Ash Wednesday is one of two yearly days of obligatory fasting and abstinence for Roman Catholics, along with Good Friday.

Fasting means a person is permitted to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may also be taken, but they are not to equal that of a full meal.

Hey there whatcha doing with that pad Thai?

the official rules got cucked in VCII. now you can eat one big meal and two snacks. when our grandfathers were kids, you could eat one snack. i'm too weak rn to do the hardcore, but i've done it before, successfully, and it's not bad if you don't try to work out or bike to work or whatever. any discipline is probably better than the alternative, though.

Fasting from water is amazing brother. Just don’t do it too long. I’d say go for 36 hours or so and rehydrate. Don’t try to kill yourself with it, but it can provide a nice sustained “kick” to the end of life get water fast. I’m doing 5.5 days total right now. 4-days water fasting, 1.5 days dry fasting. I will report on my results. Already 12+ hours into the dry fast part and feeling pretty good. The real tell will be tonight (if I have muscle spasms, low back pain). I’ll let you know.

Dry fasts are stupid and will fuck you up. Don't do them. Instead, drink electrolyte water (aka SNAKE JUICE), which is just 2L water + 1 tsp baking soda + 1 tsp no salt (KCl) + 1/2 tsp table salt + 1/2 tsp food-grade epsom salt. That way you don't fuck up your organ systems from an electrolyte imbalance.

Dry fasting is totally worth it for 36 hours or so and draws out endogenous water from internal fat stores, or from swelling in your joints, and it encourages autophagy.

I don’t drink magnesium citrate or sodium bicarbonate with my electrolyte water. Just sodium chloride, potassium chloride, ACV, and lemon juice from a squeezed lemon.
