I like how anyone that doesn't agree with him is an "idiot," a "troll," a "retard," "uneducated," "blue piller," etc. etc. Insert whatever random insult that internet warriors use to argue on forums when they can present no legitimate evidence. All the information this clown presents is from pro-fasting cuck-sites that he's enamored with.

It's starting to be hysterical. I came in with alternatives to this complete nonsense, but now I just think it's funny watching him spout off.

Now we're all "crab thinkers!" Oooooooooh!

I agree. It takes critical thinking to understand that water fasting and dry fasting are stupid decisions.

Critical thinking demands proof, evidence, and facts. You have presented none.

You have simply designated yourself as a blue pill thinker and a close-minded human crab.






It is interesting how men on this forum will believe every story about a threesome (or even a foursome), but then refuse to even entertain proven ideas that have been around for thousands of years (such as fasting).

While I have an open mind about earthing, there are far more documented materials about the health benefits of fasting than there are about the health benefits of earthing, which is a relatively new theory (although people have also been walking barefoot for thousands of years). You are quite the hypocrite.

Because taking a walk barefoot and starving yourself are the same thing.

So there are going to be many skeptics out there.

I would rather keep the focus on the topic myself.

Unless there is constructive dialog - it is likely better just filter out the negativity. There are many who are interested also.

Do not expect constructive dialog, insightful comments, or logic or reason to spring from such people. If they were this type of person, they would never have injected themselves into the middle of this thread to insert vapid one-liners and false claims (without any supporting proof, evidence, or facts) into the midst of a constructive conversation between thoughtful men wishing to share useful information to improve their lives.

How do you know that you are healthy? Plenty of people believe that they are healthy -- and are actually rotting inside. Ever hear of visceral abdominal fat (i.e., the unseen fat around your organs)? Many thin people think they are healthy, but they have dangerous levels of visceral abdominal fat.

Yep. Finally it got drilled into my head that high carbs - especially the simple carbs are the real problem for me. Carb fuzzing addiction and sugar. The two silent killers. I avoided them for the last two days and am doing a low carb keto plan -which means high protein. I was exited to see I am down two pounds this morning. I got 38 pounds more to go. But I think I may finally be on the right direction.

Combined with my monday dry fasts -- I hope this time it will work.

The problem is once you eat even a little sugar or junk food, the cravings become unbearable and there is real danger you will slide right back to the bottom again. It happens all the time to people.

Low fat does not necessarily mean a high protein diet, which can be very unhealthy. Dr. Mercola wrote a great book, titled "Fat for Fuel," which I read last year. A ketogenic diet, which is very low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats (not protein), optimizes the biochemical pathways that suppress disease and support healing. This is NOT a permanent way of eating: the key is to cycle on and off such a diet on a regular basis (just like fasting), while eating healthy the rest of the time (primarily complex carbs, i.e., organic fruits and vegetables).

Yes, I experience this almost every time I backslide -- along with feeling poorly after I eat the junk. There are actually bad bacteria, yeast, and fungi in your intestinal tract that can cause those cravings. Many people can lessen those cravings by promoting a healthy biodiversity in your intestinal tract.

Quote:Many people find that their cravings subside substantially after adopting a nutrient-dense diet for several months. This is likely mediated by a shift in their gut and oral microbiota.

Good post TG, that really cleared up a few things.

Post: #264

I haven't done a long fast like the OP but this week I tried cutting dinner out or eating a very small serving of vegetables & fruit in the evening.

After I tried this, I felt way more energetic in the mornings, looked more well rested and saw an increase in my muscle definition even though I cut overall calories. I'm going to keep experimenting with this and try longer fasts - but probably not as long as the OP.

I don't think humans were designed to eat 3 big meals a day. It's been mentioned a lot before, but in hunter-gatherer societies, meals were infrequent and unpredictable, often with long gaps between them. It stands to reason that our bodies can function on far less food than the west demands we consume - and we'd probably be healthier for cutting back on extraneous calories as well.

