I have a hard enough time when I fast for one day. Especially right around 2pm. Once I get past 2-3pm the rest of the day isn't so bad.
The best way to do it... is to eat mid day... then don't eat again until mid day the next day. Boom easy 24 hours.
The longest I did was 12.5 days... but I wasn't getting enough electrolytes, because I hadn't figured that part out.
Now I can't get past 7 days. I think it's a mental block, but I could definitely use a longer one.
The mental clarity is amazing. As long as I eat a ketogenic type meal before fasting, I'm good... if I eat too many carbs or sweets, there's no way for me to do a fast. [Reply]

I’m not up to date on the science on this though
Watch this... Dr. Pradip Jamnadas... he is pretty hilarious.

This is NOT fasting and the scam artists are telling people skipping meals is fasting or eating 1 meal a day is fasting.
You body NEVER goes into ketosis.
All you are doing is skipping meals and reducing calories.
Reducing calories certainly helps but it is not fasting. [Reply]

Fasting is VERY HEALTHY for fat people. MahomesMagic is 100% correct. You MUST drink plenty of water paced throughout the day. 1 1/2 gallons is perfect as it will ensure hydration, keep your bowels moving and help you fight hunger.
Vitamin supplements are fine but don't have a ton of help.
Already discussed who shouldn't fast. Anyone with visceral fat can benefit greatly.
You need to be careful as you get past day 3-4 as you could be dizzy standing up. Your blood pressure drops during your fast.
There are many more benefits than negatives when done correctly. [Reply]
So, starving yourself for days is the only way to get into ketosis..... and intermittent fasting is a "scam", yet drinking only water and coffee "cleanses toxins," which is only one of the biggest health scams ever.
This thread is why no one should take advice from the internet (including mine, go see a doctor or someone with some credentials.... jfc :-)).

Holy shit, Scho is spouting off crazy ass nonsense. A low carb diet is enough to put someone into ketosis. He sounds like those crazy fucks MLM huns. Dude is clueless and is getting his info from some really sketchy ass places. [Reply]

You know who doesn't die young? People who do control fasts.
I didn't read the article but are you saying that not eating for 40 days is a controlled fast
People who do control fasts don't die young what about Jesus boom roasted [Reply]
