This guy had a great ~1hr video on fasting. seems to known his stuff!

also:

most of the people I work with are "baffled" by how I eat etc.. ie, they never see me eat. I don't go get lunch. I don't eat anything while i'm there. So they don't understand how I can possibly not eat the entire time i'm there, and still be able to focus/not even look hungry etc. A few have made comments like "man don't have any idea how you do it" etc.

so just from my experience, people are baffled at someone who doesn't eat a major meal during work hours (ie lunch), or snack / eat throughout the day. you can tell it seems very foreign, because they have to eat lunch, and have to eat some snacks throughout the day. they simply, are hungry - but I am not. lol.

when we have special occasions, ie lunch is brought in, or someone just randomly brings in donuts, most of my co-workers hardly have any of it - they eat very "mice-like", trying to not eat too many calories etc. Meanwhile, i'll crush it, just to be respectful (imho). ie, I won't stick to my fast if my boss buys every1 lunch, I just feel that's kind of rude. It doesn't happen often, maybe once a month or so. So i'm not going to refrain from eating just to stick to my nutritional strategy. Instead, i'll dive in and act normal. But I find it funny how my co-workers won't eat lots of cake during a birthday, or won't have several slices of pizza, but during lunch they will eat these huge lunches & also snack throughout the day. I mean they are trying not to "overeat", but they are constantly eating and very frequently. They all carry significantly more fat than I do, just is what it is. I'm probably only SLIGHTLY more active than most of them now, since i'm not running alot etc. So i'm more like them based on activity level, but on the complete opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to diet.

slightly interesting, dno.

my real-world 2cents on it.

 

If you really want to go gung ho and strip right down fast, you can try dry fasting - goggle snake diet
Your body will burn fat as per normal fasting, but also strip fat to get water as your not drinking any....

2nd vid was kinda hilarious, lmao.

i'm good tho. will keep it "sane"

as for dehydration, i've done several long walks/runs without water (3+ hours etc), in the "blistering" south florida heat. really love it. losing 10-15 lb water feels great. but.... then re-hydrating or gorging (+ hydrating) on tons of grape fruit etc, feels even greater. dehydration + rehydration is an amazing combo, pure nature.

i wonder if there's anything like that for flexibility/stretching. ie, "you stupid inflexible pig, all you have to do is.."

daily mobility work, tissue/release work and stretching for 40 secs to a min has worked for me

The high frequency is needed

There is a guy called Got Rom, check out his YT channel, lots of good stuff.
I fixed my right outer hip issues from a few years back with his info

nice thnx

once he starts demonstrating his flexibility in his intro vid, i get "jealous". will check out some of his other vids.

i've made some pretty crazy flexibility gains lately - but not enough. especially in my hamstrings/adductors, which have been problem areas for years.

my main goal right now (other than getting crazy lean), is to get very flexible - which i've never been.

today i've been stretching my right hamstring/adductor every time i go into the kitchen (by propping it up on the kitchen countertop and doing a relaxed/long hold). the right side is much more jacked up than my left, it has to be a major problem.

i'd like to get to full split level and stuff like that. other than maybe when i was 8 years old or younger, i've been very inflexible in my hamstrings/adductors/glutes. around that age i just tightened up, and that was it. been "stiff" ever since.

being "very loose" must feel amazing. i just don't see how it can't feel amazing.

Well the Got ROM guy used to be like us and got where he is today with work

And it does feel amazing.
I used to do the wall calf stretch, when younger, and feel nothing in my calves, no stretch!
That's how loose my ankles and calves used to be... a far cry from now

I remember when i was a toddler. I used to sit in a chair and chew on the corners of my toenails.

Today I can barely smell my foot. My nose is probably ~10 inches away from my big toe. Very stiff
