[@Matt-bp5vy]

After fasting (assuming you eat needed daily sodium potassium magnesium, in good health and daily excersing to not lose muscle mass) for more than 3 days you need to start eating slowly to avoid refeeding syndrome. Good number of doctors agree about benefits of (although still there's a debate) fasting now but the number of quacks and chiropractors also talking about it and spreading misinformation is huge

[@pinokosthewife]

When you fast, your stomach shrinks! So a small amount of food can make you feel really full! If you don't ease into eating more after Ramadan, you often end up with a stomach ache eating your previous usual serving of lunch. So, his stomach probably had shrunk so much, that literally filled it!

[@AethenTheProotTheSecond]

Furreh!

[@ledam2654]

​@pinokosthewife Fasting during the month of Ramadan is not the same as water fasting. During Ramadan, food is still consumed everyday at Iftar and Suhoor, while with water fasting, only water is being consumed, nothing else.

[@MacAlmighty]

The re-feeding section reminded me of a story my grandfather told me about WWII. While liberating concentration camps, the American army (and some others I’m sure) would feed as much as they could to the victims, accidentally and inadvertently making them sick. On impulse it makes sense, you find a starving person so you feed them and try to counteract the malnutrition, but it’s a grim reaction.

[@airobotf]

I think the victims were experiencing refeeding syndrome (I commented before watching the full video)

[@MickeyGee73]

A real tragedy 😢

[@RationalGaze216]

My granda said that too. The soldiers initial instincts were to hand out whatever rations they had with them, but so many people got sick & died from this that eventually the army had to come up with strict guidelines about what kind of food & how much to feed the survivors to gradually get their bodies used to food again. That may have actually been where the term re-feeding syndrome came from

[@InsanementMedia]

It was that the incident after the WWII, that cued the people to the idea of refeeding syndrome…. If any does fast, i would suggest meat as the first meal, not fruit and vegetables…fruit are high in sugar which triggers inflammation and an insulin response, faster heart rate and increase of blood pressure… vegetables have a similar response, including root vegetables. Fruit and vegetables have chemicals in them that are harmful to the human body…look into botany and learn why vegans who abstain from meat, tend to be on the ill and sickly side of life and stay away from the SAD Diet… process and processed food are healthy for no one.

[@ViniSocramSaint]

Heard about it in college when a teacher that worked with children in dangerous conditions on other countries talked about rehydrating and re-feeding dehydrated and malnourished infants. Have to take hours dripping water drop by drop, either with electrolytes or minimal amount of dissolved stuff, a single drop out of place makes the child throw up and spasm. Forgot about the food stuff and the special care for even intravenous diet, but that alone is wild!

I was doing intermittent fasting and went glucose free for years. I felt great and I had a very physical job at the time. Then I started shedding a ton of weight one winter. It got to the point where I was eating over 4,000 calories per day and still losing weight. I was going through Diabetic Keto Acidosis without even knowing what that was. No history of diabetes in my family, but I am now a Type I LADA diabetic. I don't know if my fasting had anything to do with it. I'm just mentioning that these events all happened at the same time.

[@lachouette_et_le_phoque]

Hey, good on you for not automatically assuming those events must be causally linked!

[@jessicaolson490]

It almost certainly did not have anything to do with your diet. Type one is an autoimmune condition. A more common trigger is a viral infection. Sometimes it teaches your body to attack your own cells and then over the course of one or two years your body kills off the pancreatic cells that produce insulin! There are some families where it runs genetically but like you said there's no one in your family.

[@dougstrother5184]

Hi! Type 1 diabetic here. Type 1 diabetes is largely autoimmune. Meaning your immune system attacks the cells in your pancreas that produce insulin. It’s not impossible but pretty unlikely that it would be anything else. Im not a medical professional so of course do your own research before taking my words to heart because, as always, I don’t know what I don’t know

[@darcieclements4880]

I'm so glad you survived. It's hard to say if they were linked or not but people who have lower carb diets don't get the same diabetic symptoms as early as they should so it tends to jump directly to ketoacidosis which is terrifying. People who have zero carb diets will get ketoacidosis even without being diabetic.

