Veteran Log Why fasting helps you live longer, helps build more muscle. and my prolong fast LOG

today i did some cardio in the morning fasted. i got 2.5 pounds of beef and cooked them up along with some potatoes. food prep will last 3 days on those.

took care of a lot of errands and most importantly got a very nice 2 hour nap midday.

i like to take a 2-3 hour nap sometimes on the weekends. it really goes a long way at repairing the body and i have that luxury to be able to do that unlike other people who overload their lives way too much.

i think as you get older naps make more and more sense. i used to NEVER take naps but the body really needs that extra sleep once you start getting close to and past 50 years old

Had a sick workout this morning and got some sweet potatoes and beef to grill up. Will cook the sweet potatoes in the air fryer

Food prep is pro beef and potatoes are perfect. @stevesmi wish you had pics.

And I take naps at least 2-3x per day it works.

Bros beef and potatoes. Good fats, carbs and good protein.

 

[Austin316]

This sweet potatoes and beef looks really good.

Keep up the good work on the diet.

 

[sambee38]

Those are some good studies on the gut health. It shows how good fasting is.

 

[BookerTNY]

Very nice consistency on your cardio. You are a beast, hitting it every day.

 

[Arabian]

Yes, next time, get some more pictures of your meals.

We love to see the healthy diet.

 

[Zyglamail]

Great job on this update. You are the pro at cooking some high quality grass-fed beef.

 

[Shrine]

Sweet potatoes. Look really good.

Cooking them in the air Fryer is healthy too.

 

[caligirl85]

I really like to take naps as well, especially as I've gotten older really helps with the recovery.

 

[zedhed]

I really have a hard time taking naps.

But I'm gonna have to start trying to do more.

Took a few naps myself these past few days. Not had any for ages

 

[Noah Wixx]

I cant nap even if i dont sleep well, as soon as i get woke up im up for the rest of the day.

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

Weekend naps are great. I would rather get up at the same time I do during the week and then nap vs just sleeping in on weekends.

Very productive day

I had some vicious workouts the past week and my hemmorhoids ended up coming back strong. back when i powerlifted in my 30's i would get them after a tough deadlifting or squat day. when you strain a lot they tend to rear their ugly head. They kept getting worse and worse and it became painful to have a bowel movement.

So guess what I did? I fasted. Fasting is a great way to fix hemmorhoids because it will slow down your bowel movements and obviously there will be way less volume and #'s of bowel movements to give the anus a break. I usually have 3 bowel movements per day. 2 minimum. When you fast for a day the volume will drop and # of times will drop.

So in my situation. 3 day fast easy

Sunday fasting i had 2 bowel movements..
Monday I only had 1 bowel movement
Tuesday I had 0 bowel movements.
Broke my fast today at lunch then had a bowel movement an hour ago. zero hemmorhoids or pain.

no medicine needed
no doctor visits
no putting your ass in hot water solution that costs $30 from the drug store and all these other remedies that people will try.

just fasting which costs nothing. NOTHING and cured.

fasting can fix a lot of issues out there and this is just one of them.

Another thing I have seen lately is people asking about breads that are healthy.
Well I found a really good one that scans 90% on Yuka recently that i wanted to share and has all natural ingredients made from millet. zero digestion issues with it and it tastes amazing.
here is a picture of it. its a great option, i have been making it with eggs and making sandwiches out of it. i even use it for my burgers too and it tastes amazing you wouldn't even know the difference between it and the typical crap white bread people usually eat.

@stevesmi fasting is very effective for hemorrhoids and digestion in general. Very nice to see you fasting strong.
@medengines check this fasting update.

Great job bro

*the log starts on page 7

So I wanted to start up a thread on fasting that is based on science and not bro science and present some interesting information on studies that showed how effective fasting is. Obviously Rick and I have put up a lot of content on the podcast on it and of all the things we talk about the #1 questions we get is about steroid use of course but the 2nd is Fasting. this has been somthing that has been growing ever since Big Ramy and the other middle east bloc of bodybuilders who have been dominating the sport and will continue dominating have implemented fasting in their protocols. We all know they spend a month out of the year fasting but they also all do fasted workouts and fasted cardio.

I'm going to be posting info and studies and guiding you through the benefits and why it happens. this is going to be Fasting 101 class and not a thread of #Trustmebro. I'm also going to be doing a Mon-Friday fast during this thread

Here is a really good study on why fasting helps you live longer

https://gero.usc.edu/2019/04/18/eat-less-live-longer-the-science-of-fasting-and-longevity/

the study was done on both rodents AND humans found:

fasting for two days protected healthy cells against the toxicity of chemotherapy, while the cancer cells stayed sensitive. These results opened the door to a new way of thinking about cancer treatments — one that shields healthy cells to allow for a more powerful assault on cancerous ones. They also led to the creation of the first fasting-mimicking diet, which Longo developed as a way to put patients with cancer, or mice in the lab, in a fasting state while still allowing them to eat.

Did you mean you are fasting Monday till Friday or Monday and fridays?Very interesting post/log by the way..will go thru all that for shure!!
