I just love topics like this.

Actual health experts: "This is a bad idea"

TC: "I did some googling, it's okay"

He's not really doing it.

Tell you what, when all health experts can agree if egg whites are good for you, I'll start listening to them.

The health industry isn't like science or physics, it thrives on confusion. That's why health magazines can say a lot of shit without many conclusions. I know water is good, I know reducing your calories in can be good, and I've seen several documented videos of people doing water fasts and benefiting from that. That's good enough for me.

I mean what does the health expert say should be happening to me right now? What should my body be feeling?

If they don't have answers for things like that but instead top out at "nope that's wrong" the frankly I don't care what they think. Because the health industry has "experts" that will disagree with each other all the time.

I'm feeling better, I've lost weight, what is the problem?

I like how he said that completely non-ironically considering the exact same logic applies to what he's doing right now.

One may even feel a sudden bout of hunger. To overcome it, just drink one or two glasses of water. Then lie down and take rest. The hunger should go away in a short time. If the hunger keeps recurring, consult your doctor.

lol

I don't get how this is easier than eating more veggies and less nutrient- hollow food.

TC's likely doing some irreparable damage to his immune system, granted he's legitimately going through with all this.

Still, I keep checking back to engage in a good laugh.

Ce 500 topic attempts have gotten very clever, havent they ahahahaha

Shhh, I'm trying to scare him.

He might be fine now, but wait until his kidney done gives up on him for making it work extra hard for something so stupid.

Lol this is literally the most lazy diet possible. Hey I don't want to exercise so I will go on a "water" diet. I find it hilarious that some one so lazy believes they can loose weight. Like buddy as soon as you stop the water diet you will gain it all back. Unless your plan is to literally starve yourself for the rest of your life.

Honest question TC, what are you going to do once you are done with this water diet? Are you going to go back to your old diet? Or are you going to make real efforts to change it to a more realistically healthy and sustainable diet? I have a feeling that if you just go back to your previous diet, then whatever benefits that you may get from this will be short lived.

TC doesn't really get how healthy eating works. I'm sure he's gonna go back to his old diet with no added benefit whatsoever.

Diet and exercise is so hard tho

I know a lot of body builders and nutritionist. We talk about diet all the time and never have ANY of them ever recommended a water or liquid only diet.

What awaits TC.

First of all, your name is pizza party.

Secondly, how can it be the most lazy diet, kinda by definition a fast is harder than any "diet".

Man you guys are really going crazy in here, and your logic doesn't even make sense.

You can't be 24500 calories in deficit and literally be back to 0 the moment I eat a burger.

I think you guys just like feeling smart and you really don't care if you are right. Water fasts exist in tons of religions too, get your head out of your butts and stop trying to manipulate a guy who is doing something to better himself. Again, how the fuck can you say this is WORSE than eating exactly as I always have?

You can't, therefore I am doing something to better myself, so it is objectively dumb to try to talk me out of it.

Maybe some of you are upset because you couldn't handle anything this strict for a week. idk. But every doom-sayer's prediction about my current state after 6 days has been wrong, so maybe, just maybe, the people in hysterics are the ones that are wrong.
---

Just came in to say I doubt you're actually doing this, but regardless it's a stupid idea and I look better than everyone here.

Yeah, as a very heavy guy, I am not keen on exercise. Tell you what, I will do whatever exercise you do while wearing a backpack of 200lbs. Give some evidence that you did exercise X while carrying 200lbs and I will do it, otherwise you really can't give me shit about exercise without being a hypocrite.

As for diet? I'm on literally the hardest diet there is. How can you say I'm wimping out on diet if right now in this moment I am 6 days into a diet you couldn't even do?

RB, I know you shitpost, that's fine, but you've reached your limit of doing it in my topics for the month so just cool your jets, ok?
---

He's going all out

A water fast is actually really healthy and recent research is confirming that a few extended fasts per year might be incredibly good for you. Make sure to squeeze in some salt and magnesium to keep your electrolytes decent. Good job keeping it for six days. After 3 I'm done, trying to build up to 5-7.

No one said that you would be back at 0 the moment you eat a burger. We are saying you will be back at 0 at some point (probably relatively quickly) if you go back to your old habits after this fast.

This DEFINITELY doesn't help your case

She said it was fine as long as I listen to my body. She happened to need bloodwork so we'll see how all my levels are, but last I saw her was a month ago and since then (aside from this 6 day fast) I have not been eating any healthier than usual. And now, compared to that day I am down...

23lbs

Also my blood pressure was way down. So a doctor gave me the green light, I've lost a lot of weight, I feel better and my blood pressure is down. Are people STILL going to act like I'm super wrong?

Also
6/7 complete
145.5/168 complete (I started at about 2pm)

All of this only matters if you maintain it. Of course all your shit is going to be down, anyone's would.

Your blood work could be fucking terrible though.

How about my blood pressure being down? How about the doctor being ok with it? Are you now claiming that you know better than a doctor?

I like how I guessed your doctor was a woman and I was right #2017 #itsherturn

She's been my doctor since I was like 10

Also I don't have ball cancer so that's good

Congrats on making it so far, TC. What are your plans for when you break the fast? Are you going to eat healthy from the start or are you going to treat yourself?

No sure. Honestly at this point I feel like I could keep going forever, and considering the weight I'm losing maybe I should keep going. I did want to go to the movies and It's only been once or twice recently on a diet that I could go to a movie and not get popcorn/soda. I fucking love that and our local theater has good popcorn/soda.

So how's that headache, TC.

Do you not read? I said "Of course your shit's going to be down". This includes your blood pressure. Your glucose levels will be down, your salt levels will be down, your cholesterol levels will be down.

Your blood work will determine how healthy you actually are.

And again literally none of this matters if you can't maintain it anyways. It's not like you're actually dieting.

So are you just a troll?

You are like standing by somebody walking up a mountain and they get 10% up the mountain and you are saying "none of this matters unless you reach the peak" like, no it does matter he made it 10% and I did a week of fasting that lost me weight and lowered my blood pressure and made me feel better.

All progress matters, you can't succeed without progress. Yet you are insulting my progress as if I could somehow just be thin now.

Trying to find an excuse to tell somebody that is legitimately taking steps to better their life that "none of it matters" is just something a shitty person would do. There is no reason for it, no good motivation for doing it, you are just being a shitty person trying to insult somebody who is currently bettering his life.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Lmfao those are some rustled jimmies. You literally are exactly like Xsquader, you only read what you want to read.

If you want something good to come of this then you need to actively make lifestyle changes to keep this up. If you just go back to your old lifestyle then this literally means nothing.

You're just malnourishing your body and expecting it'll do you good in the long run automatically.

And your metaphor is fucking garbage.

Literally acting like you know more than a doctor.

I'm lost weight, and lowered my blood pressure and improved myself and feel better and you are gung-ho as fuck on convincing me that it "literally means nothing". That is just sad. What is wrong in your life that it is so important to you to try to talk other people out of their happiness?

Sorry, you'll have to try to rain on somebody else's parade because you've got no leg to stand on here and it's just looking more and more desperate.

BTW day 7/7 and feeling great.

I like how you're missing the point that. That is, it will mean nothing in the long run if you don't change your diet to a more healthy diet going forward

I also like how you have dodged the question every single time in this topic when someone asks what your plans are long term. It's been asked multiple times and not once have you answered it and I wouldn't be surprised if you dodge it this time too.
