Why do people here do waterfasting?

[Deleted member 10709]

Just be disciplined and lose weight the normal way you morons. Why destroy your metabolism just to lose 10lbs of water/muscle in a couple of weeks, turning you from skinny-fat to even more skinny-fat. Anybody that has done it is welcome to argue the positives if they want, genuinely intrigued.

If you're 20%+ bf, there is no adverse effect by water fasting.

How is there no adverse affect?

I waterfasted for 7 days when I started losing weight over a year ago. The main benefit for me was that it helped reset my eating habits.

You're so fucking fat, that being fat is so much more damaging than a few days without eating. Fasting is actually good for you, period, if done smart and periodically.
You have nothing to lose at that point, I mean jfl, you're a pig hambeast if you're that fat.

Fair enough if it helped mentally I guess, but I'm sure that could've been achieved if you tried a less restrictive diet anyway

You don't understand, there is literally no more hunger
A completely different mindset

Are you fat Op

 

[Cigarette]

i water fast for 1 or 2 days after eating like shit. cleanses body and stomach plus resets all that fucked up greasy food

 

[IdiAmin]

Some dudes turn here into foids with their weightlosing routine, lol, can't wait for tapewormmaxx guide for losing weight

 

[Deleted member 10709]

Are you fat Op

Nah

 

[Zradrad]

If you did one second of research you'd figure out that lean muscle mass is preserved while water fasting due to an increase in HGH production. I did a whole month of alternate day fasting (starting around 15-16% bf maybe) in January and lost no noticeable muscle mass.

People do it because it's a far more efficient way to lose fat quickly than any other method. The only concern is that for some, rapid weight loss can cause temporary hair shedding so you should be careful.

People on this site try and find every shortcut possible rather than just doing things properly jfl

I water fast to reset my food addiction and it works when I do it for a few days. Anything over 5 days for me makes me binge after so it’s about moderation and I’m losing weight

I wasn't necessarily talking about people doing it as a 1/2 day cleanse. I meant more the people who do it for a week, maybe even 2 just to lose some weight quickly when they are already skinny (skinnyfat). A 24 hour fast isn't the same thing in my mind.

Tbh all weight loss amounts to is burning more calories than you consume. Water fasting, Keto, cico all does the same thing

 

[Bewusst]

because they're impatient and too undisciplined to eat less food, hence they rather starve themselves temporarily, thinking that fasting is the fastest way to lose weight ("fasting" -> "fast", you see lol)

 

[Deleted member 6873]

I do it sometimes for autophagy tbhg

 

[Mr.cope]

fasting can actually make you even fatter

Still waiting for people to take activated charcoal with their meals to adsorb the macronutrients. A silly idea that came to my mind yesterday but it might work in theory

Stage 1 (Day1-2)
On the first day of fasting, the blood Sugar level drops below 70mg/dl. To restore the blood to the normal glucose level, liver glycogen is converted to glucose and released into the blood. This reserve is enough for a half day. The body then reduces the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The rate of internal chemical activity in resting tissue is lowered to conserve energy. The heart slows and blood pressure is reduced. Glycogen s pulled from the muscle causing some weakness. The first wave of cleansing is usually the worst.
Headaches, dizziness, nausea, bad breath, glazed eyes and a heavily coated tongue are signs of the first stage of cleansing. Hunger can be the most intense in this period.


Stage 2 (Day 3 to 7)
Fats, composed of transformed fatty acids, are broken down to release glycerol from the gliceride molecules and are converted to glucose. The skin may become oily as rancid oils are purged from the body. People with problem-free skin may have a few days of pimples or even a boil. A pallid complexion is also a sign of waste in the blood. Ketones are formed by the incomplete oxidation of fates. It is suspected that the ketones in the blood suppress the appetite by affecting the food-satiety center in the hypothalamus called the appestat. You may feel hungry for the first few days of the fast. This effect is temporary. The desire to eat will disappear. Lack of hunger may last 40-60 days.
The body embraces the fast and the digestive system is able to take a much-needed rest, focusing all of its energies on cleansing organs and the lungs are in the process of being repaired. Periodically, the lymphatic system expels mucoid matter through the nose or throat. The volume excreted of this yellow-colored mucus can be shocking. The sinuses go through periods of being clogged, then will totally clear. The breath is still foul and the tongue coated. Within the intestine, the colon is being repaired and impacted feces on the intestinal wall start to loosen and are autolyzed.



