I love fasting! Clear my head better than any meditation 🧘🏻‍♀️
Lately I’ve been doing OMAD (One Mea a Day) and it’s amazing, such a hassle free way of living plus it makes easier to choose something healthy to eat.

The only thing that makes me go OUT OF CONTROL is the munchies 🥴 I would eat the legs of the chairs if i could ha

this is my second year on a ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting. fantastic results!

We need before and after pictures;)

a fellow Keto enjoyer i c XD

Did a ten day fast with only water few months ago..Had the occasional bit of salt and lemon to suppress appetite. Cleared pimples ive had for years, black marks on my skin. Still smoked weed during it..called it my "weed and water" fast
but wow was an amazing experience days 2-3 are the hardest, after that u get a natural body high and u feel intermittent bursts of energy which u should use to do light exercise....was losing over 0.8kg a day..would defo recommend!!
Dr Berg on youtube for more info helped me alot!

It is a very amazing experience to fast. I’ve tried it a few times. Disciplines the mind

Makes you sharper for sure but then maybe too sharp around others.

done this for years found it a bit harder latley though. id wake up 8am and wouldnt eat till 4pm to 7pm never felt hungry to a point ide suffer so didnt have any issue doing it. since covid i have been eating earllyer due to feeling starved by 1pm will i get back to old self probabby not since having covid twice now eating in general is not what it used to be like taste and texture not the same anymore.

You wind up saving a lot of weed I find :)

i actually use the weed (sativa) to suppress appetite

ha! in my case it is not so. my metabolism went up. and I can now drink and smoke more than before ;) with much less bad side-effects

I've been on and off 17/7 for the last year and I feel I reached a plateau.. I wonder if I should try OMAD or one day on, one day off.. Any one have any tips on how to not stuff your face once your fasting time is up?!

My app tells me I have fasted 8277 hours! i tend to eat between 12-8pm and have lost a total of 4 stone, im not sure ive noticed many mental benefits though other than not berating myself constantly haha If anyone wants a good tracker app, I use Fastic.

I have 18 hours between eating everyday which seems to help me anyways. Best thing I’ve done is pair that with stopping all processed foods and sugar. grass fed biltong and walnuts are my snack of choice. Milk thistle, moringa powder, turmeric, cayenne and Ceylon washed down with ginger juice is definitely worth trying too.

Yeah, I do it once a year. Did do it for detox and lose some weight but recently it's been a more spiritual experience.

First few days or week are always tough. No caffeine, nicotine or cannabis makes me cranky as f......

Liquid fastin' on ol' e cuh

I would really urge anyone who is or is planning to fast to get a checkup at their GP first. Make sure your vitamineral levels are good.
A few years back I was addicted to speed and consistently went 4-6 days without food (and sleep) when one day I just fell over and woke up in the hospital the day after. I was apparently on the verge of starving to death even though I'm a tubby motherphoenix, so stay safe friends!

I do it daily, love it feel clean

I’ve always naturally kinda fasted. Never really had breakfast or lunch. I do have coffee or tea so break my fast I guess with the milk. But I only really eat my evening meal about 7/8pm and then might snack again with the munchies till about 2am. I’m not a massive eater tho and could probs do with eating more.

i fast maybe every 2-3 days for a day sometimes 2 , longest i ever fasted was 9 days. also i mainly only eat one meal a day (Unless im toking) Munchies make it way to hard too fast XD

I went through a phase a few years ago of doing three day water fasts. Always felt very serene on the last day. By the time it came to actually eat again, I wasn't that bothered!

I generally don't eat until about 5pm. Still overweight due to munchies. But have halved sugar and doubled cardio and weights with really impressive results.

Just starting Out my own fast, just water only for the last 48 hours.

Going to try it once a week (for the health benefits)

No bad side affects so far, just not able to eat socially can be a downer when your on it.

