I wouldn’t recommend 72 hours right off the bat. I’ve done 36. That was enough. It’s better to break a fast with local seasonal fruit if you have it. Concord grape juice as well for liquids in between.

Si, cuesta, no he podido pasar las 48hs yo

Your body isn’t “overworked” and in need of some “maintenance and cleanup” time. Everything is happening at the local cell level everywhere all the time. Homeostasis is a dynamic constancy, not some process your little ape brain needs to schedule for it. Every other species is just fine without this silliness, you will be too.

Verified. I do 5days water fast a year and the benefits are extraordinary. A key thing is to know on how to break your fast. Otherwise you don’t reap all the benefits.

What kind of physical activity would you recommend from experience? Gym/Sports possible?

Fasting for 72 hours is the best medicine in the world.

It stimulates your body to "eat" tumors, inflammation, and toxins.

It's literally an inner doctor.

This is how to fast properly (according to science): 🧵

Many people think fasting is only for weight loss or to give the digestive system a break.

But the "magic" happens at the cellular level through autophagy.

This is where the body literally begins to devour itself.

Autophagy = cellular cleanup.

During prolonged fasting, cells begin recycling damaged proteins, dysfunctional mitochondria, and even early-stage cancer cells.

The body finally has a chance to eliminate the accumulated waste that has been causing inflammation and disease.

What does science say about fasting?

A 2014 USC study showed that 72-hour fasts triggered the regeneration of white blood cells from stem cells, essentially reactivating the immune system.

It's well known that fasting works for many conditions.

But why? Because...

It addresses a root cause that modern medicine often overlooks:

The accumulation of cellular debris, damaged proteins, and weakened mitochondria causes chronic inflammation.

Removing these allows for natural healing.

Now that you understand the science, here's how to perform a 72-hour fast:

Before you start: Prepare your body (2-3 days before) Start intermittent fasting (16:8 method) at least 3 days before your extended fast. Eat during an 8-hour window and fast for 16 hours. This gradually activates your metabolism to burn fat.

At the same time, reduce carbohydrates and increase healthy fats in the days leading up to the fast.

This begins your body's transition into ketosis even before you begin the full fast.

Good fats to focus on include avocado, olive oil, grass-fed butter, and MCT oil.

Hours 0-24: The Challenge Phase

The first 24 hours are challenging, but manageable.

Your body is shifting to burning fat, which causes hunger, irritability, and energy swings. This is normal and temporary.

Your hunger hormone, ghrelin, begins to stabilize after the first day.

Hours 24-48: The Transition Phase

Around 36 hours, many people report an increase in mental clarity and energy as ketones fuel the brain.

Growth hormone increases by 300%, preserving muscle mass and boosting fat burning.

Fat loss accelerates dramatically.

Hours 48-72: The Healing Phase

The last 24 hours are where the deepest healing occurs.

Chronic joint pain may disappear, along with other positive changes, during this phase.

Mental fogginess dissipates as inflammation subsides.

How to overcome it without suffering?

Drink 2 to 3 liters of pure water a day.

And supplement with electrolytes.

This reduces discomfort.

What can you consume during this 72-hour fast?

• Pure water (still or sparkling)

• Black coffee (no cream or sugar)

• Black tea (herbal or regular)

• Electrolytes (as listed above)

That's it. Purists only drink water.

The most important thing: How to break a fast?

• Start with bone broth.

• Wait an hour and then eat one or two scrambled eggs or avocado.

• Wait another hour before eating a light meal with protein and healthy fats.

• Avoid carbohydrates, sugar, and processed foods for at least 24 hours afterward.

Not eating for 72 hours isn't easy.

The first time is the hardest. The second is challenging, but manageable. By the third, you'll be surprised at how easy it becomes.

Your body learns and adapts, making each subsequent fast more comfortable.

The benefits accumulate.

What did you do this weekend that you dont normally do for your living?

I planted some trees.

Lets see what you're up to that you dont do day to day - what you love to do when you're free.

Hypothetical #asknostr

Its 2030 and 1 bitcoin is enough to pay off your mortgage. You own at least 2, but less than 5. Do you sell 1 and pay off your mortgage?

Feel free to ask qualifiers if it's more complex than how I presented.

Some people in carnivore/keto/food forums ask if eating grocery store rotisserie chicken is OK.

Sure, it's OK if you like eating hot plastic. And if you enjoy a hormone-injected bird loaded up with gross ingredients (usually hidden under the "natural flavorings" or "spices" umbrella)

(continue reading below image)

A couple of things I have noticed hiding in these chickens:

Starches (potato dextrin, corn starch, etc.)

Seed oils (sunflower/soy lecithin, canola oil, "vegetable" oil, soybean oil). Chicken has enough natural fat to cook plenty well on a spit!

Modified corn starch (aka Maltodextrin)

This is a hidden sugar that's many times worse than actual sugar. Companies can get away with using the label "sugar free" on packaging for their food-like substances by using Maltodextrin because it doesn't go by the name, "sugar"

Dextrose

Another ingredient companies use to claim something to be sugar free or "uncured." Dextrose is basically something only people who are suffering from diabetic "lows" should use, and under a doctor's supervision, to raise their blood glucose when it's dangerously low (aka diabetic hypoglycemia), although fruit juice would do the same thing, and just as rapidly.

Athletes wanting to GAIN weight will often use dextrose that's contained in many bodybuilding products

Why on earth dextrose and Maltodextrin are in so many mainstream and even diet products is beyond me. Neither of them offers any benefit whatsoever, other than to the manufacturer's bottom line, since real cane sugar or beet sugar are much more expensive to produce than to simply extract the liquid from fresh corn and hydrolyze it mechanically (spun rapidly in a centrifuge to draw out the sugar and then it is spray dried or freeze dried).

Anyone who's diabetic is better off having a couple grams of real sugar than eat anything containing either of the above two fake sugars. They can shoot one's blood glucose through the roof (figuratively speaking).

Why is bitcoin failing to provide financial freedom ?

A serious question bitcoiners should start asking themselves

I swear today is a day for realizing just how stupid humanity has become...

I am unsure if I am a part of the same species anymore...

Starting to feel more like a human compared to a retarded chicken in terms of intelligence with the general population...
