Fasting is cortisol inducing and estrogenic, don't do it

 

[datboijj]

but stop after 3

How on earth is not eating estrogenic.

Yea

Fasting elevates fatty acids that work through the PPARGC1A that activates both the ER (estrogen receptor) and GR (glucocorticoid receptors)

What about eating just a pepper a day?
Or just anything tiny in general

Still cortisol inducing, anytime you feed an organism less energy than it requires, it taps into the cortisol, estrogen, and adrenaline receptors to keep on functioning/use as energy

What about taking estrogen blockers and fasting at the same time?

It's still metabolically damaging

It's still metabolically damaging

But I'm losing weight and getting leaner this way

Works short term, sure, but it's damaging in the long term

 

[Deleted member 8853]

I mean I don't stay like 3 days or so. I just eat once in 24 hrs.

Yes, fasting significantly reduces water retention but the only legit (and healthy) way to get rid of a bloated appearance in the long term is to become lean and eat a balanced diet

fasting for three days will noticeably reduce bloat, even if you take electrolytes (unless youre giga obese or your kidneys dont work or something)

source: i've done 40+ 3+day fasts

occasional short fasting (2-4days with electrolytes) made all my hormone relevant biomarkers improve just dont fast so much you arent getting close to isocaloric on the week

i could see it reducing anabolic hormones if you are in chronic large caloric deficit same as any severe cutting diet so just dont do that and youll be fine

also used to have small issue with psoriatic like inflammatory skin thing triggered by vegetable oil and patches would ALWAYS go away after day three of fasting (nothing else helped except topical steroids which are GAY)

Similar experience here. I was doing IF for a very long time and have been doing OMAD for a few weeks (which has been going very well) and have just done a couple days of waterfasting and my seborrheic dermatitis has improved dramatically. No itching/scaling on my scalp, less hair in the shower and less inflammation on my chin

if you have seb derm bad enough to have chronic scalp itching, hair shedding, itching/scaling in the beard area I 100% recommend doing a period of strict carnivore elimination diet before reintroducing foods one at a time

If I go strict carnivore all of my skin issues disappear completely and my hair looks WAY better, scalp stops itching, no dandruff or scaling in the beard area/etc.

omad/fasting help but imo chronic inflammatory skin issues are number one sign of gut permeability problems which will cause big problem long term
