/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Because your stomach is agitated from starving and food gets dumped into your intestines faster, which causes mild bloating and discomfort.
Basically you're being a retard. Eat less overall during the day, not starve yourself and then inhale food.

>>16852295
eating too quick id bet. i used to have the same problem after long fasts

>>16852305
I'm really not, it's like a bite every three minutes or more because I feel like such shit.

>>16852295
Stop fasting I guess. Or just eat slower and get used to fasting. If you've never done it before it takes some practice. You should eat more than that if you're fasting a lot though. You're listing about 200 or so calories a day.
If you're doing it for a week, whatever, if you're doing it awhile don't do that. You're just anorexic at this point.

That's a retarded way to lose weight.

I'm gonna be in the minority here but I suspect the cabbage. eating cabbage every day kills my appetite and makes me feel like shit, especially combined w/ low cal diet.

starvibg yourself is for when you beed to lose 50+ lbs, not 15.

just modify your diet.
let me guess. once you lost that target 15lbs you were gonna go back to starbucjs and chik fil a, huh fatty?

OP, how much water are you drinking? are you familiar with the feeling of being dehydrated and becoming really nauseous when you finally drink water? could be that feeling.
used to do it to myself accidentally from summer sports, it's a terrible feeling. probably pretty easy to do if you're not eating all day, people don't realize how much moisture they eat normally.

>>16852464
I drink about 1L of black coffee and about 1L of water throughout the day, a can of seltzer with dinner

>>16852634
That's not a lot of water. You are actually probably dehydrated if you're drinking that little while fasting. I think almost 4 liters a day is recommended for men, 3 for women. If you're eating regularly you get a lot extra from the food, but if you're fasting then you're not.
Over do the water if you can. It's hard to be too hydrated.

>>16852634
Drink less coffee and drink more water. That way you're not filled with acidic bean juice and your body is properly hydrated to deal with processing your reserve nutrients. It'll also keep your stomach from shrinking so you'll feel less gross after eating.

>>16852641
>>16852644
Thanks fellas, I'm gonna give this a shot

>>16852295
eat your meal significantly slower.
space it out over an hour.

>>16852295
Lol
This is literally mental illness under the guise of "fasting". Sad thing is such behaviours are being normalized. Even thought of as "healthy".
Watch all the /fit/ fags and snake juice fags come in and call me a fatty.
>Am I killing myself?
Yes.

you want gold standard science bitch? double blind randomized studies? stop listening to retarded blogs and lifestyle youtubers and get yourself one of these bad boys

ah sorry wrong book, but theyre both very informative, especially for americans with their meme education

>>16852295
Why only half a chicken breast? It's practically pure protein. Eat the whole thing, then eat another for lunch. Fasting is good but don't be a retard drinking so much coffee on an empty stomach.
Also eat pickles as a snack. You shouldn't guzzle liquid all day if you're not getting sodium from anything.

>>16852295
Why not just exercise? That is always an option.

>>16852295
It's because your body is used to regularly consuming carbs and sugars. What your experiencing is withdrawals. Keep doing it and your body will recover. It'll be painful, treat yourself to a nice big steak with plenty of seasoning to make it more bearable.

>>16852295

You might also just not be getting the nutrients that you need or are used to, so you should try gradually working up to a fasting schedule. Try 12/12 then 8/16 for a couple of months first.

If this doesn't help, you should see a doctor; getting consistently sick after eating is something that needs to be looked at.

>>16852295
Weird question but that cabbage looks very tasty. Is it just plain boiled cabbage?

Also anon your issue is just that eating after a long fast does that, you need to start slow. I work with some muslims who fast on the holy month for about 12 hours a day (sunrise to sunset) and they always break their fast with something very light, like dates or fruit, then a small meal. Otherwise you feel sick.

