Do you fast?

[K3Nv2]

Given all the junk I put in my body every so often I decide to fast for 12 or 24 hours if you don't count liquids which my drinks don't contain as much sugar as they use to. Decent way to reset the body for the next day. Seems to be helping the weight loss as well down 8 pounds. Weigh in remained the same at today's doctor visit. Could be the meds surpressing my appetite but I rarely crave a huge I need tons of food thought anymore. I live by eat when the gut tells you to.

My gut tells me to eat all the time. My gut is a fat bastard.

I tried the intermittent fasting thing for a bit, wasn't bad. Lost some weight too.

I need to eat more, not less.

 

[poughstings]

For several days at a time, yes.

 

[Cranesbill]

I don’t like eating to be honest, but don’t overdue it on fasting

I would try to just be more careful about what you *do* eat rather than fasting.

Same here, too.

You can actually eat whatever if you do it correctly, that's why not every competitive eater in the world is so fat. Moderation.

yes yes, Agreed Moderation

I used to fast. Think my longest fast was 12 days. If you're familiar with the Keto diet, fasting works as a great way of kickstarting your body into ketosis. My first fast was 5 days.

I enjoyed it, used to lose a ton of weight. But I've gotten older now. I wouldn't do a long fast now without the guidance and supervision of a doctor.

True, if we’re talking just about weight. I would also be concerned about proper nutrition.

It really depends. I have hormone deficiency so my vitamins naturally deflate. I was basically still am eating a honey bun a day, might have a can of soda 3 times out of the week or a light frozen meal for added protein if I don't feel like cooking. Other times I'll get fastfood bogo deals and pig out. It's the stigma of shows like 600 pound life that makes others think everyone downs an entire huge bag of chips in one sitting.

Once fasted for an entire week, wouldn't recommend.

 

[JustABadger]

Twice a week.

The worst part about fasting is people bothering you about it, even when you try your best to keep it a secret. People are way too judgmental even for a 24 hours fast, almost like they feel guilty eating more than you do. Unfortunately people tend to notice when you don't eat, especially at work when you're the only one that didn't bring any lunch.

No, I don't eat "Fast", But in Moderation. Which makes the belly think you're just taking your time to eat

I do. It's either one meal a day, 16 hours off from last time eating/8 hours on for eat (within reason), or nothing for the day. Just depends on whats going on. Very hard to start since we get stuck with specific ideals from childhood, and people look at you crazy. Le sigh.

I do fast sometimes, yeah

Jokes aside, not really, but I don't think I really exaggerate much when eating, my main problem is that I'm a lazy bastard and don't really do much exercise of any kind, eh.

 

[Maq47]

@FAST6191, do you fast?

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Sometimes. I can easily go 12-24 hours without eating if I'm occupied with something, but the one thing I can't do is sleep on an empty stomach. There are few things I hate more.
It also saves me money when I'm broke af.
