@@rafiwolffe1951 I wish that were true but it never works like that for me. I've done several long fasts and it always ends the same way. I actually end up feeling even more hungry as time goes on and then end up with dangerously low blood sugar, racing heart, I get lightheaded and start to black out upon standing, etc. I have a lot of health issues and it puts my body under too much stress if I go too long and I get sick and a flare of symptoms. I have to find a healthy balance. After this one I'll do a 60 hour fast and try to work my way up to 5 days again. It's an ongoing project, but I haven't made it to 5 days yet because of the above symptoms. The goal is 5 days to reset my immune system to help with MCAS. Sorry, didn't mean to write a book. 😂
@@stoptheinsanityI have the same issues with fasting. Oddly enough, I can do intermittent fasting with no problems. (First food four pm, last food at approximately 9pm) For some reason, I feel nauseous right after I eat. That started about a year and a half ago. I haven’t lost an ounce, though.
@@awakenyewhosleeprealityisn4860 I do IF as well with no issues. Dropping weight is also difficult for me. Do you have thyroid issues? I have Hashimoto's and I'm allergic to thyroid meds so it's not easy to lose weight, but with IF, low carb, and regular exercise it comes off slowly. I also have to avoid inflammatory foods. There are few things I can eat without having a reaction.
Watching this while being 38 hours in my fast :), feeling fine. Consuming: 1) Black coffee 2) Green tea/Matcha tea 3) Cinnamon 4) Ginger 5) Turmeric 6) Rosemary-Water 7) Electrolytes. Guess where I learned that ;)?
Reframing hunger as a benefit is a brilliant strategy to achieve one's fitness, dietary, health goals. Even if all the data mentioned was false, the placebo effect for this point of view would work wonders. Top tier video. Good job.
Such an educational video! Great stuff Thomas, thanks for the useful tips. Question... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a fat-loss meal plan from them and I love it.
All November my wife and I have skipped carbs for dinner. We’ve actually lost weight and I do go to bed a bit hungry but wake up energized and feeling good
@@DiamondHobbit not true at all. Never been above 12% body fat in my life, and i have eaten everything under the sun in large quantities. I'm just very active.
@@DiamondHobbit how is protein high calorie? hahaha the highest calories per gram of all macronutrients is fat. Carbohydrates and protein both have 4 calories per gram and fat has 9 calories per gram. That doesnt mean fat is unhealthy. Ask almost anyone in the health field and theyll tell you to limit carbohydrates and increase protein and healthy fat intake to lose weight and be healthier.
I just did my very first prolonged fast at 60 hours - I healed so much inflammation and bloating and feel like a $1,000,000 bucks :) all thanks to you! Thank you so much!!!
Thomas videos like these helped me to change my perspective on how I feel about being hungry and fasted! I used to think I was becoming catabolic and anxious, but now I know that hunger and fasting with some exercise is muscle retaining and anti-inflammatory.
I found this out while dieting down from 197 lbs to currently 185 in the last 5 months. To actually lose weight I have to be a bit hungry throughout the day to actually lose any weight. I take breaks from time to time, usually weekends, that's why it's taking me awhile plus I don't want to over do it and lose too much muscle in the process. It takes some getting use to, just don't go too aggressive and the hunger is manageable.
Wow I've been telling friends that you have to be okay with being hungry when you want to lose weight. This video will help them understand what I mean ! Excellent 💛
I really like the feeling of slight hunger. As I started watching this I really wanted to eat some of my wife’s ice cream. But instead I drank some water and my hunger dropped dramatically. Now it’s time for bed just barely hungry. Perfect advice for me.
Doing another 36 hr fast and this video is making the hunger a good thing. Great mind shift, thank you! The mind is so powerful I'm used to doing fine OMAD and when I know I'm fasting I get hungry early. I also notice if I go to sleep a little hungry I don't wake up hungry so it's interesting. Embrace the ghrelin!
Great information! love being hungry before I eat. I never eat unless I'm hungry. Also, if I have a graze day, like on vacation, my HRV and recovery are as low as it is after drinking alcohol! Also, I stopped munching while I cook decades ago. Been using fasting since 1978.
I been doing keto for 2 months, recently doing OMAD (just haven’t been hungry enough to eat twice). This video has pushed me to do a 48h fast. I’ll drink until 7pm tonight and do the last 24h hard dry for extra benefits. Ready to break on Friday evening :) Stay blessed in Yah’s name.