Stage 3 (Day 8 to 15)
On the latter part of an extended fast, you can experience enhanced energy, clear-mindedness and feel better than you have felt since childhood, On the downside, old injuries may become irritated and painful. This is a result of the body’s increased ability to heal during fasting. If you had broken your arm 10 yrs before, there is scar tissue around the break. At the time of the break, the body’s ability to heal was directly related to lifestyle. If you lived on a junk food diet, the body’s natural ability to heal was diminished.
During fasting, the body’s healing process is at optimum efficiency. As the body scours for dead or damaged tissue, the lymphocytes enter the older-damaged tissue secreting substances to dissolve the damaged cells. These substances irritate the nerves in the surrounding region and cause a reoccurrence of aches from previously injured areas that may have disappeared years earlier. The pain lasts as the body is completing the healing process. The muscles may become tight and sore due to toxin irritation. The legs can be the worst affected as toxins accumulate in the legs. Cankers are common in this stage due to the excessive bacteria in the mouth.



Stage 4 (Day 16 to 30)
The body is completely adapted to the fasting process. There is more energy and clarity of mind. Cleansing periods can be short with many days of feeling good in between. There are days when the tongue is pink and the breath is fresh. The healing work of the organs is being completed. After the detoxification mechanisms have removed the causative agent or renders it harmless; the body works at maximum capacity in tissue proliferation to replace damaged tissue. While a short fast will reduce the symptoms, a longer fast can completely heal. Homeostatic balance is at optimum levels. The lymphatic system is clean except for a rare discharge of mucus through the nose or throat. After day 20, the mind is affected with heightened clarity and emotional balance. Memory and concentration improve.



Stage 5(Day 30 to ?)
(Breaking the Fast with the genuine return of Natural Hunger) Shelton.
The Breath, which during all or most of the fast has been offensive, becomes sweet and clean.
The Tongue becomes clean. The thick coating which remained on it throughout most of the fast vanishes.
The Temperature, which may have been sub-normal or above normal, returns to exactly normal, where it remains.
The Pulse becomes normal in time and rhythm.
The Skin reactions and other reactions become normal.
The Bad Taste in the mouth ceases.
Salivary Secretion becomes normal.
The Eyes become bright and eye sight improves.
The Excreta loses its odor. The Urine becomes light.

The primary indication that the fast is to be broken is the return of hunger; all the other indications are secondary. Often one or more of these secondary signs are absent when hunger returns, but one should not refrain from breaking the fast when there is an unmistakable demand for food, merely because the tongue, for example, is not clean. Inasmuch as all the signs do not invariably appear in each case, do not hesitate to break the fast when hunger returns.

Like you say I think a lot of people want a shortcut, but this shortcut actually works and it isnt broscience or garbage. I think a lot of people find it easier to fast for a little while, than to maintain a restricted diet for a really long time. If you fast and wxercise you can lose weight stupid fast, but with a restricted diet its really slow, and you still feel hungry all the time. You will kind of mess with your metabolism and im sure there are many health consequences from eating nothing, but you return to fine health once you start eating again.

There really aren't, if it's not retarded. Fat provides all the energy needs + vitamins. While protein gets recycled from old cells. It's in fact beneficial to you (anti cancerogenic). Myriads of studies supporting fasting benefits.
Everything needs to be done using logic. If you're 10% bf and decide to do x days fasting - that's flat out stupid.
If you're fat, the only problem might end up being saggy skin. Tbh idc, but all the fat people should be shot and used as a biofuel. No exceptions.
