Apologies if you caught the brunt of it - wrong place at the wrong time probably.

Was NOT my intention

No worries, brah 😎

good now let's make up 😚

on a tangent from that post, what type of fasting do you do?

@Deleted User GHEY...

I'm into IMF personally

I do 16/8 just about every day. (hardly consider that fasting, honestly) Once or twice a month I do a 24hr, lunch to lunch, but I've gone as long as 48.hrs.

eating is homosexual

16/8 daily as well, big fan.

I've hit the 48 mark as well, I don't really enjoy it after 72.

@Deleted User You really gonna put *meat* and in your *mouth*? Das gay as hell.

@Sam Southern - TN Longest i've gone is 48

tfw bulking <:nervous:359009898115104770>

honestly probably a good place to stop. diminishing returns in my experience after 48

@Deleted User @Sam Anderson How does that break down? You guys are consuming the entirety of your daily caloric needs within the space of eight hours?

yes

Eesh...

What does fasting for two days and such help with

I do intermittent 16/8

People seem to be big on it, but intuitively, one'd think it'd jack up your metabolism, sending you into starvation mode, no?

I find greater mental clarity, an instant loss of 1-3 lbs (not just water weight) and some studies claim it speeds the regeneration of stem cells/helps with circadian rhythm.

Honestly the best way to lose weight is to eat small meals around 6-8 times a day. Fasting causes your body to store more fat and caloties.

@Huh. Curious...

@Virgil There are several strategies for weight loss, won't be the same for everyone.

I think fasting is better, cause you're not always around food...

@Virgil Yeah, that's what a lot of competitive bodybuilders do, but between my schedule, and just being a creature of habit, I can't make it work...

Lifestyle can be pretty prohibitive of 6-8 small meals too.

I know that'd be nearly impossible for me.

accidentally overeating on tiny meals is all too easy

Yeah I can imagine

Sayeth the lanklet

Wew

pshh

fight me

1v1 me

True, I certainly don't eat 6-8 small meals, usually. Maybe around 4 to 5 for me

time and place

I plateaued with my weight loss I think

Which is why I like Keto + IM fasting: very few rules that you must follow ABSOLUTELY with 0 gray area.
