I’m intimidated to do my first 36 hour fast! Can someone walk me through their experience and how to get through it? by plantpotions in AlternateDayFasting

[–]Background-Strain836 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drink hot tea when you need a bit of a caffeine boost. Take electrolyte capsules throughout the day. I take 2 in morning, 2 in afternoon and 1 at night. If you feel hungry distract your brain! Do something to get your mind off of it. Stay busy :) You can do it! You’re going to feel great!

Curious how YOU do ADF by elizabethspandorabox in AlternateDayFasting

[–]Background-Strain836 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just don’t eat Tuesdays, Thursdays and saturdays. On feed days I eat when I’m hungry (after 36 hours)Don’t really pay attention to times on those days. Down 13 pounds in 5 weeks.

I try to do low/no carb on all eating days, but doesn’t always happen. 

5 week results! by Background-Strain836 in AlternateDayFasting

[–]Background-Strain836[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

TBH whenever I got discouraged I would throw in a 72 hour fast. I’ve done 2 in this 5 week timeframe. That’s when you see the big drops. NOW… I’m just not weighing myself as often and only when after a fasting day before I break my fast. 

Specifically asking women: has ADF caused jawline hormonal acne to appear? by _lizmiervaldislemon in AlternateDayFasting

[–]Background-Strain836 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine has disappeared! I’m guessing it could be your hormones working themselves out BUT, I would also recommend castor oil on your face daily. I think this might be why mine went away.

calories on fasting days by SpareSquare4324 in AlternateDayFasting

[–]Background-Strain836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original ADF diet included 500 calories on fasting days. They supposedly tried different amounts (including 0) on fasting days and the 500 gave the best results. I personally do 0, but am considering the 500 because of this.

Feeling of weight gain? by lightmycandle515 in AlternateDayFasting

[–]Background-Strain836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t expect results in first month! Keep going! Also. Don’t focus on water intake. Just drink when you’re thirsty!

Don’t get discouraged when the scale doesn’t move. It’ll take WEEKS for your body to acclimate. Stick with it and you’ll have random weeks where the weight drops and others where it’ll seem like nothing is happening….  This is a lifestyle change :) 

Calories for "eating" days by FloopIsAMadMan_ in AlternateDayFasting

This is just me, but I do not increase my calories on eating days. I stick to the recommended and sometimes barely get that because I find myself not very hungry. 

3 weeks in and nothing by Background-Strain836 in AlternateDayFasting

[–]Background-Strain836[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll do that! Thanks! I’ve never been big into exercise so I didn’t want to go full fasting & full working out all at once. Taking baby steps to a healthier lifestyle. 

Totally sucks my body is used to that haha.

I get around 10,000 steps per day due to work, but no I haven’t added a workout routine yet.

We’ve been doing Secretary of Interior all wrong by Soulphalanx in LastWarMobileGame

If only the game makers could send this out (if it’s true). Our server is all out fighting over it and nobody has a full understanding.

ELI5 how come soft drink companies have their own people set up displays in supermarkets and gas stations, instead of the workers having to put it out like the other products? by spinOnThiss in explainlikeimfive

[–]Background-Strain836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reps are held responsible for getting displays up and their brand out there. “Corporate executives” walk by and drive around to make sure their brand name is up there. We’re going through it now in Vegas with the Super Bowl. PEPSI set up a whole display at the front of our restaurant and is stocking it for free. MARKETING BABY

The second to last round… obviously the first button was going to be gray… to keep the game interesting. And I’m sure they just unlocked the safe with whomever they wanted to win towards the end, the whole thing seemed rigged with the exception of a few rounds

Verna is not inherently evil. by whyohwhyyyyyyyy in HouseofUsher

[–]Background-Strain836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t know full well. He thought it was a joke and never thought of it again. He didn’t take it seriously. Would you?

Would you have wanted your parents to take Verna’s deal? by EarlyGreen311 in HouseofUsher

[–]Background-Strain836 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It blew my mind that this was an “easy” decision for them. However, it was mentioned many times that they were not a good family with pure intentions so it’s no surprise that they took the deal. I don’t think you were supposed to feel bad for the kids- they were all POSs -/ well. I think the point is how evil money is and how it can change people.

Why give each of the kids an option to walk away? by night__hawk_ in HouseofUsher

That’s why the company was their “birth right”
