I've heard a lot of people share the idea that being disciplined in one aspect of your life leads to that mentality affecting the rest of your activity. Sounds like your devotion to God was either the result or the catalyst of that mentality. Kind of along the lines of those Navy Seals saying "make your bed in the morning, small things matter," or even Jordan Peterson saying clean your room bucko.
I guess that would be starting tomorrow lol
Good lord, man!!! @DaddyPaddy - FL
an 8 day fast? whew, lad
That was for @Nico The Great - CA but anyone is welcome to join.. Please don't let me be alone! lol
Gotta kick in that autophagy, son!
@DaddyPaddy - FL Sounds good. But is the fasting literally NO FOOD? I'm a skinny guy, man! And I like food! I was just about to go to Denny's tomorrow ha ha!
bruh, russian squat program and GOMAD
SMOLOV
No calories. Black coffee and tea. By the end of 8 days, your insides will be that of a newborns lol
I’ve done 20 hour fasts max and my stomach wouldn’t stop growling
I can’t imagine more than 2 days
@DaddyPaddy - FL Wait, seriously? Bro, if you saw how skinny I am, you wouldn't tell me to fast ha ha. I like the discipline part for sure, but I need to get a few more pounds of fat first before I do that. I'd unironically get sick from that ha ha
You don’t need to if you have low body fat
It's really good to intermittent fast though (a big component of almost every world religion) It puts your body into ketosis, ramps up autophagy and will actually cause the production of more HGH in the body. You stop feeling hungry after day 2 and actually have MORE energy though the fast.
It's not about losing weight, it cleanses the body like nothing else.
Hmmm, getting in ketosis from intermittent fasting... gonna need a citation
Sure thing
I mean, if you're eating keto, then sure, but eating normal, X to doubt.
@DaddyPaddy - FL Yeah, sorry bro, I'm gonna have to decline you THIS TIME. I like IE and all, but I'm not quite ready to die for the cause lol
Okay, yeah, exactly, *on keto*
Ketosis begins when you burn off all glycogen reserves, fasting accomplishes this.
@DaddyPaddy - FL You're talking to me about fasting, and I'm here daydreaming about biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, etc
Keto diet is just one without carbs, therefor deplete of glycogen. Fasting accomplishes the same task of a ketogenic diet.
I had chicken and biscuits tonight.. drool..
Anyways I gotta hit the hay gents, you all have a good night
Keto worked pretty well for me
I did gain back water weight after I finished keto, but it's been a few months since I finished and I'm still down like 10 pounds
@DaddyPaddy - FL Be well my white brother ha ha
And I was only on keto for like 3 months
Lol, it seems like <#481597551272001546> always evolves in keto diet discussions once it hits late night
LOL it does!
At least everyone in IE knows to hit up Jacob for dieting advice ha ha
I'm glad it took this turn. My appetite and stomach have decreased after being sick the past two weeks so I'm becoming a little more comfortable with what is effectively already fasting.
Did someone say Olympic lifting?
I'm always craving fatty southern food. Maybe it's my huwhite heritage, but more likely it's because I don't get much of it here in California. There's almost no southern dining at all
My search for a Cracker Barrel continues
I’m gonna say it... Cracker Barrel breakfast isn’t that great.
fatty food is fine as long as it isn't coupled with carbs
