Fasting

[Onzoup]

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. I am really motivated to do a one week water fast later this month to see how my body copes with it. I have a 8 hour desk job and I am kind of overweight (220lbs; 5’8). I am in my early 30s and not at all athletic. After over 5 months of nofap, I have come to believe that nofap itself is not the panacea to all your life’s problems, but it is the ‘drive’ to bring about positive changes. For the past 4 months I was in a prolonged flatline and depressed; down in dumps. I had started to doubt everything about nofap. However, in the last 3-4 weeks everything’s changed for me. I feel like my body is on fire. I feel amazingly warm and cold winter doesn’t bother me all. I have stopped wearing winter wears to office. It feels like hot wine is running through my veins; it’s both intoxicating and scary. I get amazing erections every morning. Even in office, slightest suggestion from even an average looking female colleague gets me hard as rock.

It feels like my blood is boiling and generating the heat all the time continuously. This sensation has gotten stronger after I have started taking cold showers every morning and sometimes in the evening.

My target is to loose 30-40lbs in and become fit. I have started doing weight training for the last two days. My exercise routine doesn’t get affected by my daily intermittent fasting schedule. I have a few questions, hope you would clarify them.

Did you work out during your fasting? If yes, for how long and what was your routine like?

Did you go out often during the period or stayed mostly at home?

Did you tell anyone that you are doing this? Did your family and friends supported you?

Are you planning to do this again?

Thanks again for sharing your story. It’s motivational.

I researched it for a while about 4 months of on & off research, I did it for health spiritually religious reasons. The main thing that motivated or gave me the strength to do it was a Silent Treatment in the Amazon Jungle, where you are alone in a one person hut for the amount of time(1 week for me) & the “doctor” or “professor” it’s in Spanish so culturally it means something different, would come around and give me Ayuhauasca.

After that three months later I started my fast cold turkey.

The first 3 days I was jogging a bit but by the 4th my energy had left me to want to workout.

Days 5-10 got better as I didn’t have hunger My body completely adjusted itself and entered ketosis.

Days 10-30 I lost all hunger my body was simply feeding off fat. During the first 20 days I would try to drink a gallon of water a day to flush everything out and detoxify my body as much but the feeling of thirst also was leaving me.

Days 20-40 my drinking of water dwindled. The last 10 days were probably the toughest. My strength had left me and I could start to feel weakness.

The last 10 days I felt very little thirst, there was one occasion where I drank water and threw it back up. Then came insomnia, my dreams were so vivid so real I would actually physically move to what I was dreaming. (It’s said insomnia occurs as your body enters survival mode due to the fact from primitive humans would fast or starve from a bad season & Not eating would have their bodies enter fight mode (loss of sleep to get them up and hunt) causing them to hunt) Then for some reason my bed became uncomfortable that I started sleeping on the floor the last 10 days. The last 10 days I barely showered once every other day, the taste of water made me uncomfortable too. I became sensitive to everything!!! it’s weird but I think I could feel myself thinking haha or I was just delusional lol The last 2 days I barely slept.
Keep in mind I had energy through the 40 days I was alert and I was also working full time, I was also playing as goalkeeper for my five a side soccer team ( I’m usually a field player but my strength to play was gone).
The 40th night I slept about 2 hours and rose knowing it was time to eat.

Refeeding
I made myself a green cold press juice at home. Red cabbage, celery, some herbs, & umm I can’t exactly remember what else. As soon as I drank that at sunrise, I past out! Lol not like fainting but I took a 4 hour nap. The energy needed to process that took a toll. I had one more green juice that day.

I didn’t like green juice so the next day I had watermelon, 2 ounce of watermelon twice a day & slowly increased the ounce every 5 days. After the 10th day of refeeding I incorporated honeydew or other melons,

20th day I started having papaya. Essentially for 30 days I had water dense fruits.

The next 30-60 days I began incorporating vegetables &
by day 60 I started eating meat very small portions (like a bite or two)once a week the first week then twice & so on and increased them as such.

