>HOW DO I SAFELY FAST? >take around 4700 mg of potassium per day max >2000 up to 3000 mg of sodium per day max >MIX THIS INTO AT LEAST A LITER OF WATER, sip it through the day. This will keep you hydrated.
>WHAT SHOULD MY FASTING ROUTINE LOOK LIKE? If you're lean, 5:2!-- OMAD (one meal a day, 1-2 hour eating window) 5 days a week + 48 hour fast a week If you're a fatass, FAST UNTIL YOU AREN'T.
>WONT I GO INTO STARVATION MODE AND DIE?! You don't have the willpower to fast to death. Now look down. See that large bulbous gut? That's food. Thousands and thousands of calories stored and ready to be consumed by your body.
>WONT I LOSE MUSCLE? This is the coolest part about fasting. Your body remains very anabolic when you fast.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5064803/ "Our results suggest that a fasting program in conjunction with resistance training can decrease fat mass, and maintain muscle mass in resistance-trained males."

previous What is the shortest time I can fast? >16:8. A 16 hour fast and 8 hour eating window per day What is the longest time I can fast? >You can fast as long as you have more than 8% body fat and supplement correctly How do I supplement correctly? >Get enough minerals. Mainly sodium and potassium Where do I get sodium and potassium? >Sodium Chloride is table salt or pink salt. Potassium Chloride is salt substitute, found by the salt in grocery stores Can I just take sodium without potassium? >No. This is how you fuck your shit up. Potassium is non-negotiable How much sodium and potassium? >2500 mg / 1 teaspoon of each is a good start Can I take all the salt at once? >No. You will shit yourself and flush electrolytes. Mix the salts with 1-2 L of water and sip throughout the day. Mixture is called snake juice Can I just drink water without salts? >For shorter fasts, yes. But for long ones, you'll deplete your electrolytes and feel like shit How long can I go on just water? >Til you feel like shit Any other minerals I need? >Some add magnesium to their routine as well What about multivitamins? >Not really necessary Anything else I can add to my routine? >If your gut is fucked, you can add cayenne pepper >Some do 1 tsp of baking soda and 0.5 tsp sodium cl for kidney health >Some take ACV and lemon juice. Acids fuck your teeth, so don't mix with snake juice. Take separately Coffee, tea, sweeteners? >Can raise cortisol and insulin, reducing effects of fasting. Otherwise okay Why not just do CICO? >CICO fucks with both your TDE and your insulin levels in ways that fasting does not. Also, fasting has other health benefits What are the other benefits of fasting? >Autophagy, reduced inflammation, HGH boost, immune system recovery, increased insulin sensitivity, more muscle sparing
Do I really need to dose this snake juice shit if I go for a 48/60/72h fast? Can I just sip 1.5l of water with 5g table salt daily?
Jace Diaz
Fuck I forgot. Is a powerade/gatorade zero a viable substitute, or will the artificial sweeteners fuck with my insuline response?

>Finish 5 day fast >Want to do more but have been feeling weird and I'm somewhat paranoid about longer fasts >Break it eating a chicken breast with light seasoning and some sardines >Force myself to eat it all because I actually need the protein >So full I feel a little sick A long way from eating a medium pizza with two side items and a desert in one sitting. Luckily I've never had issues breaking fasts eating whatever I want. Now to start another five day fast.
Cameron Adams
does fasting make you lose hair like pure keto does?
Colton Barnes
Fasting protip: Embarrass yourself badly so you'll fast out of shame
Adam Reed
>couldnt sleep last night >break down and consoom 700 calories worth of snacks (cheese crackers and granola bar) >stomach churns in agony today I hate myself. Should I skip my omad today?
no. eat your omad today and get back on the wagon tomorrow. skipping your omad today (and therefore even further breaking your eatting pattern) will only make you feel shittier tomorrow.
trust me, i've been down this path before. consistency is more important than anything else. stick to your omad every day even if you lost control and binged yesterday.
Nathan Adams
I'm refeeding standard and the first two days of the next roll are harder than after a keto refeed, but not as hard as a cold start. For me at least.
Ian Ross
Standard unless you're morbidly obese and want to min/max everything.
Liam Butler
>Will this negate the yohimbine effects? Why would this negate anything? The only real concern I could think of is if you're taking it with caffeine which might accelerate your dehydration.
Depends on you, m8. If you're still active I would break the ketosis to give your muscles a bit more ready glycogen, but that's a preference thing. I lift with significant difference when I've had carbs in the refeed.
Jeremiah Stewart
Because of the insulin response, if any.
Anthony Wright
If you're trying to reverse diabetes or inflammation induced chronic diseases then yeah keto
Juan Wilson
>exit ketosis in the morning ( 5am ) >enter ketosis at 12:30 pm AAAAAAA WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO KEEP UP!
Just stay keep fasting. The insulin response tapers off after a few hours of taking the yhcl, so as long as you're not diabetic there's no issue.
Thomas Peterson
Not him but your piss will be a bit bubbly during ketosis, outside of ketosis it's normal amber or light yellow with no slight bubbling or a cat piss smell. Usually people enter it in the night and can tell in the morning piss if they kept it up
Jace Wood
desu user you don't want to be in ketosis for too long. Urine
Tyler Jones
>be me >stop drinking diet coke >noticing that also I'm drinking less coffee and tea >get into a initial 48 fasting as Snek man says >I don't feel as shitty as before The meme is real.
Leo Gutierrez
I've been doing a mix of one meal and 16:8 with keto for a month now, with one three day fast. I'm off for three days on Friday so I'm gonna try finally doing a 14 day fast. Wish me fucking luck guys, I'm gonna stop vaping during that so it doesn't fuck me up, which is gonna be the hard part.
Leo Hall
Do fiber supplements break fasts? They have calories but you typically negate them from your net carb intake.
Jaxon Diaz
Your piss tells you, whenever I end up eating like shit I exit in a few hours and have to do a new cycle of omad fasting keto style to get back in. Hate being consipated so I'm trying get out of it right now so I can have a nice shit and do water fast only for a bit. Yea but it gets good results, only thing I hate is not shitting, they say that you can do /noshit/ but I don't like it at all. Just farting is annoying to me.
Kevin Richardson
Is the cortisol shit for tea legit? I thought dr. Fast advocated for green tea during fasts? Just use ketostix(tm).
Aaron Watson
No shit is based lol Easier with pee pee desu also good to see if you aren't getting kidney issues when exiting keto instead of getting spooked like some people that end up quitting.
Jackson Cook
Fuuuuuck I'm on day 3 and feeling weak as fuck today. I woke up feeling fine. Maybe I just need more snake juice. Just another 10 hours to go...
Liam Gray
/noshit/ is annoying but it works fine, and when you do finally blast a turd man is the end result is orgasmic
Oliver Cruz
Consider adding this as a resource. It's very well explained and should be in the 'before any questions' section.
