Doing the Quadragesima

How manny catholics here are actually fasting right now?
I do it for the first time this year, and its really hard, any tips?

Are you allowed to drink? Go for a smoothie or something.

>deliberately starving yourself
why?

Here's a tip: stop wasting time starving yourself for the invisible sky-man. Do something productive with your time instead

Orthodox. We're Vegan throughout lent.

Akhmal's sperm is not only delicious, but also nutritious, all whilst not 'technically' a 'food'
For a second tier of protip, ask him to invite a few friends!

If you really want to know look into the work of Prof. Dr. Longo form Italy and his works about fastening and the FMD

I havent done it. Probably should. Kudos mate dont listen to these fat atheists who cant lay down the Doritos

But you're actually gaining time by eating less.

Water, not anything else

Is black cock still on the menu?

>why?

A small amount of controlled suffering can give insight into greater suffering and humility.

I actually need more time for cooking now because im not used to use no meat

im not drinkin mate lol

i did intermittent fasting when i was cutting.
it's fun once the body gets accustomed to it.
you get a sense of euphoria.

Most people just refrain from eating meat on fridays
Alot of half assery going on. I fucking hate this place

I don't get it. So you're cutting out meat but eating more other stuff instead? I don't think that's how you're supposed to do it.

SHOO SHOO GAINS GOBLIN

No, in catholic fasting you are only allowed to have one (moderate) meal a day.
But this must be without meat and oil (fish is ok)
So i have to cook differen't then im used to and look up and try out recipes what takes time

I fast on all the fridays of Lent. The rest of the days I eat normally. How do I fast? I abstain from food during the day, and after nightfall I eat a small meal. Also, during Lent is important to do some sort of penance, like limiting internet use or abstaining from sexual imagery and thoughts.

no meats thats all.

As far as Christians are concerned we fast so that we can learn to rely on God and trust that he will provide for us.

Job 23:12 and Matthew 4:4 for reference.

Take every opportunity to find support in The Word. Maybe prepare yourself a handful of specific verses which will help to raise you up when you are struggling.

Oh, I see. I'd probably just eat a lot of pasta, rice and cheese then. Seems easy enough. I feel like that kind of blandness is supposed to be part of the deal anyway.

Studies have concluded that a reduced caloric intake, without malnutrition, increases longevity.

I don't fast.

Simply because people who do piss me the fuck off.

There's a saying my great grandmother use to say. And she was usually attending mass two times a week.

>sin does not enter your mouth, it exits your mouth.

>I get mad at people who are developing a stronger relationship with God.

Your grandmother was correct.

drink lots of water. jolly ranchers if you start feeling light headed.

you fat nerds babydick drumpfkins could lose some pounds so yeah go ahead do this shit

GUYS I THINK I DISCOVERED SOMETHING IMPORTANT

GUYS FOR REAL THIS IS A BIG DEAL

>Fasting is a willing abstinence or reduction from some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time.

>Breakfast is the first meal of a day, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day's work.
>The word literally refers to breaking the fasting period of the prior night.

DID I JUST BREAK SOME ILLUMINATI CODE!? IS THE CIA GOING HAVE ME KILLED??? SEND HELP

I am...it's tough to put the cookie down :(.

Try to have your mind occupied and stay out of the cafeteria during the breaks.

it would literally throw off my workout routine because you need food to recover fast

so no

In these degenerate times, it's really important to develop ascetic discipline and self control. Fasting helps with that.

Anyone else here notice Catholics have a certain manner about them which is hostile/cold/generally insincere and unpleasant? Its hard to put your finger on it, but you can spot it miles away after you are around enough if them for long enough. A certain characteristic vibe.

>thought I was on /fit/

Fasting is fucking amazing. I have been doing 1-2 48 hour fasts a week and the weight has been melting off me.

I cannot recommend water fasting enough.

Only pussies do IF. Do a real 2-3 day fast.

Tips: dont be pussy beta

I only did it once.
In Hungarian tradition, the fast means you don't eat meat at all, only eat three times on Fridays and you don't stuff yourself full.

Right now I'm just trying to cut back on alcohol and fapping.

You just cant feel the blessing of the true church heathen

tl;dr

How to Get Fat Without Enjoying it In 3 Easy Steps

>getting fat from just one meal per day
only with Greek genes and Greek (non-existent) exercise routines

Fasting is plainly retarded, it probably had a use back in the day (stop eating the livestock during breeding period you niggers, eat fish instead) but in modern era religious 40 day fasting is a joke

Fasting daily from 6pm to 10am. Fasting during the day is for brainlets.