I've asked a few people in the medical or health field about dry fasting and whether the body breaks down fat molecules and combines them with oxygen to create water. All of them have said that they've never heard of this before. Is metabolic water the process that dry-fasting results in?

Has the establishment really suppressed fasting-related information to keep people hooked on drugs to the degree that professionals in the field don't even know about basic processes like this?

Apparently so. It stuns even me. And hence all the conspiracy theories we get.

If bears who hybernate all winter and hydrate themselves with no water you have to wonder why can't humans also create metoblic water.

After my three day dry fast, I had no thirst for water at all and felt I could go on for more days easily. And was still urinating and feeling my stomach was full of water. No hunger for food either.

Post: #267

I've been conducting deep research into water-only fasting over the past weeks, and by coincidence came to the forum and found this thread. To any people who doubt that there are benefits to water-only fasting, just research a bit.

The main benefits are detoxification through enzyme pathways which only come into play when you are in ketosis state AND your liver, kidney and other organs are not taxed by having to process chemicals. This is the reason that during water only fasts you dont even use toothpaste to brush your teeth - having a substance other than water in your mouth can induce enzyme pathways already even if you dont ingest it (digestion starts in the mouth).

This is why keto diets dont have the same benefits (although they may have some benefits from ketosis, but ketosis is good only for a few weeks at a time not as a nearly permanent state - so why not just fast for a week or two once or twice a year).

Regarding dry fasting I fail to see the point. Water HELPS the detoxification process, as the main detoxification and excretions require and occur through water (kidneys to piss, skin for sweat). Our body needs water, but for detoxification it should be distilled (again so as to not have the liver and kidneys deal with impurities and chemicals like chlorine or heavy metals, but instead process the shit we have in our bodies which are mostly stored in fat which we burn in ketosis).

A water only fast I understand is best for detox.

A dry fast effectively burns fat by transforming it to metabolic water. A water only fast does not burn fat as much.
A hard dry fast is also a direct attack of many diseases on the body - especially cancer. It can reduce tumors effectively.

This is from what I have read. It seems to a good way to fight cancer -- but you wonder why more research is not being done on this area.

So it all depends what your goals are on whether a dry or wet or intermitment fast is best.

Post: #269

Ok I think I understand where you're getting at, although your assertion that water fasting is for detox while dry fast burns fat is not correct as ketosis occurs independently of water being present. But your point may be that dry fasting is likely to be even more catabolic than water only fasting, so it may be more effective at decomposing undesirable matter in the body - this may be true, but is not certain.

My issue with dry fasting is mainly that while there is extensive experience with water fasting in a clinical setting where serious side effects are very rare (at the TrueNorth clinic) and there is at least some scientific literature from M.D. I have yet to see something to a similar scale on dry fasting.

From your research on dry fasting, for how many days can someone reliably safely (without serious side effects) dry fast?

You make good points. Dry fasting is something of a new topic and not much information or research is out there. Though where did this idea come from that the human body will die of dehydration after three days of no water which many seem to think is correct? It is not correct from my experience at least.

My main source of information right now is from the Snake Diet fitness trainer from Edmonton who did a hard dry fast for seven days on you tube.

He has got many videos online and is a strong supporter of dry fasting.

Good luck - you will feel incredible when you complete it and have your first bite of Watermelon.

Here are some tips to consider:

Don't start your fast on fri while you are working. The first day is the most important and usually the most difficult. Have a good lunch on friday -- but for dinner try to just have some fruits or veggies only and maybe a litre of water or just some green tea.

Start the fast on Sat. Stay in -- rest, rest, rest. Maybe read a book. Refrain form arduous activity -- but you can go out for a light walk and get some good air. Sunday do the same. Then see how you feel on Monday. If you can take the day off work. If you have to work - at least you have done your two days which is also a good start. The third day of fast is the usually the most difficult -- then it gets a lot easier after that.

Don't break the fast at dinner, break it at breakfast. Go to sleep early. Once you are asleep, you have no hunger pains.

Breaking the fast correctly is more important than doing the fast itself. Break it by first having warm lemon water with a bit of salt. Use fresh lemon.