@@jeffdowns999 Yes, no water. The best explanation of this unique method , in my opinion is in “ Explanations to dry fasting, Hump-36”, 6 pages document, free and in easy to understand language. Just goggle it. This is powerful method.
Large dinner (high protein high fiber moderate fat low carb) is a huge motivator for me to go crazy in the gym and work hard throughout the day. Light dinner is something I won’t be able to do
I always feel amazing when not eating after 20 hours fast. I fast every day 18-20 hours. The longer I fast the better I feel. I don't do longer extended fast due to my low BMI (wish I can gain weight to be able to do 48 hours fast) I barely feel hungry or having any issues with 24 hours fast I randomly practice, even though I have great appetite when eating (love foods, but only the real natural Foods, not snacks foods human created). Our body really need serious breaks and frequently, to release from constant hard work. We all need vacation so does our body. And when it's happy, you're feeling good. You always bring in important subject to educate the community. Thank you.
They gave the folks in the study MK-677 (Ibutamoren). This is a growth hormone secretagogue. It is a ghrelin receptor agonist that binds to the Ghrelin receptor and triggers the body to produce more growth hormone. I think it is a bit of a stretch to conclude that being a little hungry makes the body produce GH when they were given a chemical that specifically triggers the body to produce more GH.
I am a huge fan of Mark Sisson! I have been paying attention. Been doing this for 4 months and lost 30 lbs doing all that EASILY. Also trying to do a 24 hour fast once or twice a week. I’m so glad I watched this. I also workout on a fasted stomach and it gets rid of this hungry feeling for about 1.5 hours. Check out his video on how to sprint every 7 to 10 days. He says nothing cuts up your body like sprinting once a week. I’m so glad you know him. He is my hero. Helped me turn my Ulcerative Colitis around. I’m so grateful
I've intermittent fasted for 8 years with many different protocols. One thing I've noticed for a long time, is when I don't get hungry on a fast (I fast a minimum of 24 hrs) I reap fewer benefits.
Could that mean you’re fasting so often that your body has responded by slowing your metabolism? Apparently it does that to reduce the stress on your body. I’m sure that happened to me when I was fasting for 16-20 hours every single day. I guess when it becomes too easy, it’s because your body no longer interprets it as an acute period of stress anymore, and therefore doesn’t respond the way we want it to. I have to force myself to get up and eat 3 separate meals some days. That way, when I DO fast it’s a helluva shock. I got that idea from this channel. Alternate day fasting
Yeah I try to mix it up to confuse my body. These days I find it really uncomfortable to eat "normally", but l have to even if it makes me feel terrible. People just don't see how all those calories are hurting them. It's this never-ending cycle of I feel like crap so I'll eat some crap. Then take a nap and eat more crap. Rinse repeat. Insanity.
@@garyjenson8262 Yep, I did 15k steps and worked out biceps and shoulders while fasted, decided to skip food and water today and break my 48h fast tomorrow evening instead with a 24h hard dry fast thrown in. Keep mixing it up, go by how you feel. I fully believe you can build muscle without eating so much protein so have no issues fasting, dry fasting and keep working out.
As a benefit, if you get light cardio when hungry, you'll most likely find that you don't feel hungry anymore. I like to fast on Saturday and/or Sunday, and I take the opportunity to get in some long walks. If I ate the previous day, I'll do some resistance training.
@@M3M3D14 I found it depends how hard I work out. If I work out really hard, I'll get really hungry, but a bit later. I presume that's because gluconeogenesis can happen while exercising, but at some point after you stop, the blood sugar crashes. Of course, I could be completely wrong. 😉
I agree with carbage man. I've started walking after work on weekdays and am able to skip dinner altogether most nights as I'm not too hungry then. Compared with a few months ago when I was doing no exercise at all and buying burger chips and coke at drive-through on the way home from work most days! 🤣 It really is a no brainer
our coach used to say you gotta be hungry to win. he was right as the hunger activates the hunter/gatherer so you can get some food. I always performed better athletically when I was a little bit hungry. the hunger always faded once physical activity increased. only returning once the workout session had ended.
You don't have to be hungry to get these benefits. Just put a little apple cider vinegar in with psyllium husk and water. This drink creates a feeling of fullness and eliminates hunger emotions, and my understanding only benefits the fasting process. I'm very skinny with a high metabolism and I get shaky and I have lots of anxiety when I fast sometimes. Even though my body is keto trained to make my own blood sugar from fat. Even when I do the keto diet and don't have enough fiber, I'll get anxiety. Taking psyllium husk while being in a fasting state has mostly eliminated the anxiety that I experience when in a caloric deficit.
