Listening to a podcast today reminded me of a good resource for women interested in health benefits of fasting. Her interpretation of scientific evidence for benefits of fasting is stretched a bit in my opinion but still a good resource. “Fasting Like a Girl” by Mindy Pelz.

you were lost already.

11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

you know you dont have any friends

I switch between the 2, sparkling mineral when I’m feeling like I need something more substantial? 😂😂. And then still for the rest. I usually don’t even go to sparkling mineral until mid day 2, but sounds like you have enough knowledge under your belt!!! Good luck!

see the difference here is that you are the one clinging to self, hence all your sugar coated pseudospiritual bullshit...

i on the other had have decided that there IS NO SELF , thus I say what I think without fear of judgement and inly in service to the person or question at hand...

in this case, a girl asked a question about fasting and all the cucks began clucking about nonsense... so i threw a grenade in...

funny thing is is she followed and liked so I am not sure why you are troubled ?

oh wait ... its because your interest wasnt in her but in hearing yourself wax about your phony fucking expertise...

fasting is about SHUTTING OFF THE FUCKING WORLD and going within, usually in an effort to get closer to god...

what the fuck is all this pansy prep capitalized garbage ?

if you wanna fast grab some water, have a toilet, go into a room and sit down and shut the fuck up...

never heard so much fucking feminized nonsense ...

Your mind is in the right place. Your goal will be achieved on the other side of hunger, without a doubt.

Keep us posted on your journey please, 🙏

My first question would be what type of fasting have you done leading up to this? (And also, I always salt and squeeze some lemon in my mineral water on a fast)

I seem to struggle at about the 5th day. It's when my mind becomes a real bastard & my will seems to weaken.

The first 3-4 days are pretty cruisy for me. We're all different though. I know a couple of plebs that really struggle with the first 48 to 72 hours but once they pass that they feel that they can go on forever.

The process of fasting trains your will to become stronger. This is one of the lesser talked about benefits.

My biggest tip would be to plan the timing of your fast away from any important commitments. Stress & social commitments are a great excuse to break your fast.

Be prepared for the mind games & mental bargaining that will occur. Your ego is tied to your meat sack & it will become convinced it's dying at times. It's an opportunity to become very aware of the games that it plays & how much influence it has over your thinking. Don't fight it, observe it, show it compassion & let those fear based thoughts flow through you.

Meditation & sauna are amazing on a long fast. You'll mobilize fat stores that haven't moved in decades. These stores likely contain toxic crap that you've been exposed to. Getting that toxic crap out feels great & sweating it out is a great way. Niacin can help to mobilise fat, increase blood flow to your skin & increase the intensity of a sauna session (it's really intense).

Be kind to yourself. There will be many printouts to fast in the future. 🧡

5 days is longest I’ve done. Day 2 and 3 are hardest. Day 4 and 5 are much easier. Eating ketogenic in the several days to weeks leading up to it makes the fast much easier. When doing it in the summer and sweating a lot from work outside I had to add salt to avoid passing out. So now routinely will eat/drink more salt if fasting. Some vitamins inhibit autophagy so I stop vitamin supplements with fasting. Jason Fung is the person I think has most helpful info on the topic. Depending what meds people are on they may need to decrease/stop them in order to make fasting safe.

I hate the word deserve.

We can only possession completely what we release almost completely.