How are you getting on? I’ve been intermittent fasting (16:8) for a while, always tempted to do a 48 or 72 hour fast, so like a full body reset

Do it bro.. its amazing..but must say first 72 hours are usually the hardest..after that your body starts using its own fat reserves more efficiently.. so would suggest 7-10 days if u can.. everyday after the 3rd ull see benefits and increased energy levels..

Wow! That’s a long one haha Do you experience much muscle wastage in that time? Burning a bit of fat is never a bad thing though haha

I stopped for now, but honestly I felt much more healthy when I was doing the fast and need to jump back on or at least reset my diet yet again… too many Greg’s tuna baguettes at 10 am during the week plus weekend take away has ruin my diet.

Too much processed foods.

The fast is an easy way to reset body and diet and just great for the mental.

going to go for a half day fast on Monday and steadily creep up to a 48/72 hour fast over the next couple weeks

yeah that’s the downfall of our diets these days, everything is just so easy to get our hands on. Access to food constantly, I always have a bit of a relapse at weekends haha deadly case of the munchies 😂 I will most definitely do a 48 hour one soon I think, I seem to get on quite well with 16:8 and like you said you feel healthier

after my fasts i usually make a big pot of spicey Chanko or ramen and have it for days after XD

i like to brake fast with the least appealing healthiest foods i can get my hands on, basically their day in the sun

48 is right when it starts feeling a wee bit psycho. like you're going to eat a side of beef or nothing ever again.

that said i find the hardest part is compatibility with others and meal times

I agree, a big portion of connections with other people is around dinner time. Hard to miss.

reading the article it seems like what they lose is their identity.

super interesting, thank you

Whats with the-dash?

Is-senile

if you're talking epitalon its injected under muscle or skin daily for 10 days.

orally you can use endoluten which is extracted from cattle peneal glands. 20mg a day for 20 days,

So this is a synthetic peptide, not the extraction from bovine pineal glands?

One of the first confirmed cases of vCJD was in a French body builder who took bovine growth hormone that was extracted from the pituitary. Very interesting case.

That's something that's stuck in my mind for many years. Probably longer ago than learning that your telomeres degrading goes pretty much hand in hand with aging. Think I need to look at more recent research papers on PubMed.

Na i watched highlander and dracula (Who wants to live forever?) not me im fine with what nature intended.

amazing stuff, id also be interested in learning more

Peptide bioregulators are available in oral supplement form.

Drink a lot of water. It's crazy how little people drink. I go through 2 L before noon (you're almost always dehydrated after sleep - drinking coffee/tea dehydrate you even more). Then another 2-3 L for the rest of the day.
Besides occasional coffee in the morning (once or twice a week) I don't drink anything besides water.
I can't see a difference in my own health anymore (because I live like that for over 5 years now), but when I see my old pictures and how my skin looked like when I was constantly dehydrated - the change is huge. 14 years of acne went away without drugs or expensive creams. Only cream I use now is "fifty:50" (50% liquid paraffin, 50% white soft paraffin). So much money and stress saved.

Remember - skin is the largest organ in the body, but we tend to forget about it. It's the first and largest barrier against toxicity of your environment and keeping it in 'good shape' is very important for overall health (not only for cosmetic reasons).

Agreed. Water is powerful. Stay hydrated biggaz <3

Agreed on this completely. I drink so much water but I'd add it shouldn't be tap water. Nothing in life is free not even water

Good quality tap water is a start and better choice than plastic bottled water.

For filtering I would suggest reverse osmosis filter (just for drinking water, don't install it for your boiler). Brita filters, if properly maintained, are good start as well.

I would love a reverse osmosis filter but to pricey for me at the moment so highland spring it is.

and an extra glass for every joint

Go for a walk somewhere peaceful every day.

Not texting, nor gramming, or catching up with phonecalls.

Give your brain back the space and peace that the early 21st century took away, even if just for 20 minutes.

tea over coffee

Totally agree we should all drink more and think about what we’re putting in our bodies but tea and coffee have been proven to be hydrating and found towards liquid intake cudnt not defend my coffee sorry :)

I do love both tea and coffee as well, the problem is most people put milk and sugar which then probably ruins it

Mixing citrus juice with your green or black tea increase the amount of antioxidants absorbed by a factor of four. Without milk and sugar of course;)

Also eat your organic lemons whole.