I eat 10% more than my recommended daily calorie needs (in accordance to my Apple App 1900 calories active and resting combined) in a 4 day on 3 day off 18/6 fast. I am clean Keto 7 days a week and 2050-2100 calories everyday. In 30 days, My legs grew an inch, calves 1/2 inch, shoulders 2 inch and lost 1 inch on chest, 3 inch on waist and remained neutral on biceps BUT I went from 12.5 down to 11.4% Body Fat (according to Arboleaf Biometric Scale). No need to reduce calories if your eating clean and fasting with discipline. I can share all my meals, macros and workouts if anyone is curious how and what
Thomas Could You please make a video about the importance of eating up to 80% and Stopping, and how long it would take for me to get used to it- Please - !! . I struggle with Stopping - … Thank you so much!
Hey Thomas, maybe you want to have an interview with Nassim Taleb, he has been talking aboult the Cochrane study that said that saturated fats cause CVEs. Also maybe address The Liver King story. The truth is important and your involvement to find it might help for real
yo straight up, if the mind pump guys had u on the show, I think that'll be one badass episode. the content u both put out makes the most sense together. 👌🏾 💯
I ended fraction fasting today 10 hours.. and I've done this a few times before and wondered if there were any benefits thanks for making the video always happens at the right time for me.
The "fractal eating" just gave me an idea - what if you made eating truly random. Like, roll a dice. And use that as reward for some good habit. The dopamine reinforcement would be insane lol (yeah probably not the best of ideas but it does sound weirdly fun.)
I eat twice a day. Keep it in an 8 hour window. Works for me, though I haven't nailed down a good diet yet. The comments section back when led me to Berg and some of his stuff combined here got me around 80 pounds down. Took time and work but I'm there. Just gotta work harder to actually get a physique closer to what I want.😅 Wish the best to good people working toward healthier lives.👍🙏
Your info has been super helpful for me! I’ve been following it 6 years and it keeps me most healthy of my life and maintaining it. I can’t thank you enough and I so wish I had this info when I was a teenager! Thank you so F-ing much!!
Word!! I haven't watched all your videos but to me this is the one that resonates most to me!! I've always felt this way when I was a bit hungry at night I would wake up and sure enough I've lost weight!! I just didn't fully get the link or atleast know hoe to explain this to myself..
40 yrs ago I learned the Japanese have an eating rule that tells them to push away when they were at 80%. When I was a kid my grandparents used to tell me to leave the table a little hungry. They also had a saying: "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper". If you look at the keto diet, it's the same diet doctors prescribed for type 1 diabetics to control their blood sugar literally over 100 years ago.
I was just sitting here thinking that I’m hungry I usually quit eating between 5 and 6 pm. It’s 9:15 pm and I will be going to bed soon. I don’t always feel hungry in the evening, but now that I know this, I will be less tempted to eat!
My blood pressure normally runs about 140/100. When I'm fasting, it can drop as low as 110/75. Now I know at least part of it. I had assumed it was all some hydration effect.
I feel that having food in my stomach impedes my desire to do physical and partially mental activities. I prefer to go 20 hours per day with no food, and then have a 2 Hours for eating. Just prior to eating, I take a mega dose of psyllium and oat fiber. I've lost 70 lb. because of switching to a low carbohydrate diet, although still taking the mega dose of fiber which does provide some carbohydrates.
On recovery days when I plan to have two meals instead of one, I have one teaspoon of Manuka honey & one tablespoon of Allulose in my coffee with my breakfast. My stomach will start growling around noon until I eat something for supper.
I'm watching this on my lunch break a little bit hungry. I was just thinking some food would be nice and this video pops up. Trying to lose 40lbs from a previous regain. Total loss was 100lbs.
I mean it makes sense if your full after that your brain tells your body to work hard to digest and while your body’s doing that it’s hard to do straight into work so I’ll be hard to focus and you might even stress more
damn i was planning to do 2h of intense gym workout (circuit training) but had so little energy, I only did 1,5h. I was so tired that i was yawning. Maybe that is because before going to the gym, I ate a bunch of carbs?
