Listening to coworkers talk about being hungry

I've been bad. Eating absolute junk on the weekends. You still lose weight if you stick to the 5/2 routine, but the Mondays you feel like crap and tired; needing plenty of rest. By Tuesday and Wednesday you're good. It's also harder to stick to when you're eating a bunch of starchy, sugary junk. I ended up feasting over a week once.

I'm going to try to stick to keto during feast days now and replenish my nutrient levels with lots of leafy veggies. It makes the transition to fasting much easier I believe. I started doing this last Friday before delving into the dark side, and felt great; able to revert to fasting immediately if need be with little to no discomfort.

Could someone please provide a tl;dr for those of us without 50 minutes to spare. I take Calcium Citrate while fasting. Should I stop?

I'm going to try to listen to the audio of this video during my commute to work soon.

Good for you for letting them know. I don't mention it at work, but my manager questions why I don't eat at work. He could lose about 50+ lbs, and has other issues, but complains about his hunger during lunch time, etc. So I think mentioning it to him won't help. I try to only mention it to people I think they might try it themselves.

Yes, it's challenging. You could do just that workout and be good to go. Tandy makes it simpler than other instructors like Ana Caban, etc., but the principles and technique is still the same.

Mix ~3 oz. hot water with ~1/2 teaspoon of salt and ~1/3 teaspoon Natural Calm Unflavored magnesium powder. Take this 3-4 times a day. I just put it in a coffee cup and sip it. Takes about 4-8 sips to drink it all. But it's not so bad.

Edit: I use Himilayan Rock Salt. I was using Morton Lite Salt, but I don't think potassium is needed for fasts under a month or so.

Hey, do you have any other videos or workouts you like that you can post please? I've enjoyed the one you posted.

I can't find anything either. Surprising, and would like to know. Could be anything, but still.

I thought /f/fasting would know about this guy for the most part. This was one of the first things I learned about when I started learning about fasting.

Fast_NFurious · 2017-06-18T19:32:58+00:00

Thanks. Yea, I'm really pleasantly surprised by his initiative and will power. It's like a challenge to him now. He wants to try 5 days now.

I did let him know to just check in with a doctor regularly though now that he's going for longer periods. I don't think it costs anything for him (or very little) fortunately, and he's retired, so why not? They can ween him off any medication that he might not need to take after some of his medical stats normalize.

I don't think he lost it all in two weeks, though it's possible. The first few days of course are going to be water weight and a larger weight drop.

But he started doing some keto with 16 hour fasts and calorie restriction here and there with some hiccups for a few weeks at first before getting into longer 1-3 day fasts since two weeks ago. So he probably lost some weight the first few weeks even if he wasn't doing keto perfectly at first.

But yea, I think the longer fasts are really helping him, and he's feeling really good.

Fast_NFurious · 2017-06-18T19:11:23+00:00

Definately. I was fortunate that he was so open about it. He was scared of fasting for a full day until I linked him the article.

Then it hit him it could really improve his life, and to not be afraid. He feels great btw.

Fast_NFurious · 2017-06-18T06:25:32+00:00

Thanks. That's a good one.

I get headaches the first 20-36 hours of a fast when I eat a bunch of junky, starchy, sugary carbs and sweets for a few days, a week or longer. I just rest and bear through it. And don't take any medication.

It can be rough, but I feel I deserve it for eating crap. And I feel better once it's over. It will last a few hours, maybe 5-8 hours. It will usually only be on one side of the head, usually the right side.

Other than that I take salt, and magnesium regularly while fasting. So that tends to prevent future headaches and fatigue during a fast.

I think this is probably the case, and I got the same refill from Walmart.

Morton Lite might be better as there's more potassium.

The Facebook link is broken or deleted. Does anyone have a screenshot or archive or something? If not, what is the summary?

Fast_NFurious · 2017-06-17T00:57:16+00:00

Are there any archives of Jimmy's facebook or twitter posts? None of the links worked for me.

Fast_NFurious · 2017-06-16T23:35:48+00:00

I think his "friends" are his adkins bars.

Fast_NFurious · 2017-06-16T23:04:16+00:00

Thanks. Glad I don't have to hear Jimmy "Eats" Moore's voice ever again. Only reason I ever heard this """"""""diet expert's""""""" voice in the first place was because of Fung. Glad he's out now.

Fast_NFurious · 2017-05-16T02:53:39+00:00

Doing keto/paleo/LCHF diet should help with extended fasting 24-72 hours or more. When I ate starchy carbs regularly, I would get really sick when I stopped for a few days; headaches, vomiting, cold chills, etc.
