fasting

[azbcmranderson]

i have to fast tomorrow for a church thing
will it affect my gains or anything?

[Cody Is Cool]

naw. a fast every now and then is actually good.

[sportyhp]

im not much of a nutritionist or anything, but im guessing as long as you get right back on track afterwards you should be fine (maybe its the same as having a cheat day?)

[stella summers]

How long will you be doing this for? Fasting is never a good thing (bodywise)

[azbcmranderson]

just 1 day

sry but what is a fast..

its when you cut down on foods for a bit

[azbcmranderson]

a fast is where u cant eat anything except drink water
i have to go 24 hours without eating from now until 10o clock tomorrow night
i can only drink water and eat nothing

just out of curiosity, which church are you part of. And dnt wry you'll be fine.

Fasting for one day will NOT effect your gains, all a fast will do is make you hungry. What I do suggest is not to work out for this day seeing you will not be eating any carbs(energy) and you may very well hurt yourself.

Just dont work out the day before, the day and the day after. To be honest, i wouldnt take part in these weird church rituals.

[Emberstone]

its not that weird. there are months were certian religions dont eat from sun up to sun down as a act of devotion. my church every year those a fasting fundraiser to world hunger. I never took part because my docter forbid it with my fast metabolisem and I agree, because if I got even 6 hours without food, I start to have problems.

[WolfHeart]

I do not understand, how does not eating make you appreciate food more when you cant taste it...i do not see any logical point or reason for fasting.

[azbcmranderson]

its to show ur sincerity to god and u want him to work through u
im part of the unification church
i did work out yesterday and im sore from it
but i definitely wont work out today, but i might work out tomorrow

[DXX]

ffs, do whatever you want. I honestly don't see how fasting makes you a better person. Maybe if you were using the money you save to buy food for the hungry...

My grandmother does this **** too. Like goes a whole ****ing week living off bread and sugar water. It's ****ing pathetic. Who the **** do these people think they are brainwashing old people into thinking they have to starve themselves to get into heaven, while they molest they're altar boys. **** me dead.

/end rant

If i were you for the day i'd walk into the church while the priest is handing out the communion, with a gas BBQ, light it up in the middle of the church and start cooking a big fat juicy ****ing steak. Once its done i'd put it on a plate, pull up a chair and sit at the altar eating the fukker with a huge grin on my face

[WolfHeart]

Haha, brillant yes. Its alot of cult ritual rubbish if you ask me, i mean whats the point, where the hell is sincerity in starving yourself ? sounds like a waste of time and it could mess up your diet plan and your body wont be used to the suprise, its stupid, its pathetic. They probably just want you to not buy food and get obsessed with church to start paying for more church donations, i mean c'mon do you want to be a bodybuilder or a skinny baptist ?