Despite watering it right down, ACV gives me gut ache. Shame as there are so many potential benefits and for people who need help balancing their blood sugar levels it’s fantastic.....

Yeah that's a shame for you but you should try it on your skin it works wonders also

littlebiggy: media confirmed by cannabis

very interesting, gotta wonder about the rest of these now

Although in fairness Tico’s do live a long life due to all the factors mentioned. Although that is quickly being eroded by obesity after the arrival of American fast food chains. Real shame…beautiful people ❤️

really interesting

Until the almighty takes him away

We are all over fasting 16:8 / OMAD (One Meal a Day) - 24 and 72 hour fasts, highly recommend it. There are so many facets to it, physically and emotionally better, clearer mind, feeling of connection and spirituality.

Couple of pointers that really helped us in the early stages:
1. You need to have a good relationship with food before you embark on any type of fasting
2. Think about the types of foods you regularly eat - heavy on carbs, processed foods, levels of protein and fats. Carbs tend to generate appetite and cause those hunger pains so its worth thinking about balancing more with proteins / fats so you can move your body into sources of energy from good fats / protein.
3. Do you eat breakfast or skip? Normally eat late dinners. Worth working out when is best to have the 16:8 period - tends to be easier to skip breakfast and have your eating window between 12-8pm
4. Making sure that the last meal you eat is as "nutritious" as possible. Meaning making sure its fully of good, healthy foods reach with good fats as these are the last to leave the digestive system and therefore provide satiety.
5. Make sure you keep busy for the first few days you do your fast as you will probably think about food more because you are restricting yourself (typical when you cant have something, its all you think about!). After a few days you will start to get into a rhythm with it.
5. Try not to fall into the temptation of over-eating or treating yourself to "naughty" foods because you have been so good in the day ;-)

Hope that helps friend, fasting is part of our lives now and not only have we seen weight loss but we have much more energy, we don't seem to get sick anymore and more importantly we have a better understanding of what foods work and don't serve us

Peace biggaz :-)

Good advice and very thorough, thanks 🙏

this bigga

Is it something similar to intermittent fasting? I heard a lot of positive opinions about it.

We thought you was referring to a 16:8 light schedule for your plants. 16hrs light, 8hrs darkness. . Until we read the comments 😂

Doh!🤣

Been there, done that

Totally into it. I tend to eat within an 8 hour window everyday and I have never been healthier (I'm 40 btw). Me and me mammy were talking about this for her digestion yesterday. She's even starting to have trouble with some veg so her digestion needs addressing.
I concur with the Psychonauts (hey guys! Love ya!), one needs to have a good mental and emotional relationship with food to get the best out of fasting. Personally, if I had three wishes one would be that we don't need to eat unless we want to for pleasure, I found the whole thing time consuming and would rather just do something else. I learning to appreciate each mouthful through conscious eating. Fasting seems to help with this for me.
I hope you find something that works for you. ❤️

Are you into fitness, nutrition etc mate? Not that it specifically had its benefits to the fitness industry but how I used it anyway. I'd highly recommend it as wirght loss technique and to improve general life health. I'd retype what psycho typed but he pretty much everything on the head

thanks buddy! glad you've seen results from it :-)

In some parts of India fasting it's referred has Ekadashi (2 x month)
It's align with moon phase and when our bodies are more open to this process.
It's a super powerful cleansing. It's also quite challenging

Very cool would be easier if you shared it with a community like that

Psyconauts explain it very well in top of this post .
If you have any specific questions feel free to DM.

Ok but how do you know you've bought the good shit?

from the source my boy

I imagine you have secured drilling rights

the smell from bacteria

Ahhhh
Good vs Bad guy Anaerobic bacteria is impossible to tell without a microscope friend.

