You dont eat

 

[Deleted member 15752]

You dont eat for a period of hours while you drink water etc.

You just dont eat but you can drink 0 calorie drinks for a few hours.

 

[narcissist]

You don't eat.

Fasting is common as fuck, look up water fasting maybe.
Fasting has been a thing for thousands of years

 

[Ticcel]

What type of fasting? Intermittent fasting? 16/8, 5:2 etc.

 

[mylifeistrash]

you don't eat, empty stomach, burning more fat

eat a high protein small meal once a day to lose bodyfat

basically the opposite of what women do

Wouldnt your body start eating away at your muscles first?

If you have enough fat stored not necessarily, you still eat but not for a extended period of time.

that almost never happens unless you're like 8% bodyfat

what happens is fat guys lose water + gylcogen and think they're losing muscle

its not muscle, you just appear flatter because of the loss of glycogen

i just said that, brah

 

[Deleted member 15752]

i just said that, brah

and i explained why it may seem like you lose muscle but its acutally a illusion.

 

[MarriedAndLookin4Fun]

Just starve yourself for a period of time bro

unless you stop lifting and actually dont eat for days on end(lethargic, headaches etc etc)

yup pretty much

and even then, you can regain lost strength / muscle fairly easily

yep, especially if you are a beginner

 

[mylifeistrash]

while all of this is possible for men, i just want to add i've never seen a woman in my god damn life ever go more than 12 hours without eating

i'm sure some elite fitness models do it all the time, but for a regular woman, they act like they're going to fucking die if they don't snack every hour

Wilfully starving yourself

 

[Deleted member 15752]

Wilfully starving yourself

Not starving, just not eating.

People that fast dont starve they just feel hungry.

 

[Michael15651]

Voluntarily starving yourself of food.