Usually when I feel hunger, it’s in my throat and causes me enormous pain. And then when I eat its painful to swallow. I don’t feel hunger the way others do. I don’t feel hungry when I fast if I sleep in late. I normally eat when I get a craving, rather than when I’m in the painful midst of hunger.
I always eat 3 times a day, I always feel very full after each meal and a bit hungry in the hour or two before the next. I tried to eat an extra meal before doing sport but it didn't work. I'm Italian and food makes me happy, I'm 36 and my weight is perfect.
i'm doing OMAD and i feel absolutely no hunger. Literally nothing. Even that one meal i'm trying to keep it at appr 600 kcal and high protein low carb such as grilled chicken breasts with rice (half portion) and vegetables.
Thanks for great info Thomas. In earlier vids, you recommended blocking/reducing sugar absorption or reducing blood sugar spikes by combining either Temeric/curcumin and or Cinnamon when eating some carby foods. U didnt give doses. What dose do you recommend for either/both? Thanks-
A teaspoon a day of any and all of them is all you need and is recommended whether you eat clean OR dirty. Add it to your black coffee or green tea… daily
That won't really help with eating carbs or reducing fat gain, you might as well not eat so many carbs, or eat them slower so that insulin is already circulating. I personally changed my belief to believing that insulin is good thing. Large insulin spikes from 1, large meal a day is much healthier than 6 small meals a day. Insulin spikes can be a good thing when we're talking a clean diet low in fructose(insulin spikes can come from large amounts of protein for example).
@@hempwick8203 Exactly. Those items help regulate blood sugars. Only Apple Cider Vinegar is shown to literally reduce blood sugars by as much as 20-50% depending on the type of carb consumed. Dr Berg did a video on ACV. I recommend cinnamon and such JUST for stabilization, especially for diabetics with wonky readings. But like you said… put down the donut, and walk away lol
Does anyone know if occasionally ( like maybe 3 times a year) taking antacid to decrease hunger pains is a problem? I usually have to take it after not fasting for a while...
It is interesting how food culture have gotten this pattern of eating right, well before the science elucidated the mechanisms. For example, the French, who are known for being slim despite their traditional cuisine being rich in fats and carbs, are very particular about meal timing, Until fairly recently, it was considered uncouth to graze and snack between your meals in France. Japan is another part of the world were they have very strict unwritten rules around diet, and the concept of avoiding getting fool is a part of the way they are instructed to eat.
في الاسلام المفروض اننا لا نأكل حتي نجوع و لو اكلنا لا نصل للشبع و سنة عن رسولنا الحبيب صيام يومين بالاسبوع و ٣ ايام كل شهر .... اللي كل الدكاتره دلوقت بتوصفه للحياه بصحه
I always used this logic when fasting. I got bashed on the internet saying I have a eating disorder for thinking this way. I laughed it off because I know these are weak minded people that can not stick to fasting.
how does the “eat to 80% full” square with “fast for long times” in the context of meeting your calorie needs? if i’m eating a day’s food in 8 hours i’m going to get pretty full.
I'm almost 24 hours into a 40 hour fast and I'm hungry. Watching videos like this help me make it through the long ones.
Keep going am planning my 36 this Sunday night!!!

IF is not the same as calorie restriction, so the old and new 'stop eating' is not the same.

Thomas Could You please make a video about the importance of eating up to 80% and Stopping, and how long it would take for me to get used to it- Please - !! . I struggle with Stopping - … Thank you so much!
Hey Thomas, maybe you want to have an interview with Nassim Taleb, he has been talking aboult the Cochrane study that said that saturated fats cause CVEs. Also maybe address The Liver King story. The truth is important and your involvement to find it might help for real
I get hypoglycemia when I'm hungry and my anxiety is high. I need to know when my gherilin is high and when it drops.
***** 5 star video. 100% truth and value. Ghrelin tells you that what you're doing is working. High Levels means fat loss.
Very fascinating...so glad there's more to Ghrelin besides hunger :D
I needed to hear this! The dumb mindset of popping a snack every time I feel hungry has dominated me lately! Now I am back on track! Thanks.
For some reason, I've always been more anxious during a fast. Once I break a fast, I tend to relax, and my shoulders are visibly looser.
Did you have uneven food supplies as a child?
@@aliciabell6688 No, I was well-fed growing up.
@@NowyChris were there habitual negative conversations about achievement?