I feel like I do something similar naturally. Well, naturally now. I have Crohn’s and as a kid I’d get really sick in the middle of the night so the doctors recommended no snack after dinner and making sure I didn’t go to sleep too soon after eating. I’d say my ‘window’ is about 8-10 hrs. I can’t eat when I first wake up, either. I have to give it an hour and keep amounts small because I will feel sick. So I have to supplement with a smoothie or something. That way I can get in enough calories.

And I did have some sort of supervision which was my brother who qualified as a Marine Corps field medic and I wasn't just going cold turkey I was drinking a Gatorade once a day along with a multivitamin and at least seven glasses of water a day. I forgot to mention that I also work for a hotel and I'm kind of surrounded by food.

[@lexibat7829]

If you're drinking gatorade, you're consuming a sh!t ton of sugar, which isn't truly fasting. (It's similar to going on a "juice fast). It's wise to supplement with electolytes when fasting, for sure. Look for elecrolyte drops that contain no sweeteners. (No artificial dyes or flavors, either!) You can enter ketosis on less than 50 grams of carbohydrates a day, (less than 20 grams will greatly increase your level of ketosis). One 20 oz bottle of gatorade has 36 grams of carbohydrates, 34 of those grams being straight sugar. The health benefits of fasting are due to autophagy, which begins at around 18 hours, but really ramps up after 24 to 48 hours. If you're consuming nothing but sugar, your body can't enter autophagy.

Now there are some people that have had special training in the regulation of the energy in their bodies such as some monks, but they don't feed off the sun, they get their energy from the Earth's electromagnetic field, but they've learned and trained with special meditation on how to do such a thing, and no amateur should attempt the types of fasting that monks do.

I'm old (60 plus) grew up in the country- sunlight and flowers in the spring/summer/fall, wonderful snow/rainfall in the off season. I remember running through the fields, hiking in the woods, swimming/canoeing in the river, and all those seasons, eating berries , leaves, nuts, and fish. Pretty sure I might have absorbed all the needed sunlight stuff, but SCIENCE tells me I might also need to actually have the ability to ingest necessary minerals/vitamins.

The 16/8 fasting works sooo goood! I've been doing it for 3 years now with regular exercise (nothing special), I lost 20kg in the first 3 months(I went very hard on exercise the first 4 months) and haven't gained the weight back yet. I eat 1 meals a day(mostly a very large lunch and a big fruit shake(with yogurt and fresh or frozen fruits) at night and light snacks in between usually around 2000 to 2500 calories) I don't even feel hungry during the 16 hours and I don't deny myself any fast food cravings(with moderation of course). I snack on cheese puffs, chips, pop corn, and chocolate, there's really no restrictions, but if I have potato chips for example it's mostly to satisfy the craving and I don't need it for another month or more. don't get me wrong at the start it was hard, the craving is always there, but 3 years later It's barely there like an old friend who calls onces in a while. I used to count calories very very strictly at the start, but now I just have a feeling when it's enough. you'll eventually get used to the amount of food and calories by looking, plus going over or under a little isn't going to hurt you. I look good, don't have to stress over what I eat and my huge lunch is always super satisfying, the fruit shake satisfies my strong sweet tooth as well. not to mention one meal a day is so easy to maintain!

[@jessicaolson490]

@@jessicaolson490 most definitely but at this point its about physical comfort and the constant carrying of caustic sludge in the gut was too uncomfortable, always having to make sure i knew where a bathroom was is gone. I am not a doctor or a nutritionist, but this diet is sustaining me, it felt like the natural solution as my eating habits continually changed, eventually landing where i am. I think not having to pass solid waste is worth the monotony of a generally bland diet. 190 calories per equate, 80 calories per gatoraide, 30 calories for the daily dose of calcium, 15 calories for the daily multivitamin. Im probably not consistent in my frequency of beverage consumption because i just grab one or the other whenever i get thirsty. I can still consume and pass solids but it is discomforting and makes me wonder why everyone still eats solid food.

You don't need a strict diet. Simply cut out sugars wherever possible. And carbs are in the same category of easily bio-available energy... which you probably don't need if you aren't rocking it on the court or at the gym. But bread is fluffy and chewy and fun to eat. So I got cows and now make cheese regularly, in order to satisfy the craving. Substituting Lettuce or Cabbage leaves for bread, is a very price-conscious method, and it seems to mostly work. I can't get my damned hydroponics system to actually grow the stupid stuff.... lol. I really want to. It is nice to make your own favorite food.
