Lets talk fasting

This study demonstrated a high prevalence of prostate cancer that increased progressively with advancing age and was similar at all ages in African American compared with Caucasian men (around 10%, 30%, 40%, 45%, 70% and 80% in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th decades, respectively).

There's a study from the 50's by some dude named Franks, small sample but basically if you live to 100, you've likely got prostate cancer. The point is it's there but doesn't kill us.

 

Acidic environment doesn't create cancer, cancer creates an acidic environment.
I think the confusion, or rather the correlation comes from the fact that if you eliminate glucose from your diet, you're left with a low-ish protein, plant based diet, which happens to be an alkaline diet.

 

Haven't had anything to eat yet this year. (...just wanted to say that)

That puts me at 41 hours. Feeling a little shaky & thinking a lot about food. Plus I'm supposed to work out in about 3 hours - not sure if I'm gonna make 48 hrs.

 

Diet before the fast? Are you getting enough water and electrolytes?

 

Just the “holiday diet” which means anything and everything : )

Plenty of water/coffee/tea. I also donated plasma today which maybe wasn’t the best idea.

Drinking a Naked green machine smoothie now.

 

The reviews

 

Anyone who’s looking for motivation not to eat, watch this show on TLC called “Dr Pimple Popper”. Your appetite will be GONE.

 

Decided to give intermittent another go, quick question - does it really matter how you ‘break’ your fast each day? In particular, I’ve heard to avoid fats.

 

I just get whatever makes my mouth water when I think of it. It can be anything...junk food, fruit, home cooking, whatever. My normal MO is to eat freeze pops for a day. For some reason those things are good after a fast.

 

I ain’t trying to eat Doritis Locos and Mountain Dew and then go train, Metalnoggin

 

I fixed it lol.

 

Not really....

 

You're one of a kind. I'm trying to wrap my head around the insulin response to fasting for two days, and consuming a few hundred grams of sugar immediately after...

 

I freak the fuck out. Not kidding ya. They're like crack. Or meth. The comedown is brutal. I just have something thick the next day to kill the jitters. Thick meaning like a couple of biscuits or some shit.

 

Why not just smoke some crack to keep the fast going?

 

Things are goddamned refreshing though...

 

Ok.

 

Damn straight.

 

Meth lasts longer and is cheaper. More efficient than crack. Plus, crack is not as vogue as meth, crack is so 90s.
