My dad tells me that fasting like that basically lets your body use the energy normally used for processing foods to clean out unhealthy areas of the body, so no food or water means a lot of energy diverted to an internal cleanup.

I'm told animal products are a no-no. I should have fruits and vegetables instead. Apparently grapes and watermelons are the best at detoxing. I've got the shitty type A blood, so I shouldn't be having much meat anyway.

Honestly...the one thing the works legitimately if you don't care about dieting is exercising. LEGITIMATE EXERCISE. None of this walking bullshit, or I ride my bike and coast. I'm talking about actual I'm gasping while I exercise exercise. That is 100% going to make you lose weight. If you want results to be seen in like a month I guarantee if you were to monitor your heart rate, and keep yourself in the 160-180s heart rate wise for 1-2 hours every day. You'd see visible results in 2 months. Provided you didn't treat yourself to five big macs after every time you did that.

The only reason why I say gasping for air exercise, because you exhale carbon dioxide. You'd say but dastig, that's natural for you to do. Yes...yes it is. But when you exercise and exhale CO2, that's actual fat. Think about it. How do people get skinny? You think they shit fat? That all the fat turns magically into heat 100% of it? (somewhat true). Your body takes its damn precious time getting to lipolysis (breaking down your triglycerides), but when it does, your products are heat (you get hotter when you exercise), water (you sweat and piss after exercise), CO2 (you exhale that out), and ATP (that shit that gives you energy to even exercise).

If you aren't gasping for air and sweating pools of water and turning into a furnace when you exercise, you aren't exercising. If you're a 500 pound guy then yeah, walking is exercise. But if you're sub 300, it is doable for you to begin at least intermediate exercise.

And you're wondering as well...dastig why do I have to exercise for so long? 1 to 2 hours? You're insane man! Well...that's another great function of our body that it has to burn off all the sugars/glucose/glycogen. This has it's own pathway called the glycolytic pathway (our main big time energy boost, this shit gives you lot's of energy, it's why we fucking love sugar), which then leads to a ton of energy, water, and Pyruvate, which undergoes the krebs/citric acid cycle (if you're doing aerobic metabolism) to generate CO2 and use water.

Basically, you burn your glucose stores first and then once you finish burning all the glucose, then you get to the real meat of it, ketosis, where you ACTUALLY burn fat. It takes about an hour to an hour and a half of legitimate exercise to get there. You usually have about 1400-2000 calories worth of glycogen stored in your body. Which is why you gotta get rid of that shield of bullshit before you can get to burning fat. For me...it's about 1000 calories burned per hour. If you do this kind of exercise daily, your body won't have time to restore glycogen, especially if you diet. You eat 1500 calories in a day, how the fuck is your body going to save up glycogen? It can't so you'll be burning roughly I have no fucking clue but lets say there's 1000 glycogen stored. Work out for 2000 calories? You're working on fat there instead of glycogen.

Sure you can force your body into ketosis and steadily burn fat that way. I'm not exactly sure of how effective it is or how fast you see results. I know people are always about results immediately. In theory it should work honestly.

But this is definitively the reason why some people "exercise" and still don't lose weight. Or people "diet" and still don't lose weight. They still don't get around that glycogen shield that protects the fat.
