I'm probably not going to do full water fasting. I'll just do low calorie days where I just have a protein shake and a salad, maybe 1000 calories total. I could do that 5 days a week and that would put me at a 5000 calorie deficit each week, which in theory would yield 1-2lbs fat loss per week.
what I found is that caloric deficit wouldn't be as fast as fasting regardless of how low the caloric intake is for some reason. as per my first post on this thread I passed a couple of days in which I only consumed ~880 kcals as an experiment it was just as bad as starvemaxxing energy wise and the loss was not very big, diminishing returns.
In what culture is that a thing?
middle east.

That's so cool. Never seen it in the Balkans, but yeah possibly an Arab only thing. Everything smoked tastes better.
That's just your elegant taste, also I'm sure turks and Iranians have it too.

Yeah but a lot of it is just water weight and the sugars in your muscles, it's just temporary and you can't fast long term without losing muscle. I want to keep going to the gym and not lose muscle.
Idk man anything below 1500 kcals isn't worth it to try over starvemaxxing tbh at this point you're losing muscle no matter what.
that is exactly what I'm saying, there is no way a man my size, 176 cm tall and weighing 76 kg to have a bmr of anything below 2200-2000 kcals. it is simply not possible even with a super ldar-do-fuckall-rotting lifestyle, which I'm not doing.
It will make you fart. I am only carrying one apple and banana to job.boiled eggs by themselves = the worst food after canned tuna
@RuudVanNistelrooy
just ate five hard boiled eggs, the first egg was fine, it all slowly degraded to the darkness of the terrible food abyss after the first egg
lucky fruit eater
I think I will add another 200 kcals but I'm torn between eating 2 hard boiled eggs
or chugging iso
WellI think I will add another 200 kcals but I'm torn between eating 2 hard boiled eggs
lucky nigga I'm craving a salad rn dedsrs
Even 1500kcal is still technically starving since you'd be way under your caloric needs for the day.lucky nigga I'm craving a salad rn dedsrs
but I already came back from the gym dizzy and nauseated
wish I had more energy in me to make a salad rn
there might be some sight to it, I mean, I can get behind semi-starvemaxx 1100 kcal-ish but it needs lot of determination.
anything below is impossible it will make me significantly weaker for gymmaxxing
true. atleast I did good at the gym and had enough energy to make a salad yesterday
today totalstrue. atleast I did good at the gym and had enough energy to make a salad yesterday
protein intake was optimal too with the help of iso shakes, yesterday was a good eating day
not feeling any bit of hunger today

april 2025 update: the upper kcal limit will be dropped to 1500 kcal, as I'm experimenting to adapt with 1200-1300kcal-ish for the past two days and it's quite maintainable and due to the fact that most days of march I was below 1500 kcals.

protein intake will be depreciated to 120-130 grams, as it is very difficult to reach an optimal intake of 152 grams (2 grams of protein per kg of bodyweight)
we'll see how it goes this month
I say 2 kgs at best
I'm super cucked atm didn't eat shit for 40 hours because I ate exactly like this 40 hours ago
this is so tough to achieve
this is so tough to achieve
to put that in perspective, my breakfast today had ~800 kcals alone
View attachment 1421723
this means I have 400 kcals (optimal) or 600 kcals (maximum) to finish the day
got 5 kgs left to lose though.