By the 4th month I started to have starches like rice potatoes & spices and my body felt 1000000 times normally better. The fifth month after the fast I could say I was eating normal yet avoiding as much processed foods but then Then my ex broke up with me then my car got stolen then my arrest warrant was issued then my naturalization process was almost halted All while starting a new job (started 5 months before my fast) definitely an EgoDeath ahhh now I’m on nofap ahhh. Jus another fight!

Physically I came out reborn
So much energy flexibility my skin was super clear, my teeth were pure white, My tongue was brilliantly pink. My eyes glowed. my hair was shinier and thicker. The physical transformations is amazing literally cleanliness is close to godliness so to say.
Unfortunately my mind wasn’t ready for the events that transpired months after my fast. On this day though I did break a habit of picking at my hair which was never bad jus something I’d do and I’m able to breathe a lot clearer through both nostrils My hair is still thicker My flexibility is better as well, my metabolism is still high. There was a time during my fast where I woke up and I was breathing so clean and clear I couldn’t even feel myself inhaling oxygen through my nose.

The Refeeding process is far more important than the fast Jus know that from all the research I did That’s the most important thing that came up constantly!

here are my stats from my fast I just looked for, My Height is 5’11

You don’t need to be athletic at all to do this & it is life changing. If I didn’t go through the terrible events after the fast, I’m sure the physical results I would’ve gotten would’ve been more concrete and benefited me a whole lot more.
But the fast also moved my life! If I didn’t do that fast my gf wouldn’t have broken up with me(on the 21st day of the fast she threw a hissy fit and gave me the silent treatment but I was so focused on my fast I didn’t budge, I loved her but at the same time I was following a purpose) and it was one of the reasons we broke up
if I didn’t do the fast My car wouldn’t have gotten stolen(it was stolen from a health bar early in the morning after a workout before going to work) when my car was stolen I called the cops and the cops told me I had a felony arrest warrant(clerical error) if I had never know about the arrest warrant I would’ve gotten deported( I was at the very last stage to become a US Citizen)
All these events impacted my life tremendously by one decision I made and I am going through an ego death because of everything of last year.
I am suffering I feel so lost weak frail band at times with suicidal thoughts but ready to recreate myself in a different aspect to continue improving. Obviously the porn weed and binge eating these past 5 months didn’t help but I’m am now beginning to understand myself in a different way. My goal now is to be able to get to your goal of nofap nopmo for as long as you are & while doing so incorporate everything I learned from the fast.

The first 3 days I jogged 2 miles everyday & I think I lost 10lbs but it was mainly water & excess that my stomach probably had. After that I didn’t work out at all. I would play goalkeeper for my 5 a side soccer team(once a week) which was not serious at all Jus standing in goal & trying to make saves. & I would occasionally go for walks.

at the time I had a gf & we would go out like go for walks jus chill I would avoid social settings though. But yes mostly I stayed home, go to work, go for walks, go to my soccer games, I wish I read more but I was always on YouTube, that was a mistake. The days were dull and tranquil.

yes I told my boss, he got upset about it Thinking how stupid it was but I still did my work. My family knew about it They didn’t care as long as I didn’t die lol & some friends like a couple maybe But I tried not to talk about it & focus on completing it.

I do plan on doing it again but I need to be more secured in life to do it. The first time I did it I was in the middle of a lot of things I’m surprised I went through it while so.

There are all kinds of fast in 2016 I did intermittent fasting (16-8) with a complete 1 day fast every week for 3 months. That helped me a lot too. You’ll definitely learn a lot about your body and gain maybe more from it. Fasting is ingrained in humans It’s in our dna It’s part of what led us to what we are today but we’ve lost our way.

I read that while fasting on medication That your body will respond better. A lot of cancer patients see better results of fasting while on chemo. Autophagy

I am quite keen do combine food fasting and masturbation fasting. I gotta believe that the two together would be a powerful combination.

yes, when I had a gf I never had interest in pm Because she was responsible for that. Then I found out she had a porn blog ahhh I still stuck around I don’t know if she was a sex addict or p addict but after we broke up I turned to p.

when she showed me her p blog I was like wtf and she asked me if I watched it and I said no cause that’s why I have you. A year later we were having sex while watching p I think that’s when p started getting more into my head