>>16852295
You'll get used to it. Maybe cook them down in some water to aid digestion

You are experiencing nausea due to lack of electrolytes. You need to drink potassium, sodium, and magnesium to fast without getting ill. You WILL however still feel lethargic and you should limit your fasting honestly, my feeling is that lethargy cant be good all the time. One 48 or 72 hour fast per 2 weeks at most. Eat good nutritious food at a slight calorie deficit when not fasting like organ meats, fatty fish, squashes, sweet potatoes, citrus fruits

If you are serious about continuing, get magnesium glycate, potassium citrate and iodized salt bulk powders. Take 4g each of salt and potassium and 400 mg per day of magnesium in water with some lemon juice concentrate and liquid stevia or sucralose. This will reduce your illness while fasting

>>16852295
You aren't eating nearly enough. You need calories

Not everyone is cut out for OMAD/intermittent fasting. Dangerous meme to fall for.

>>16853958

>>16852634
>1L of coffee and only a liter of water while fasting
Are you crazy or something ?
First of all you should never go above 3 cups (Not amerilards cups I mean actual teacup sized) of coffee per day. You're getting way too much caffeine. You will be going through withdrawal from this shit if you stop I bet especially if you have been doing this for a long time. Also getting this amount of caffeine is terrible for anything beyond staying awake. You lose motor control and your ability to think clearly.

Coffee is also diuretic. Its contributing to your dehydration. Add that to how little water you're drinking and the fact that you are fasting and you get a recipe for disaster.
Also cabbage is pretty difficult to digest. Get some food that's easier on the stomach.

>>16852295
I had this happen to me OP. I wasn't even trying to lose weight particularly, and I ended up drinking a lot and when I would drink I wouldn't feel hungry, then when I would eat, it would make me feel sick. Eventually even thinking about food made me sick. I ended up weighing about 70lbs and having to be hospitalized after this going on for years.
>>16854537
THIS turned out to be the issue. I was severely deficient in electrolytes, specifically magnesium and it made it really hard for me to eat.

Even over a year later now I have no feeling in my feet, feeling I lost as a result of this behavior. Be careful, OP. Take magnesium.

>>16854537
>>16855060
For OPs sake hope this isn’t the case but it does seem to fit the bill with their likely dehydration exacerbating it as well

I know that feeling, but that's because I'm borderline alcoholic. Waking up on a Monday with a ghastly hangover, but barely able to drink the water I need to return to being a functional wagie.

>>16852644

Yeah no. That's some magical health food bullshit, coffee isn't significantly acidic and even if it was that's not a problem. Caffeine is diuretic, sure, and can make you agitated/tense if you have too much. It's a stim, duh.

>>16855573
1L of coffee is certainly well into "way too much" Territory.

>>16855430
What an absolutely retarded post

I didn’t think North Koreans had access to this site

>>16852295
There are so many things wrong with this idea. You almost definitely got this idea from other retards on the internet as well.

If your body begins to believe it is starving, which with a diet like that it most assuredly has gotten there, you are absolutely fucked once you’ve lost the 15lbs. Your body will begin to hoard all calories you consume and they will instantly be stored in fat, because your body doesn’t want to starve the “next time” you are starving to death. However, we live in modern first world countries, so you’re not going to ever experience this starvation unless you force it upon yourself. Therefore, you have condemned yourself to a life of a fucked off metabolism by convincing your body it’s starving to death.
Furthermore, you are probably devoid of many essential vitamins and minerals your body needs to survive. Having these deficiencies opens you up to a host of other health problems.

As others have said, eat less throughout the day, and make sure you’re eating enough to not be literally starving to death. Anyone else who is considering this idea, please don’t, you can lose weight while still acting like a normal human being and don’t have to LARP as an ascetic Buddhist monk to lose weight.

this. im doing the exact same thing i have lost 15 pounds in 11 days with one meal a day whatever i want even a beer. cabbage sucks ass I have to make an effort to get that shit down. if thats all i had to look forward to all day i would be sick too.

