Just did a three day fast.

No fruit or vegetables ?

 

No water?

 

How much do you weigh?

 

Interesting. How long did you go on the low carb high fat diet before you started fasting?

I'm not fat or unhealthy (yet), but turning 40 this year and really starting to think about this stuff more seriously.

 

That reminds me , I’m overdue for a nice batch of spaghetti.

 

I heard alot of people find they feel amazing after fasting... me personally I get low blood sugar and become nauseous and have to eat or I will pass out... I am not a fat boy either. 6ft 190 pounds.. I just need to eat atleast once a day.
I do find myself feeling better with eating less than I used to.

 

^ this. Ive had people tell me to fast and sure i can cut my calories a good bit. But more then 14 hours without food and i feel like hammered #### and everything feels much more distant for days after. Also tend to get some nasty cramps too....

But everyones bodys and needs are diffrent tbh.

 

Switching to the op's diet, which is basically keto, takes away any hunger pains, and makes your body burn fat for energy, which is what your body is storing fat for anyway, it is just with a high carb diet, your body has enough carbs for energy and the carbs it does not use get stored as fat. The american food pyramid was brought out to promote seriously high carb intakes, most of the reason they did that is to supplement farming and to keep people farming after the great depression, also high carb food is cheap and easy to produce. When I am on the road I eat one meal a day, and pretty much fast for the rest of the day. I however drink a ton of water, at least a gallon a day, have never tried to not drink water, but feel I wouldn't feel right without being completely hydrated. Might try the no water thing one day when I am not driving, feel like I would be super light headed without drinking it.
