▲ 3 ▼ day 1 of a 3 day fast (hackertalks.com) submitted 16 hours ago by jet@hackertalks.com [M] to c/carnivore@discuss.online 5 comments fedilink hide all child comments I'm omad normally; just hit 30 hours thinking about food a bit but not hungry. +water+electrolytes+coffee I've been considering adding regular fasting into my schedule, maybe weekend fasts? The longest fast I've done is 5 days before, but that was back when i was doing crappy keto, and now i've been strict zero carb for awhile.

I did a 7 day fast some time ago. https://tube.jeena.net/w/hSpSWFhcCMwVUtBq1CdZJQ permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jet@hackertalks.com [S] 1 point 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 child) Zero carb? How do you do that other than fasting? Fairly straight forward, don't eat anything with carbs in it, which is basically all plant food. Animal sourced foods only have zero carbs (well, technically a bit but not enough to register). We have a community for that lifestyle, welcome! I did a 7 day fast some time ago. https://tube.jeena.net/w/hSpSWFhcCMwVUtBq1CdZJQ Nice! I'm view 72! Have you done any fasts since then? I notice your refeeding had carbs, you might want to avoid that in the future - carbs cause a big insulin response, which might not be fun! From what I've read you want to kick start things back up with protein/fat (the classic egg) for awhile before adding in carbs slowly (and taking a bunch of electrolytes). After your fasting window when you went back onto your normal eating pattern, did the 7kg stay off? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 2 points 13 hours ago (1 child) I have done two three day ones, it was just not practical from a timing perspective so I had to stop them earlier and then somehow to be honest I kind of forgot about it. For me it stays off for some time but over long time it creeps up again and then I need to do something again, etc. Nowadays I'm going to the gym regularly (only twice a week but still much better than not at all before). From a weight loss perspective it doesn't really do anything but I feel much stronger and much less sleepy, etc. When I did Keto about 6 years ago for half a year I lost 30 kg, I gained back 20 of them and now lost 8 of them again but still chasing my lowest from back then, but it's difficult. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jet@hackertalks.com [S] 1 point 13 hours ago When I did Keto about 6 years ago for half a year I lost 30 kg, I gained back 20 of them and now lost 8 of them again but still chasing my lowest from back then, but it’s difficult. sounds like keto really worked for you; was keto itself difficult to maintain? permalink fedilink source parent
