Fasting

1) This isn't fasting this is starving yourself. When you fast you still eat certain things depending on what kind of fast you do.

2) Starving yourself is stupid don't do it.

Bah humans can survive for weeks without food, that's why we have a gene that tells our body to hold onto fat.

However if done for too long you start to look like a bloated monkey.

Exercise is bleh. I preferred taking walks outside,but that's not possible half the year.

This isn't Greece where the weather never dips below 5 C,even in the winter.

It dipped to -20 C this year, it can get really cold. Right now it's 6 C in Athens.

First off.

Are you really going to tell me going a few days without food, is better than going years eating 800 calories a day? Eating well under your caloric requirements for a long period is more like starvation than what you're talking about.

Also, fasting is by definition, not eating.

I am currently on day 1 of what I hope is a 5 day fast. I find after the second day, you don't even want to eat anyways. And your mind is soo clear. I predict I will lose at least 4 pounds,most of it will be glycogen and water, but about a pound of fat as well. Need to start somewhere.
Anyone else tried it?

Just do the ordinary 16-18hour a day intermittent fasting routine imo.

No need for anything extreme like days without food, it could end up staggering your motivation.

but does the method where you dont eat for 1-2 days in the week for 24h also work well ?

It is a very good and healthy thing. Just one tip: don't do any physical labor when fasting because it won't produce results which you expect. Fast when you're free (f.e. during weekends) and can rest, that way it works faster and you won't be exhausted.

I fast only for religious reasons, 2016 I fasted one week. Orthodox Christian fasting means vegan diat+fish is allowed.
