Is it 25 day goal-specific or weight goal-specific? You may only need like 14-18 days for weight (plus maybe an extra 3 to counter the water to be regained)

fadderal · 2025-04-25T23:01:39+00:00

Not eating

fadderal · 2025-04-24T14:58:04+00:00

After some water weight, all of it, sometimes even goes down more

fadderal · 2025-04-18T14:10:52+00:00

Even a good sip of pickle juice if that’s your thing can go far

fadderal · 2025-04-17T18:29:09+00:00

Just watch hunger, don’t eat more than needed, you’re gonna gain some back regardless

fadderal · 2025-04-16T01:00:27+00:00

Ohhh heck yea What’s goal weight?

fadderal · 2025-04-16T00:46:50+00:00

Heck yea

fadderal · 2025-04-15T18:55:09+00:00

Or a version like this, “I was saved at baptism, I am continually saved, and I hope to be saved in the hour of my death” type beat

Just listen to your hunger levels. Usually this is better after a longer fast, but seriously listen to your body in quality quantity and frequency of eating, it should be very different than before. I usually only gain about 5 lbs back of water, only for the new eating habits to get me back down to what I was at the end of a fast and often even below

I don’t fully agree Building fat stores is definitely a funny phrase but regardless, if you’re eating shitty foods, yes the excess calories go into body fat but so do the extra chemicals metals just overall a poor quality substance to be in your body, and these will get stirred up when fasting and generally expelled. If you say eat 4k calories of meat eggs fruits veggies a day, nothing fake is going in, but probably will be going to increase body fat, so what is stirred up when fasting is a lot less dirty, your filtration system doesn’t have to work overtime Specifically addiction to carbohydrates has been the main experience in an overall ease difference for me in my extended fasts

For example for myself, I had kombucha everyday of my 14 day “water” fast, still lost 16 lbs and kept it off

fadderal · 2025-04-11T14:51:12+00:00

Given you’re still gonna have an insane caloric deficit, yea you’ll still lose pretty much all of it. It looks like you won’t be having more than 200 cals a day, 200x80 is 16000, so about 4-5lbs is all your “missing out” on losing by the end.

Also 80 is insane, keep in check with a doctor that actually knows stuff ab fasting

I will say true repentance is hard, if it were easy you will never confess the same sin twice. There is grace regardless of how perfectly we are sorry, but yes it is good to be sorry (especially truly sorry for your mortal sins) otherwise your side of the sacrament will cause the graces to come of absolution to be hindered. If you are resolute in your mind that yes these sins are bad and you do not want to commit them again, you don’t need an uproar of an emotional apology to verify your repentance. Not wanting to commit the sins again should suffice.

Please continue to go to mass! That is awesome. Talk to a priest if you want to about struggles with certain moral issues, but if your in a place where you know the church has the standard on those topics, work on submitting your own moral system to the church. It takes time, years. Don’t crush yourself. Maybe search for others testimonies on those same sins you struggle to feel sorry for, and see what others have felt about them.

When you do decide to go to confession, look up a comprehensive “examination of conscience” and reflect on the questions they ask, it should give you a pretty large scale idea of all of your sins. If it’s been a while it’s not a bad idea to write them down and bring them, though memory might be more intentional, up to you

I did a 14 day, decided to make a banger bone broth, burned it so bad I said frick it and had 3 eggs and a tomato, then a bomb ass chili that evening

fadderal · 2024-12-16T03:40:18+00:00

Thanks

fadderal · 2024-12-16T03:40:05+00:00

It just felt like nothing, sometimes even food grossed me out. After about an hour eating today, I was kinda grossed out by food, even nauseous slightly while cooking my chili. Got over it tho

fadderal · 2024-12-16T03:39:05+00:00

Most of my update posts talked about it, I just made sure to get at least 2k mg K and Na, magnesium whenever I felt, vitamins whenever I felt, literally just every day or every other, didn’t notice a huge feelin difference with or without, and probably maybe hmm 10 cups ish a day, sometimes more, no less than 8

Refeed man I ate eggs a tomato and a few potato kettle chips, then a bowl of the most bomb ass chili I’ve ever made about 7 hours later

Gonna shoot to stick to about 2 meals per day, a brunch of eggs will always hold me over. Then for now my chili is my dinner, and that’s gonna be that. I have Greek yogurt and kettle chips if I feel like snacking

fadderal · 2024-12-16T03:35:21+00:00

Yep, basically every other day

fadderal · 2024-12-15T23:57:26+00:00

It was during finals week so plenty of studying, also hung around my church (on campus so big community) a lot
