their body can also bear. If you want to try it, maybe try intermittent fasting.

 

[keithrichard]

I have also gone without food for a few days usually not by choice. Probably because I have been ill with flu or just too busy to bother.

This is really good, Sam.

Yes this is good advice I basically do this everyday, sometimes up 24 hours & it has helped me lose over +10 lbs since September of last year.

In reality if you skip breakfast you already are going 14-16 hours without food. Eat say 8pm. Eat again at 12pm next day theres 16 hours

Im not one to say you can do anything you mind desires. But within reason i do believe that you can put your mind to it

So like me saying i can do 48 hours. Thats realistic and i did 60

But if im like im not esting for 7 days. Thats no realistic

More times than not you usually lose a few pounds that’s the one positive thing when you’re ill or have the flu. Well, that’s how I look at it.