Then try to drink a litre of water slowly.

Then eat water rich fruits only. Best is water melon. .

Then for lunch make your own soup will a lot of water liquid and fresh vegetables.

Ease into normal eating.

That is how I do my 3-1/2 day fasts. I then break the fast Monday morning with an organic vegetable broth -- and then eat the softened organic vegetables for lunch and dinner. Try to avoid driving after Friday, if you can (some people get brain fog). I agree with everything that Bain said in the previous post, except for beginning on Friday. I have no problem working on the first day of a fast -- or doing other normal activities. Plan to just relax over the weekend. Of course, if you are addicted to caffeine or sugar (and you may not even realize it), then beginning on a Saturday may be better for you because you might get a monster headache or experience other withdrawal symptoms. Good luck. If you have any questions during the fast, we are here for you.

A few years ago I did a lemonade cleanse with water, fresh lemon juice, organic grade b maple syrup and a little cayenne pepper. I remember having solid bowel movements six and seven days into the liquid diet. That's enough for me to prove the detox affects of water-only or juice-only fasts.

What are the primary benefits of doing water-only fasts instead of the juice-only fasts? Is one easier than the other? The calories and vitamins in maple syrup and lemon juice make me think it would be easier to do the juice-only fast for a longer time period but I've only done a fast with juice once and never with water.

Any suggestions for guys who lift weights and want to keep strength and size losses to a minimum?

Post: #275

Birthday Cat: All your questions, except your last one, have been answered in detail elsewhere in the thread, so I will just post short answers.

1) What are the primary benefits of doing water-only fasts instead of the juice-only fasts?

A water-only fast will place you in full ketosis after 2-3 days, so you will get far more health benefits; juicing will not result in full ketosis. See my earlier posts regarding ketosis and the list of health benefits.

2) Is one easier than the other?

Most people find a water-only fast much easier because, after a period of time (usually 2-3 days) your body realizes that it is not getting any food, so your food cravings diminish (more like a dull craving than a raging hunger).

3) The calories and vitamins in maple syrup and lemon juice make me think it would be easier to do the juice-only fast for a longer time period but I've only done a fast with juice once and never with water.

Not in my experience. I breezed through a two-week medically supervised water-only fast, while my suite mate endured constant hunger on a two-week juice-only fast. See my earlier post. If you are taking any prescription medications, then juicing is preferable (which is why my suite mate did it).

4) Any suggestions for guys who lift weights and want to keep strength and size losses to a minimum?

Unless you are thin as a rail, you should only lose fat and excess water weight. For the average person, it takes months to lose all their fat stores. Starvation only occurs after the body loses all its fat reserves and then begins to cannibalize muscle and, eventually, the organs. That takes months. From the perspective of bodybuilding, here is an article about intermittent fasting and its effects on testosterone, human growth hormone, leptin regulation, cellular repair, and other health benefits. All the benefits of intermittent fasting translate into even bigger benefits for longer-term fasting. Here are a few excerpts:

Quote:Intermittent fasting amplifies growth hormone (GH) production

GH plays a crucial role in the proper growth and development of adolescents. In adults, it regulates tissue recovery, brain function, energy levels, aging, and metabolism.

Fasting can induce a significant increase of GH secretion - with some studies showing up to a 2000% increase.

The production of GH and testosterone go hand in hand - higher GH leads to higher testosterone.

Higher levels of GH also translate to:

Increased muscle and strength
Accelerated fat-loss
Fix erectile dysfunction
Improved mood
Improved sleep

More GH is definitely something you want more of running through your veins.

Quote:a University of Utah study found that people who fasted just one day per month were 40% less likely to suffer from clogged arteries. There were over 500 subjects, and researchers accounted for habits like smoking, fasting, caffeine intake, and alcohol consumption. Fasting was the only habit that correlated with lower rates of heart disease. Even after adjusting for things like age, weight, diabetes, and blood pressure, the difference between fasters and non-fasters remained the same.

In an earlier post, I also referenced a fasting book written by a medical doctor. He also has a number of videos on Youtube.
