    I started getting some days of semi clear mind without much brain fog..
    It feels awesome!!
    It is much easier to get things done, like you can do something and keep doing it for more than an hour without being much distracted or bored.
    I could do multiple things at the same time without losing focus, like talking on phone while doing something else.
    I could focus better in exams without doing weird mistakes.
    I could plan and think logically rather than thinking like an idiot.
    It feels as if the front of my brain has some fluids running in it, it feels lighter and I actually feel like it is functioning, and the strange thing is that the better by front brain gets the better my eye vision gets.
    I remember things faster and develop ideas faster.
    I can do calculations in my head without doing mistakes with numbers like multiplying instead of adding them..
    Still I get brain fog most of the time but it is declining slowly.
    I wonder how will it feel when I completely get rid of it!
    Tell how did it feel when you got rid of it, it will help raising hope for those who suffer it, specially students !!

    @Guybrushgood I am now about 50 days, but things are not stable, sometimes I am like I mentioned above and sometimes it hurts, but it is getting better overall, I am on hard mode and I see a difference clearly.
    I tried going on soft mode and it didn't work, I felt nearly no difference.

    Also worth noting that brain fog is a symptom of many insults that the body can receive and what might relieve one persons affliction might not work the same for another.

    I have had brain fog with PMO and have also been brain fog free with PMO. In my case fasting and getting my lifestyle and nutrition in order blasted away the fog. On a fast and drinking nothing but water for several days until my pee started coming out a deep brown colour (not kidding), this was my cure.

    Do I believe there are physiological benefits to nofap, most definitely, I simply think we should keep expectations reigned in as sometimes a more holistic reboot is needed to get rid of brain fog not just nofap.

    Some of us may need more than just nofap to get completely healthy. Nofap should be seen as one of many steps towards better health physically and emotionally.

  7. Would you say taking herbs and looking into Chinese medicine be beneficial in addition to nofap? I want to do a long fast to piss brown like you! You think it’ll be okay to drink coffeee on a fast
     
  8. My brain fog started to lift at around 27 days. On my previous streak. I'll see what happens this time..

    I did feel so much more clarity after that fast, and the cotton wool sensation behind my temples diminished noticeably. I was so happy I did another 36 hour fast shortly after, then a 3 day fast.

    I think the herbs/supplements that can help with brain fog and the ones I take every day are:

    1. Milk thistle x 2
    2. Dandelion x 2
    3. Calcium D Glucarate =500mg approx. (https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.bulletproof.com/calcium-d-glucarate/amp)

    Always use reputable supplement suppliers that are well established. Glass bottles are used by good companies and don’t skimp too much with them, your better off not taking cheap supplements if you can’t afford them.

    These supplements are supportive to your liver when you start to detox. I hope this helps you amigo.

    In terms of fasting, try a 24 hour fast first, then a 36 hour one. When you get past the 24 hour mark that’s when your body starts kicking out the brown piss (or it did in my case). Drink nothing but water. A good way of doing it is to eat your dinner, then eat nothing till the morning of the following day. That means you have to evenings asleep as you fast. Don’t take the supplements during your fast unless you feel really lousy, take them before and after. During the fast it should only be water.

    Good luck and let me know how it goes!!
     
  10. Nothing but water? Sounds hard! I wanna start Friday and go to Saturday, so I might need coffee, but I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks brother

    A low carb diet like a ketogenic diets also works to improve mental skills and blast away the brainfog. Got very high rewards from that i really can recommend it.

    Have you watched a post of any dude how really really, but really has overcome in 100% this issue?
     
  15. This can take a long time for severe cases many of which are on yourbrainonporn. I have had brain fog for years, due to pmo'ing.

    I must be lucky then, I usually notice being cleared of brain fog, or at least reduced brain fog as soon as the 4-7 day range hits, and improves gradually the more days ago. Then again, I hit the gym and eat pretty healthy, so that could be another factor.

    Since I was 12, but then again, I spent a good portion from age 12-15 without immediate internet access, I had to use my imagination, I'm not sure if phone sex with the gf counts, but hey at least I had a gf then, can't say the same now lol
