Different types of fasting

[georgegeorgia]

Now I want to try fasting , never did it 

There is different types of FASTING 

Just watched a YouTube older mature aged bodybuilder saying he goes on a 48 hours DRY FAST ,that means absolutely nothing to eat or drink 

 

For you who go on fasts please tell me what you personally feel

 

Will I feel tired after say 12 hours !

Is the "energy" kick after a few days real ?

What your method ?

Weekend fast?

I don't fancy this Dry fast 

 

So water ,tea , black coffee is ok ?

Do not, if in Thailand or elsewhere with hot climate, do a fast that excludes water, nto even for 48 hours.

I fast twice a week,  only protien shake at 0600 am, plenty of water thru the day, eat fruit in afternoon, banana before sleep, don;t eat until 1000 next day………….took a year, now I am not near as ‘hungry’ as I used to be - intermittant fasting ‘teaches’ the body to not be hungry.  I have lost 72lbs in last 3 years, all visceral fat……..anything faster could be damgerous to us older folks, I am 75…………..persistance is the key, also I don't drink alcohol whatsoever, one can argue the health benefits of a beer or two, but that leads to three, four, ten………get my drift??

I’ve tried fasting.  Never a dry fast, though. Just the kind of fast where you’re only allowed water.  The first time I tried three days.  They say that’s a good amount of time. Anyway, it’s not hard to do, and there are a lot of benefits.
 

Your body’s initial reaction will be hunger.  You’re addicted to sugar and your body wants a fix.  Ignore it.  With no food, your body will burn through all the glucose circulating in your body, and then it will start to use stored fat as an energy source.  
 

So, day one is a little strange, as is day two.  By day three, the initial hunger goes away and your body is using stored fat. 
 

If you do this, make sure you have some electrolytes with your water.
