How many other lies?

[Friggemall]

WOW! Interested to hear how it works for you! I have never done even a full 24 hour. I thought of starting to pull a few here and there.

Is that normal for you on BP? I know the bigger dudes in general have higher bp by nature of larger body mass. You definitely dont look 'small'
Hell, I cant even function if I hit 130 or above. The one time I bulked and peaked at 240, I had to back off as my BP going to 130 gave me crushing headaches.

Yes my systolic is generally at least 140 to 150. Runs in my family. I do take a baby asprin but didn't take anything but my gh and AAS during the fast. I'm also on anadrol so that is probably making it higher than normal and I added more salt than I generally take in a day too so both those are contributing.

Finished the fast last night. My shoulder workout was still great but I honestly about fell asleep between one of the sets & I was only resting about 60 seconds. LOL I did have some heartburn/acid in my throat from all the salt yesterday. Left the gym and it was really bothering me and I threw up just a little, tasted like damn near all salt. Felt fine after that though.
First meal was just a cup of beef broth. Then 1.5 hours later chicken broth. This morning fasted weight was 229lbs only down a total of 2 pounds but I look like I lost more visceral fat that the scale shows. Went ahead and had my normal breakfast this morning, 1/2 cup oats with berries, 1 cup egg whites, 4 oz bison. cup of coffee. My weight cap is 230 for classic. and I am right where my coach wants me.

I am now 60 hours into a 72 hour water fast. Basically doing 2 cups of coffee, 2 green teas and ~ 1 gallon water (use a 1 liter bottle with 1/4 tsp sea salt).

Workouts have still been fine and post w/o cardio..still only 20 minutes per coach. (didn't tell him I'm fasting though so I'd be in trouble for that lol)
BP this morning was still 150/80 and BG has been holding in 80's but this morning it was 58. Surprisingly this morning I was only down1.5 pounds so far.
I feel fine other than some brain fog and the shakes from no food. Not starving like I thought I would be.
Goal is to lose visceral fat and autophagy
11 weeks and 3 days out

I used to do a 24hr fast every weekend. Which is supposed to be good for autophagy. But I didn’t get rid of visceral fat until I cut down to around 8%bf. If you’re doing a show I would think prep alone would do a good job getting rid of that visceral fat. Were you already in a deficit leading into that fast? Think the longest fast I did was like 36 hours. 3 days is impressive man! @beefnewton is only other person I’ve known to do long fasts like that. How are you feeling now that the fast is over?

Yea I did 29-day water fast once. Once into full-on ketosis, my energy levels were great. Mentally sharp and emotionally smooth. At 18 days, though, stomach pain started creeping up. Best I could guess it was h. pylori which doesn't die off in a fast like candida; it just retreats into your stomach lining and starts eating it. I lasted until 29 days until I couldn't take the pain anymore. I pushed breaking the fast way too aggressively though. Second or third day (I can't remember), I had shrimp and grits. I dearly paid for that mistake.

 

[SAD]

I’ve done a few 3 day water fasts and a few 36hr dry fasts over the last 2 years. I won’t get into all the benefits that science backs up, I’ll just tell you that I will continue to do them every so often because they absolutely improve my overall health in a variety of ways. Have some discipline and give it a shot. Mindset going into it is hugely important.

Just another in a long line of pseudo intellectuals. I'm kinda shocked he wasn't promoted to VIP or board of directors instantly.
