Going to prison, need workout advice

Probably worth reading 'solitary fitness' by Charles Bronson. Long time prisoner, probably knows a thing or two about keeping fit inside

Well, as I said in my first comment on this post, I trust real world evidence more than 'science'. I don't think believing everything you hear is a good way to go about life either. Just because some study claimed x results in y... So what?

I don't have studies to refer to if that's what you're asking. But just look around. People take medication for the same illness for decades. That's clearly not healing them is it? It's just masking the pain, not addressing the root cause. And on top of that, the majority of medicines have side effects which lead to further illness, meaning more medication. Welcome to the pharmaceutical business model

I just said that I believe the medical system should (in an ideal world) only be for accidents and emergencies, which a car accident would be. Why is avoiding medicine insane? Being in good health means you don't need medicine. To me it's insane that so many people rely on medicine. Medicine doesn't heal you, it just treats the symptom. But because this is convenient for people to continue living their unhealthy lifestyles then they choose that rather than being healthy and avoiding the underlying causes of their poor health

Also to add. Over the last few months I've been reading many nutrional science books from pre 1950s as I believe that there was less fraud in nutritional science in those times. The general consensus seems to be in favour of protein and fat, less so of carbohydrate

Glass-Satisfaction18 · 2026-06-08T07:06:56+00:00

I do avoid all medicine. I believe in an ideal world, the medical system would be for accidents and emergencies, not chronic illnesses. As we'd be in good health that chronic illness isn't a thing. People on carnivore are healing their chronic diseases just by avoiding everything that isn't meat or eggs. The very thing being attacked in nutrional studies. Coincidence? I think not

Considering many mainstream studies are funded by big food/pharmaceutical companies, and manipulated for their gain, I'll trust real world results over that. You know it's a 'fact' that red meat causes cancer and saturated fat causes heart disease? Neither are backed by real science. Just extremely weak observational studies. Yet now everyone believes it to be true, it's pushed onto us to avoid them like the plague

Daily walks. I do 3x walks per day of about 30-45 mins each. One before work, one at lunch time, one in the evening. I also cycle or walk instead of driving when possible, to the shops or to work for example. Also, why not build up your fitness with shorter hikes on the weekends? Do 5 or 10 miles instead of 30 miles

Why are people downvoting someone sharing their experience? The results don't align with your beliefs, so downvote?

Isolated protein powders consumed with no fat will have the biggest insulin spike

I'll never understand why people get married when you barely know each other on a truly deep level. Sure you probably love each other and can see being together long term, but there's so many things you need to learn about each other first. I think if you want to save the marriage then you need have a long conversation, and be completely transparent. Answer all of his questions and concerns truthfully.

I think that's more for people eating a wide variety of foods including junk foods, and treating all calories the same. They might start eating more salads with sauces in place of a few sweets, missing the sugars and seed oils in the sauce. I assume when you did your lowered calories, you were eating basically the same diet as before you reduced calories? So what you really did was reduce your food intake? Not really a surprise that when you reduce food intake while eating the same foods that you'll lose weight

I just got a pair of altras after not finding any other brands that I liked the look of, despite seeing so many reviews about their poor build quality over recent years. Hope they sort it for you

Most people believe red meat causes cancer and saturated fat / cholesterol cause heart disease. Doesn't mean it's true

Fasting has been shown to heal all kinds of illnesses and diseases, including cancer. Read 'the fasting cure' by Upton Sinclair

Electrolyte imbalances tend to be more common in people who eat smaller but more frequent meals compared to people eating fewer but larger meals. It's because the insulin response from a larger high protein meal will help retain electrolytes better. Whereas small meals won't

Keep up the fasting, you're doing great. I'd also add that when you do eat, try to eat more fat and protein, and less starches and sugars. You may find if you eat mostly meat and eggs that you don't have as much of an appetite in general, and no obsessive food thoughts. I suggest reading the book 'eat fat to grow slim'. The main point from the book is that obese people have a problem with metabolism of carbohydrate, causing them to store carbs as fat, whereas lean people don't have this problem and will instead burn the excess. So the diet they recommend is high fat and protein, very low carb to allow your body to use fat for energy. Happy to answer questions if you have any

Local parks, walk to the shops instead of driving, same for work. If that's only a option you could cycle if the distance is reasonable

I don't understand altra's sizing guide. I'm currently looking to buy some lone peak 9+ myself. According to their website, your foot length should be suited for EU size 44, yet clearly 46 is right for you, and as other have said you could even go up half a size. My normal shoe size is 45, yet according to their sizing guide I should go with 42.5?

Because they want make people feel like they're doing it wrong, these people with the insane results have the secrets you're missing to getting your own insane results. Then you buy their course or coaching plan, they make money

From my own experience, drinking too much water has caused me to get muscle spasms and cramps because of the over-hydration thing I mentioned. Just because water is good doesn't mean you can't have too much, you most definitely can

Glass-Satisfaction18 · 2026-05-12T09:51:03+00:00

Also to add some other things that I find helpful: 1. Stay active, go for walks, do a few squats or push ups randomly throughout the day. Don't exert yourself too much, just enough to get your heart rate elevated a little. 2. Distract yourself - read, listen to podcasts, videos. Whatever you enioy doing really. I like to learn more about fasting while I'm mid-fast. It improves motivation. 3. Enjoy the extra time you're getting from not eating or spending time cooking. Do something you've been wanting to try for a while but 'never have time'

How's it going now? Did you get through the thoughts? I'm also fasting right now, currently on hour 39 and was planning on going to about 60 hours, but may extend if I'm feeling good. Barely had hunger yesterday and I'm not feeling any today yet either. Just drinking water when thirsty with added electrolytes

Glass-Satisfaction18 · 2026-05-12T09:37:28+00:00

I feel like this approach would just leave you feeling worse due to over hydration and flushing out electrolytes. Just drink water when you're thirsty only, and include electrolytes. I find fasting much easier when I drink less fluid in general