>>16854537
This, OP. When I was fasting, in order to prevent nausea I would drink some hot water with salt every morning. Worked like a charm

>>16855638
t. doesn't know jack shit about the human body

snake juice conoisseur.

You should never diet as an event. You should have a diet and a nutrition plan of some type, even a simple one. As the year progresses and your goals change, ideally around fitness, as well as health maintenance, you should be adding and removing foods and calories.

You should eat around five times a day including small healthy snacks. You should keep a food journal. You should weigh yourself once per week on roughly the same day in the morning after you go to the bathroom. You should afford yourself some excess and get back on track right after.

>>16855702
>15 pounds in 11 days
I guess you started on a full stomach of eater or have a tapeworm

>>16855887
>half a chicken breast
>231 calories
>cabbage
>one head
>176-307 calories
If he’s eating an entire fucking head of cabbage, he’s getting ~400-600 calories a day, and presuming he’s only eating maybe one-two cups of cabbage, it’s definitely closer to 250 calories a day. A chicken breast and cabbage is nothing close to a nutritionally complete diet - he’d be better off eating milk and potatoes. This is definitely a diet devoid of the necessary daily intake of calories AND devoid of many essential vitamins + minerals. This is what you call starving. Sure, he might not die right away, but this is a sure way to die slowly.

If you're doing fasting of more than 2 or 3 days then make yourself some soup.
Tomato soup is good, not a thick soup or stew but more watery.
You need to ease your gut into taking food and soup is the best.

so many retards that don't understand fasting in this thread

>eat half a chicken breast and some cabbage and immediately feel so sick that I can't finish the meal
in OP post they clearly said they "cant finish the meal", which suggests the meal is larger than half a chicken breast and some cabbage. couple of people here seem to be reading it as the diet being half a chicken breast and some cabbage but clearly the OP would like to eat more, and planned on eating more.

carry on with the thread everyone just wanted to get that off my chest

nigga the body can't make decisions like that, fuck outta here
>omg ull trick ur body into hoarding calories yo
totally bro, that's totally going to happen

ana-chan here

your blood sugar is going crazy and making you feel sick. that and youre probably dehydrated, your stomach lining is sensitive from being in acid all day, and basic stuff like that. but main this is your blood sugar. have a sip of water and a small bite of food, sit on it a bit, and then eat your actual meal

>>16852295
>starving for 22 days just to lose roughly 5kg
>when a proper diet, drinking water and exercise you could shit that out in a week
really?

>>16855573
Coffee has a ph of around 4, which compared to your stomach acid isn't crazy, but when it's the ONLY thing in your GI tract it's gunna make you feel like shit

Just find some chink doctor that has medical tape worms. One of those will make you lose weight in absolutely no time with no effort. Then just take an anti-parasite when you're finished

Do CICO with exercise with an emphasis on a high protein diet like a normal person and you will not have to literally torture yourself.

Less coffee, more water, add a little salt to the water or coffee (we are talking 1/16 teaspoon here).

Coffee will dehydrate you and cause your stomach acid to become imbalanced from the extra acid it adds without food to dilute the effects.

So much so that it might be good to take an antacid tablet (Tums/peptobismol works)

>>16852295
You probably need to eat some fat. Chicken breast is almost pure protein. Protein without any fat or carbs can make you sick, look up "rabbit starvation". Cabbage is also mostly just fiber and water, and lots of water on an empty stomach when you're really hungry can be nauseating too.

Add just a little butter or olive oil, and some lemon juice too for freshness. You're already barely consuming any calories so a couple tablespoons of butter won't make much of a difference. You could also try adding a little ginger which is often used to help settle a stomach without adding any calories.

But you'd be better off trying to adjust your diet to something that you enjoy and can maintain long term, because short term extreme diets like this don't continue working if you start eating like you used to. It'd be okay to have some rice or sweet potato with it or something too, what you mainly want to be doing is just avoiding processed foods which will help you lose weight.