@@aliciabell6688 where tf are you going with this 😂
@@aliciabell6688 No
So right ☝️☝️🤝Can’t wait first of January- for my 14 days of fasting 🎉
I appreciate all your videos.
Great info. However how do I control my desire to over eat whilst I’m so hungry?
Thank you. Just had a couple of days dip in motivation. This info makes it easier too do the right thing when the times get challening.
yo straight up, if the mind pump guys had u on the show, I think that'll be one badass episode. the content u both put out makes the most sense together. 👌🏾 💯
thanks,this was an old device from weight loss forums back in the 00s
I ended fraction fasting today 10 hours.. and I've done this a few times before and wondered if there were any benefits thanks for making the video always happens at the right time for me.
Everything you said is absolutely accurate! People just don’t want to do it.
I only get hungry when I'm bored. But I have so much to do all the time, so unfortunately I don't get hungry very often 🤷♂
The "fractal eating" just gave me an idea - what if you made eating truly random. Like, roll a dice. And use that as reward for some good habit. The dopamine reinforcement would be insane lol (yeah probably not the best of ideas but it does sound weirdly fun.)
I eat twice a day. Keep it in an 8 hour window. Works for me, though I haven't nailed down a good diet yet.
The comments section back when led me to Berg and some of his stuff combined here got me around 80 pounds down. Took time and work but I'm there. Just gotta work harder to actually get a physique closer to what I want.😅
Wish the best to good people working toward healthier lives.👍🙏
Your info has been super helpful for me! I’ve been following it 6 years and it keeps me most healthy of my life and maintaining it. I can’t thank you enough and I so wish I had this info when I was a teenager! Thank you so F-ing much!!
Word!! I haven't watched all your videos but to me this is the one that resonates most to me!! I've always felt this way when I was a bit hungry at night I would wake up and sure enough I've lost weight!! I just didn't fully get the link or atleast know hoe to explain this to myself..
When I go to bed mildly hungry, maybe a few bites of beef for din din, I feel better in the mornings.
Sounds great but I work shift work . My biggest and last meal is 6.30pm and I fast til 11am .
Have a merry Christmas everyone!!!
I am looking forward to listening later today.
40 yrs ago I learned the Japanese have an eating rule that tells them to push away when they were at 80%. When I was a kid my grandparents used to tell me to leave the table a little hungry. They also had a saying: "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper". If you look at the keto diet, it's the same diet doctors prescribed for type 1 diabetics to control their blood sugar literally over 100 years ago.
I was just sitting here thinking that I’m hungry I usually quit eating between 5 and 6 pm. It’s 9:15 pm and I will be going to bed soon. I don’t always feel hungry in the evening, but now that I know this, I will be less tempted to eat!
My blood pressure normally runs about 140/100. When I'm fasting, it can drop as low as 110/75. Now I know at least part of it. I had assumed it was all some hydration effect.
I feel that having food in my stomach impedes my desire to do physical and partially mental activities. I prefer to go 20 hours per day with no food, and then have a 2 Hours for eating. Just prior to eating, I take a mega dose of psyllium and oat fiber. I've lost 70 lb. because of switching to a low carbohydrate diet, although still taking the mega dose of fiber which does provide some carbohydrates.
Thank you Thomas
Can't wait to try these new strategies!!
Thank you !
Very useful video, I learnt always my last meal to be light
Incredible video brother!! Thanks for the info
I eat once a day on OMAD but dont really get hungry
Anytime I eat something unhealthy I drink 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with water through a straw. Thanks for that and the fasting tips
And what's the point of this?
@@hereweare9011 Google it
I love this information.
On recovery days when I plan to have two meals instead of one, I have one teaspoon of Manuka honey & one tablespoon of Allulose in my coffee with my breakfast. My stomach will start growling around noon until I eat something for supper.
Great video. Thanks Thomas.
Thanks!
So please tell me when do you eat your carbs during the your day??
My dinner is lighter sometimes. But Thomas I do save my carbs for my dinner . Like for burgers or something else.
You did not over complicate things at all... very understandable
That transition to the sponsor was smooth as butter!
I feel great when I haven't ate before doing any exercise or mental task.
That is wrong grammar ," when I haven't ate" correct grammar is: when I haven't eaten.
Makes sense. Every time I eat late at night I don’t sleep well
Makes sense. Funny because I worked out the other day without eating before which I usually do and somehow felt stronger than when I have a meal in.
