Who /fasting/ here?
Abstaining from food is an excellent way to cultivate discipline and break down mental barriers.
I just ate the last food I'm going to have tonight and now I will be fasting for 36 hours to help me gather my strength before dealing with family Christmas gatherings.

Not to question capabilities, but wouldn't you be speaking too soon anon?

>not eating food to "gather strength"
that's not how things work, anon.
>>25188454
MENTAL strength. Mind over matter and all that.
>>25188433
I need food since i work out pretty often
>>25188469
That still doesn't make sense. Just east sensibly and exercise.

Stop with the self improvement crap. We're done chasing shadows.

Eating sensibly and exercising will do way more for your mental fortitude than starving yourself.

you should also go for a long midnight walk in shorts and a singlet, no underwear.
you're not going to be drinking water for 36hrs too right? that wouldn't be lethal so it only seems like a logical addition.
finally, you should cut pictures of your choice into your skin, proving once and for all that you have mental superiority over your physical body.
the pictures you carve into your skin should read:
A U T I S T I C

I fast frequently but it's only because I have AN, its fucking stupid and useless if you don't hate yourself.
Fasting is fucking awesome.
I try to fast about a day a week, sometimes more, sometimes less- depending on how my body feels slash how often I'm tripping.

Holy fuck

I actually read somewhere that fasting helps with brain development, not like every day but about two days out of the week. It's closer to how our ancestors do it and creates a challenge in the brain which starts a process of killing off excess processes not befitting your body like white blood cells that are half defective. Could be bullshit but I'll give it a shot and find out myself.
I'll start the fast now my friend

Do you just drink water? Do you take vitamins or anything?
Also, did you prep for this with shorter fasts?
I'm gonna fast too
i want to do 3+ days but am afraid i wont be able to make it
I've read that brief fasting. Like only 3 days, let's your digestive tract heal and your body to regulate itself. It lowers bp and blood sugars if you have high of either
I'm gonna try it
>36 hours
>mental strength
LEL
come talk to me when you break 10 day kiddo, not eating for 1.5 days is a joke

Just got off a 24 hour fast. Prayed to God during most of it and remembered the people I've wronged. Called them up and mended a few friendships.
I didn't eat for 20 days and I saw God. It was a revelationary experience.
>>25190605
Ice chips help if your hunger pangs kick in.
>>25190783
You saw God or Jesus? What was it like? Did you become saved?
>>25190783
Also nice pun with the revelationary phrase.
i cant even fast for 12 hours
>>25188569
>The "all I have in life is food and my computer" anon.
It's actually quite nice. You feel healthier and more at peace afterwards.
Not eating is non healthy and dangerous on body
>tfw mom just bought high quality ice cream
>tfw for me a diet is all or nothing
>tfw no sweets for a month and abs are starting to show but I'm completely miserable
If I even have one taste of ice cream I will eat everything in my house

Starvation mode doesn't kick in for at least 10 days, not eating for a week is going to make you grumpy and tired, but you will be fine. Iron deficiency is the only thing to watch for.
>>25188433
hope everything goes well for you
Are you supposed to take vitamin or other supplements during a fast???????
>>25190912
True. Your body begins breaking down proteins for energy but then switches metabolism so you don't go through tissue failure. If you refrain from eating too long, it fucks up your metabolism irreverisbly.

Nah, fasting is no worse than binge drinking or eating.
Now a dry fast (no water) was hard for me.
No food is easy after day 2, I lasted about 5 days. Without water went roughly 4.
It gets weird without water.
A great experience and damn does real food taste good after that.
My first apple and broth were amazing.
>>25191116
are you supposed to eat certain foods when you break your fast? i mean to ease your digestive system back to life gently