My dog will live forever!….her breath will continue to stink but she’ll live forever! 😳

Not unless she ate shit thats from a dog or animal that's not well. They they become them down the line too. Its basiccally just adding good bacteria's into your body and it's the same benefits and no need for actual shit. so load ur doggo up with probiotics. and good bacteria's. Same idea.

When you have antibiotic your healthy bacteria are killed and takes up 3 to 6 months using fecal transplant to restore beneficial bacteria. This study shows that a person's own gut in fecal mattercan be frozen to restore patients healthy gut eco system. Jj

You can also take a good prebiotic and probiotic supplement whilst taking antibiotics, well regularly really and eat natural yogurt regularly too

I wonder if this plays any part in explaining why statistically, almost every old / senior person in a position of power or authority is so full of shit?

a lifetime of getting your ass kissed has got to be a factor here

Hitler's doctor, Theodor Morell, used to prescribe Mutaflor - a probiotic isolated from a German soldier's shit in 1917 - to treat the Fuhrer's IBS. It's still sold today.

On a lighter note, two of my friends performed a transplant in an amateur effort to fix the other's gut problems. They've decided to call themselves 'the bum chums' since it all came out. Not very PC, but they get away with it because they're both gayer than Liberace.

Link please ☺️

If you want something comprehensive on drugs and the Third Reich...

The history of Mutaflor is easily googled. 👍🏻

Valid research finding, despite strong RCT’s. But for ease, and “less grossness” (😂), not that I mind grossness if necessary.
Why not supplement with pre&pro-biotics and increase fibre for increased gastro motility?

Maybe we re-live until we don’t make the same mistakes and transcend to a more enlightened level of being/energy?

And this also

it said shit not bullshit ;)

This

dying is ok

i wonder though, will i ever be again? what was all this for? will i repeat this forever like groundhogday? was all this and accident? like was i the quick sperm?

Good questions.
Yes, it is all an accident, and your ability to ask that question i.e your conscience is little more than an overloaded neural dump.
On a positive note the odds of you being here, your sperm, egg, your moment is simply incredible, universally nuts.
Entropy means you will go back to the cosmos, back to your scattering of atoms that formed you, which is quite beautiful really and just how it should be.
There is no reason why there are not infinite universes and infinite versions of you, all existing together, right now. 😘

Samsara,you will be reborn,life death,life death,life death until you realise enlightenment then you will transcend samsara.
The Realisation that you are not what you think you are.

I think we've all had a go at being dead, pre being born. Can't recall much from then so reckon best I can hope for is to be food for worms.

speak for yourself

we will all die someday

someday is not a fixed number and has been extended over the course of human knowledge.

Yes, and a necessary part of the course/journey/learning?

South Park was on it, how did they know?

Fuck me, if only this was an option in 2019 :)

Also some other noteworthy switches here:

He says they currently think the brain’s hypothalamus—known as the seat of control for hormones, body temperature, mood, hunger and circadian rhythms—may also act as a regulator of aging.

Other approaches that have been discovered to have anti-aging benefits in animals include calorie restriction, the drug rapamycin and parabiosis—the practice of giving old mice a blood supply from younger ones. The fact that these diverse strategies all seem to work suggests there may be more than one way to age, and that multiple complementary therapies may be needed to significantly extend longevity,

'Parabiosis' - also known as vampire facials in Hollywood. Yes that's right, Kim Kardashian has aborted fetus blood rubbed on her face. This is common practice. Loreal also a whole range of more expensive products with this in it. Also 'Blood boys' are a profession. This is a rabbit hole you don't want to go down as usually the source of this blood is disturbing.

A vampire facial is carried out using a person's own plasma that's separated in a centrifuge from their extracted blood

yes very creepy when money is traded for life itself but it seems an ethical market is possible as healthy people have a surplus and all the means for extraction and testing are really well established.

Andrenachrome?

You don’t need much. Just a tiny taste.

What is epigenetic treatment consist of?

Also did you know that you can slow down your biological aging by eating right, exercising right and your mindset plus environment by up to 3 times