I'm watching this on my lunch break a little bit hungry. I was just thinking some food would be nice and this video pops up. Trying to lose 40lbs from a previous regain. Total loss was 100lbs.
Good info, much appreciated!
I mean it makes sense if your full after that your brain tells your body to work hard to digest and while your body’s doing that it’s hard to do straight into work so I’ll be hard to focus and you might even stress more
Fasting increase Ghrelin , so i think Will Boost Growth Hormone similar to Ghrelin mimetics and GHS
Excellent advice and video! thank you 😊
How are you sleeping with midly hungry ? honest question !
When I tried to sleep midly hungry I always woke up at night !
Look at videos talking about controlling high cortisol. Dr Berg for example.
@@SpamMouse Hmmm I will !
Thank you so much
damn i was planning to do 2h of intense gym workout (circuit training) but had so little energy, I only did 1,5h. I was so tired that i was yawning. Maybe that is because before going to the gym, I ate a bunch of carbs?
This happens to me. I had these feelings 20 years ago when playing college ball but it wasn't the 'norm'.
Usually when I feel hunger, it’s in my throat and causes me enormous pain. And then when I eat its painful to swallow. I don’t feel hunger the way others do. I don’t feel hungry when I fast if I sleep in late. I normally eat when I get a craving, rather than when I’m in the painful midst of hunger.
I always eat 3 times a day, I always feel very full after each meal and a bit hungry in the hour or two before the next. I tried to eat an extra meal before doing sport but it didn't work. I'm Italian and food makes me happy, I'm 36 and my weight is perfect.
i'm doing OMAD and i feel absolutely no hunger. Literally nothing. Even that one meal i'm trying to keep it at appr 600 kcal and high protein low carb such as grilled chicken breasts with rice (half portion) and vegetables.
Love these types of videos and hacks awesome
Thanks for great info Thomas. In earlier vids, you recommended blocking/reducing sugar absorption or reducing blood sugar spikes by combining either Temeric/curcumin and or Cinnamon when eating some carby foods. U didnt give doses. What dose do you recommend for either/both? Thanks-
A teaspoon a day of any and all of them is all you need and is recommended whether you eat clean OR dirty. Add it to your black coffee or green tea… daily
That won't really help with eating carbs or reducing fat gain, you might as well not eat so many carbs, or eat them slower so that insulin is already circulating.
I personally changed my belief to believing that insulin is good thing. Large insulin spikes from 1, large meal a day is much healthier than 6 small meals a day. Insulin spikes can be a good thing when we're talking a clean diet low in fructose(insulin spikes can come from large amounts of protein for example).
@@hempwick8203 Exactly. Those items help regulate blood sugars. Only Apple Cider Vinegar is shown to literally reduce blood sugars by as much as 20-50% depending on the type of carb consumed. Dr Berg did a video on ACV. I recommend cinnamon and such JUST for stabilization, especially for diabetics with wonky readings. But like you said… put down the donut, and walk away lol
@@DansVlog Berg is no longer practicing, he makes millions selling supplements and playing a doc in you tube.
@@nancy9478 and Thomas doesn’t with his daily infomercials?! Lol
Does anyone know if occasionally ( like maybe 3 times a year) taking antacid to decrease hunger pains is a problem? I usually have to take it after not fasting for a while...
It is interesting how food culture have gotten this pattern of eating right, well before the science elucidated the mechanisms. For example, the French, who are known for being slim despite their traditional cuisine being rich in fats and carbs, are very particular about meal timing, Until fairly recently, it was considered uncouth to graze and snack between your meals in France. Japan is another part of the world were they have very strict unwritten rules around diet, and the concept of avoiding getting fool is a part of the way they are instructed to eat.
في الاسلام المفروض اننا لا نأكل حتي نجوع و لو اكلنا لا نصل للشبع و سنة عن رسولنا الحبيب صيام يومين بالاسبوع و ٣ ايام كل شهر .... اللي كل الدكاتره دلوقت بتوصفه للحياه بصحه
I do a 20 hr fast everyday. While no eating .just drinking water and coffee. I do lift weights while fasting
I always used this logic when fasting. I got bashed on the internet saying I have a eating disorder for thinking this way. I laughed it off because I know these are weak minded people that can not stick to fasting.
I got bmi below 18 so dare not do 48 hours fast.
how does the “eat to 80% full” square with “fast for long times” in the context of meeting your calorie needs? if i’m eating a day’s food in 8 hours i’m going to get pretty full.
