40+ Hour fast.

[Joseph1990]

Ending my 4-5 day binge now. Besides hunger pains is there really any reason not tot jump start my weight loss with a 40+ hour fast.

I don't need to hear, "Just eat at a regular deficit and get back on track like a normal person, no need to put yourself thorough that long of a fast."

Just yes or no, can this directly, not indirectly effect me in a negative manner.

Thank you.

i would do a 24 hour fast, followed by a small meal than another 24 hour. I don't really know but fasting that long may negate some of the advantages and invoke some of the disadvantages. Do some research and find out more.

I fast 22-23 hours every day... no problems here

OH BTW

i don't really see how it will 'jumpstart' your weight loss other than maybe from a mental perspective????

Im not certain if it will help your particular situation

Subtracting a day worth of calories dosen't make sense to you?

My other thought is just to hit my minimum requirements for fat/protein and that's IT.

Fat - 74g
Protein - 155g

Total: 1288 cals.

Pics of you post binge all spilled over NOA.

Sorry I don't understand?

[dustinh6719]

Why a 40 hr fast? That would just lead to more binging.

just keep protein moderate, fats and carbs low and eat alot of fibrous veges?

drink alot of water and eat alot of fibre would seem the way to go imo... if your gonna do 2 24 hour fast and limit caloric intake. This would have a chance of going some ways to clearning out the system a bit. Hell, you might feel a little better?

Something happened to putting me into "don't give a fukc mode." This won't happen again, I have strong will.

Sorry if I sound like an idiot but I still don't follow. Far as I know subcutaneous water = water held in the body by skin, muscles etc.

I did a 36 hour fast to jumpstart IF..... just to get my head into it

Was actually not bad at all.... I just drank tea and water. Felt really refreshing after a weekend of eating out and too much wine.

[juliacheh]

I fasted for 48 hours once (don't remember why, was 20 years old), did not notice any bad effects. However, I see no point really, you gained a bunch of water basically and maybe a little fat.

Thanks good to know.

Not only did I binge hard for 4-5 days, I was sedentary the entire time.

Speaking from personal experience, I agree... =/

No disrespect, but I'd be willing to bet money it will.

What happened to set it off can't happen again, I can tell you that much.

I haven't been thinking clearly lately and forgot about water weight/retention. I did gain more fat then what you are thinking, I binged very hard.

What you have there is a close cousin to a PSMF. If your interested, find layne norton's book online. It's rapid weight loss if you stick to it.

OP, what exactly did you eat during this 4-5 day long binge?

[spicyprice]

I think everyone is making this out to be a bigger issue than it is.....

[spicyprice]

For ME, it breaks a cycle of cravings and it gets rid of water weight.

[Cumulonimbus]

out to eat your 5k+ cals a day right? because someone of your size can eat that much without gaining half a pound of fat a day. bye.

Assuming he is active (which he is, I remember him posting his daily workout) and if he built up to that intake gradually, he can handle it. I'm over 3k cals and I have days where I am dropping weight. This is from building it up slowly after dieting down on 1900 cals.

To the OP, just take pictures of yourself tonight and tomorrow and post them in comparison to pictures from last week or so.

Since you're back now, can you please explain why YOU believe Martin's studies are BS??

I don't think his studies are BS. I follow his version of IF for the most part.

I disagree with his opinion on BCAA's.

I disagree with regulating the size of pre/post workout meals for any other reason then personal preference.

I disagree with the need for the first meal of the day on non training days to be highest in protein.

According to l2ambo you guys had numerous conversations and you claim they are BS

I said what I said above. What words I used you can't expect me to rember but that is what I wanted to get across.

I ended by saying to research it for himself. Take what he reads from the leangains site and decide for himself what he wants to follow or not follow. I feel this is how every study should be approached. Always be skeptical and ask yourself questions. Follow up with your own research to make a concrete conclusion.

PS: I referred him to IF/Leangains site on a regular basis for over 2 weeks.
