Fasting

Pretty beneficial. Extremely difficult.

I've done it a few times but for non physical reasons. The physical benefits are certainly a nice bonus. Not sure I could pull it off purely for the physical though.
 
Fasting in a house with three boys is damn near an impossibility. Too many snacks and shit, even if they're organic and have no dyes, etc in them.

At the beginning of last September, I completed a 7-day water-only fast.

One week later I had a CT scan of my abdomen.

Notwithstanding the Feces issue, the Radiologist was shocked at how "clean" and "healthy" the rest of my system looked, especially vs previous CT results.

Fasting has value because the body - counterintuitively - fortifies itself. Part of that process is the body consuming its own dead, dying, diseased cells.

Will do again 10/10.

Yeah that's 100% what I was told by a naturopathy doctor. I never did anything near that extreme, and didn't hardly do shit for my ct exam.
Maybe should've done that instead of drink beer the night before.
 
I don’t think I could manage a 7 day fast. That’s commitment. I’ve done intermittent many times and one and two day fasts quite often. I’ll be doing a 16:8 fast for three days to prime the pump and then a three day water fast right after that. I tried last week, got all the way through my first 24 hours of water fast but forgot I was taking my wife, kids and mother out to dinner Friday night for Mother’s Day. I’ll nail it this week, my body needs the reset.

Day 5 fucked w my head. Had to have a buddy talk me off the ledge.

Then, I had solids STILL coming out day 7 and caught myself thinking LFG more days.

Nope. Stopped that night at 7

The longest I ever went was 4 days. It was really fucking hard. 24 hours is pretty easy for me, anything longer gets hard rather quickly
 
I was going to try to do a 24 hour fast starting tomorrow.
Then I realized I’m going drinking with some bros tomorrow.
 
I’m going to do a 3-day water fast, commensurate w treatment, next week - Mon, Tues, Wed.

Anybody is welcome to join. If you aren’t weened off sugar, recommend do it Sat/Sun and get the migraine out of the way before the fast. Excedrin Migraine helps a lot

I’d take another butthole scope complete with colon purge over a 3 day fast.
 
It's still considered fasting to drink nothing but black coffee/water? Shit, I don't consume anything but that until around 1 every day.

Black coffee is approved to consume during fast. Zero calories.

Days 2-3 are generally the hardest in my experience

This is correct. Days 2-3 are the toughest because all the chemicals in fat stores release back into the system to flush out.

If you can make it past day 3 you will start to feel really good and clear minded.