>>16857925

I did a 5 day zero calorie fast and dropped 14lbs. Sucked but at the end I wanted to turn it into a 10 day fast. Unfortunately, my wife was borderline hysterical at that point, thinking I was going to suffer irreparable harm, so for humanitarian reasons I called it off at 5.5 days. It’s crazy what happens around day 3 where you burn fat full time, and it really makes me think (tm) about thepotential benefits of just burning all available fat off to clean house, who knows how long that nasty shit has been there. Not obese, maybe 15% bodyfat, so ten days would really clean house.

>First of all you should never go above 3 cups (Not amerilards cups I mean actual teacup sized) of coffee per day
Eat shit. Almost everyone in Finland drinks more than that daily.

didnt read the thread but protein only (cabbage is mostly carbs and half of them is from fiber) is a bad idea. add fats into the diet. coffee with coconut oil is good. nuts preferably walnuts would be key. I'd personally add in dairy to start and end a meal since that's good for gut health. preferably you should be doing 48 or 72 hour fasts and refeeding in an hour. make sure to get your electrolytes

>>16858346
Yeah no wonder its filled with fags like you. I don't care what you fuckers do. Max recommended daily intake is 3 cups, period. YMMV but its not up to me to figure that out for you. Drinking 1L like OP is is just way beyond anything reasonable, even beyond the caffeine intake.

>>16852295
Eat some saltines while everything else is cooking
Also remember that any drink that isn't water also counts as food during a fast

train yourself better, try picking an 8 hour food time and the other 16 is no-food time. get used to this before you start doing something so severe.

>>16858732
people do it every day don’t get so worked up. I know a lot of people that will eat food if offered during the day but left to their own devices they eat one meal in the evening after work then go to bed, every day. They’re not even doing it as a special diet. They’re not even all thin.
One reason “OMAD” always seemed weird to me…. That’s just what people who aren’t very interested in cooking do in my mind.

>>16853958
>you, too, can look just as healthy as this guy if you follow my special diet

OP, do you even know what your TDEE is? You need to be eating that minus 500 calories for steady weight loss. Also, if you're doing OMAD/Intermittent Fasting, you need to be sure you're actually getting all your nutrients. Control for portion size and calories and actually try to eat from all the major food groups. Be sure to stay hydrated and get regular exercise too and all that.

And chew your food, a good hearty mean should take at least 25 minutes to eat.

>>16852295

anon ur a fucking idiot, when u starve yourself its becomes more difficult to eat actual substantial foods.

consume less sugar, eat regular meals with a food from each group and exercise. if you starve yourself, you'll put the weight back on twice as quick in a v short space of time.

ignore fad diets, fasting and meme calorie counting bullshit - none of this will help you

Why are women so fucking retarded like genuinely anyone who thinks this is a man is a retard too

>>16855638

The difference between the highest and lowest recorded individual metabolisms at the same given weight/height/body fat % is about 300 kcals burned per day. "Starvation metabolism" is a complete fucking meme. And eat a multivitamin if you are so paranoid about getting scurvy.

.t lost 170lbs while "starving to death"

>>16852649
Dont forget that if you are doing anything that makes you sweat you need to have salt and just salt won't break your fast.

>>16862632
They have magic bodies that summon calories from another dimension. If you eat maintenance after fasting, you might gain some water weight back you initially lost, but yeah, that's it. No way around basic physics.

I also like the guy from this thread wo lost 22lbs in 5 days from. Ignoring water, that would be like a 16'000 kcal deficit a day. Reasonable if you're 600lbs of muscle and work out 96hrs a day I guess.

>>16863823
>guy from this thread wo lost 22lbs in 5 days
no one in the thread said that. But >>16858197 said he lost 14lbs from a 5day zero cal fast, and did refer to possibly burning all his fat off as "cleaning house", which was a little weird. he seemed a little obsessed.
