If you want to achieve a nice swimmer body with lean, defined muscles and nice abs, go with keto and fast for one day every week. You can do 16 hours, 24 hours, or 32 hours if you like, just check with a doctor first to make sure you’re healthy enough to do so.
Keep in mind that ketosis basically means your body is eating itself, in the form of excess fat being burned and used as fuel. If you’re already skinny, you risk eating your own muscles, up to and including your heart muscles (not good!).
So anyway, if you’re happy looking lean and refined, do keto and combine that with calisthenics.
If you want to look like the hulk, you’ll actually need to eat more and lift progressively heavier weights. I can’t give you much advice there since I prefer looking lean to eating a shit ton of calories every day.
Bonus bit: fasting gets easier and easier the more you do it. You may have trouble sleeping at first, but that goes away eventually. As for hunger pangs, just drink water and they go away within the hour.
Coolest thing I learned from fasting is that it completely resets your cravings. I used to be addicted to sweets, but now I have no interest.
Consult with a doctor/dietitian before making radical changes to your diet and exercise plans.
Most doctors can go suck a big fat cock. They are fucking cowards who have been bought off by health insurance and pharma. When I got super sick recently docs at the hospital and my reg doc almost killed me. I had to pay out of pocket for a doc who wasn't bought off and guess what I'm better now than I have been in a long time.
Bottom line, fuck mainstream western medicine. Sure there is no safer place to have a heart attack or get in a car crash they will save you but for taking care of your health they are more deadly than almost anything in the U.S. (statistically true docs are more likely to kill you than many things youre much more afraid of.
I’m lucky enough to have not had that issue, but I can tell you this: you’re absolutely right about how corrupt western medicine is.
There are many reasons why that’s the case, but I suspect one of the top reasons is that people are going into medicine for the wrong reasons: money is more important to them than lives.
Haha sorry i got so aggressive right away really touched a nerve. Totally agree our system is sooo bad. I have done things that have helped a ton and none of my regular doctors would condone it, they wanted to put me on meds like cortico steroids and shit which almost killed me (palpitations apparently my body hates that shit)
Take care dude. I wonder if there is like a health optimization sub on voat?
most doctors dont get any training in health.. its all prescribe pills.
quick tip. if the box of food says KETO FREINDY or KETO.. 100% it is not really keto.
hidden bullshit sugars
As for hunger pangs, just drink water and they go away within the hour.
Bullshit. There are two kinds of hunger. One kind when you're well fed and it's time for a meal. Another kind when you're starving. When you're deeply hungry you're aware of it at all times regardless of how hydrated you are. quod experience.
For sure, but why would you be starving if you eat every single day of the week and only fast for like 16 hours?
Context, my dude, context...
