Fasting

[Anonymous No.16765636]

Who /not eating/ right now? I have to fast for 3 days as I have 0 money until my paycheck comes in. All I'm gonna have is black coffee and water.

Anyone have ay good tips to share?

Coffee is one of the best tips. It really helps suppress appetite. If you're actually doing a multi-day fast, then you should also work on doing as little as possible. Don't move too much, your calories are precious.

Caffeine and nicotine my brother

Though, as a follow-up, if you're actually fasting because you have no money and not because you want to, then consider going to a foodbank or a shelter or something. 3 days is a lot, and if its your first fast it will likely be painful for you.

I'm not eating right now. I ate earlier. I'll probably eat tomorrow when I break my fast.
This fasting thing is surprisingly easy. No wonder it's so trendy.

Unfortunately there are no foodbanks where I live. I'm a stupid dickhead with money so it's probably good that I learn a lesson through a bit of minor suffering.

It's a commonly available appetite suppressant.

If your stomach feels a bit acidic due to all the coffee, a small pinch of baking soda in water goes a long way. Also don't drink too much water, it just pulls electrolytes out of your body and it doesn't seem like you're replenishing.

What? Are you not in the US? Almost every church of every denomination runs a food pantry. Unless you're way out in the middle of nowhere, you can get free food. The government in your city/state/country also likely has short-term emergency relief food services

Would a 3 Day water fast help with digestive issues or should I just take more fiber like Metamucil? a friend told me to water fast to reset everything. any advice helps

I don't think coffee is a good idea, it causes you to burn more calories and therefore make you need to replace them

3 days isn't too bad, you no longer really feel hungry after the first day. For tips like another anon said go to /fast/ but for just 3 days you don't really need to supplement anything just stay hydrated and you'll be fine

Ive been doing rolling 72s back to back for 3 months, now doing rolling 48s for the last 10 days or so.
When you feel hungry exercise or sleep or play some vidya, the first 2 days are usually the hardest unless you have a good diet prior to it.
You can use sweeteners in your coffee, but if they have an acid as a regulator brush your teeth after or else theyll get sensitive af and wont let you sleep.

Try to get some electrolytes. I won't tell you to buy anything given your situation, but just a teaspoon of regular salt dissolved in a litre of water will help. Obviously get unsalted water too.

Try to get some salt. Preferably coarse, so you get big crystals. Suck on those if the hunger pangs get too much. Helped me out a ton when I was fasting.

>you don't really need to supplement anything just stay hydrated and you'll be fine
You want to supplement salt and electrolytes because it makes fasting a million times easier without denying your body the stress necessary to make repairs and kill off the weakest parts of itself.

t. not medical advice

Will fasting make me lose any muscle? I'm trying to slim up a bit so I can look good for company pictures but don't want to lose any muscle mass.

If you do strength training while keeping >>16767841
protein high the muscle loss will be reduced but otherwise it's unavoidable.

People saying that coffee is good for you are complete idiots.
There are no tips. Drink water if you need to and conserve your energy as much as you can.
For times like this, you can have a stash of high energy food like groundnut.
Look up Isha Foundation.

I can't drink coffee if I'm hungry. Same with cigaretts. Both supress apetite but if you're already hungry it usually makes things worse, at least for me.

How fucking retarded are you? If you have enough body fat it's literally the last thing you lose.

you'll be fine as long as you're hydrated

I fast for weight loss and all I do is

>get up early
>walk all day
>drink a lot (water or unsweetened tea)
>take a small spoonful of salt
>multivitamin plus magnesium, iron and zinc (this might make you feel sick because it's on empty stomach, take immediately before sleeping and you'll likely fall asleep before the nausea hits)
>go to bed early

I have not eaten in 11 days. Not hungry, but I miss eating for sure. Gonna learn how to cook some good stuff for when it's all said and done.

You're going to want to murder someone on day three. It would be advisable that you find a source of nutrients while you still can function. Go to a church or bother a neighbor for five dollars to get some fast food. Sell an item, post on facebook and craigslist in the free and wanted sections. Reach out to a charity, a shelter.

take amphetamine and just don't think about eating.
the desire goes away.
i've been on amphetamine for years and i have to force myself to eat food because otherwise i don't. i've had a granola bar today. that's it. no real desire to eat food. but i'm going to have to go eat something because my blood sugar is going to bottom out soon and i'll get anxious.
