Snake Fast's before and afters aren't that motivating - he still looks kinda fat/normie.

You said it would raise SMV, and you'd get to 10% body fat, but most of the snake diet before/after people still look low physical SMV, or high BF.

I've experimented with fasting since you posted this, have completed one 18 hour fast, one 24 hour fast, and i'm going to try a 48 hour fast next weekend.

The fasting results on snake diet's Instagram aren't that impressive - we'll see how it works for me.

Thank you SMLM. I was getting caught in that eating frenzy where I have to eat continuously fearing the loss of gains. I fasted 24h yesterday and today I see I look great and haven't loss an ounce of muscles. We need this fasting hormonal setup. Insulin sensitivity, increase of GH... And fasting made me even spare time, having 2 meals less to cook. I'll never go back.

Do you have any real tips for people who need to take medications(very real need for health issues)? Taking my medication on an empty stomach absolutely takes me on a one way trip to stomachache city. It makes me feel like my guts are actually tearing themselves apart for 2-3 hours after. It wouldn't be the biggest deal but I have to take my meds twice a day. Any way you know of to fast while stopping that?

Hai, I have problems falling asleep or sleeping through the night, when I had no dinner. Fasting all day and still lifting is no prob for me but fcking sleep does not work with empty stomach... Does somebody else have the same problem or a solution to it?

This is weird... Maybe this is why I stay so skinny even though when i eat its usually junk... when i started gymming and watching what i ate everyday i went up 2 stone in a month!

I sometimes went whole days without eating, and some days ate 3 takeways.. large portions as well full sides the works... with afters!

Have you had to manage your stomach acid during your fasts? I’ve tried fasting before and sometimes it goes great. Sometimes there isn’t enough tums in the world to suppress my stomach acid and have to stop my fast due to the constant heartburn.

I fasted for Four whole days. No butter/cream/bars/lemon. Literally no calories not even diet sodas. Just mineral water. Was already ~9.8 body-fat. Didn't lose muscle. Was still deadlifting 100kg for reps and reps on day 3 (I weigh around 66kg). Heck one time I did college sports day on the second day of a fast and came second (after a club rugby player). Didn't lose strength. I must say that on day 3 moving around is slightly hard but you can call on tremendous energy if you want to but it's more explosive and I feel your body is trying to conserve energy for a last hunt or something. Food cravings are intermittent. Definitely look super shredded due to less water retention. I was never overwright but for any guys worried about having excess skin after losing weight water-fasting mitigates flappy skin during weightloss. Probably due to (1) The huge Growth Hormone increases which up-regulate collagen production and skin health and (2) The autophagy which may kill unwanted (emptied) fat cells for energy. https://youtu.be/2op1t1xNuVg this guy did a video on it.

Dry fasting is where it’s at bro. But hey don’t try convincing the sheep. There’s a reason the 1% is the 1%, the masses are blinded by their own ego. U can put the truth out there and they’ll ignore it

I've done some fasting. Mostly 20hr fast/4Hr feed day. It works for me and it is easy to do. It's not for everyone, I guess, but if you haven't tried it, you can't know.

Jebus the resistance to even a single day of fasting is unreal. I fasted for 20 days and lost 25 lbs. I didn't die, didn't curl up in a ball in the corner of the gym sobbing, didn't develop terminal death syndrome. Yeah, I didn't have the same stamina, but I managed just fine. I pulled 440 before and still pulled an easy 425 the week after I finished. One day a week of fasting is a brain dead simple, zero-effort, way to reduce my weekly calorie intake by 1/7th. Not to mention the increased mental clarity.

Are you still butthurt over people wanting to see how ripped you are?

If you've got health issues caused by deficiencies however, let's say a magnesium deficiency, fasting too much and lifting at the same time can drain you. So know your issue firsthand and dont wreck yourself for the quick shred.

Anything less than three days is hardly a fast, it a usually not until day three that adipose tissue would even mobilize and the feeling of hunger goes away. When people continually fast for 2-3 days they are essentially suffering all the side effects without reaping the full benefits. It's sort of like having withdrawal symptoms without having the benefits of stopping the drug.

Fasting, not just IF, is a key tool for increasing SMV for overweight men. Contrary to popular belief you can get stronger while fasting. Ask me how I know.

It's like the last 40 years we've completely ignored thousands of years of basic biological facts. If you fast for more than a few days the reverse often is true, you get increased levels of adrenaline, your brain switches to ketones, and adipose tissue is mobilized to prevent excessive lean mass loss. People hate to be honest about it, but if you're fat, no matter what you do you're going to lose some lean mass for the greater good. Anyone else set PRs after 5 days of fasting? It can happen.

Dr. Dom D'Agustino (sp?), and Dr. Jason Fung have done some good work in these fields.

My longest fast is 132 hours. Did that one about a month ago.
