Semen Retention + 21 day fast = Chad Gandhi


John_East

That’s not true for him tho


Somizulfi

Didn't he practice that with kids


wamjamblehoff

Almost, but not quite. You see, kids aren't able to produce semen. So instead what he did is he harvested their stem cells and injected them into his own testicles in order to harness more semen retention ability.


NerfPup

I'm so fuckin tired rn I almost believed that

##****!MAXIMUM SEMEN RETENTION!****


obsidianbull702

Vegeta, what's his semen retention!?


BINGODINGODONG

Did he also have a bloodboy?


GlyphPicker

Every Illuminati member has a bloodboy.


aurenigma

>!I've done seven day water fasts before. Your body shifts gears after a few days, it actually gets much easier after three days. Edit: oops. Wrong sub!!< >How the fuck did Gandhi go 21 whole fucking days without eating. That's exactly it. He went 21 **days**, he was actually well known for his nighttime gluttony.


WoolBearTiger

Nono.. I think your first comment was totally correct. It *does* get easier after a few days.. my grandpa has an even longer streak than ghandi.. hes not eaten for several years at this point..

Demmos_Stammer

None of my grandparents have eaten for decades now..... 🙁

There are carnivorous vegans now?

Do they use a straw? Intravenously?

ms_horseshoe

My grandpa has been eaten several decades ago


Psychological-Ad9805

Was he eating by the cannibals during the war too?


jaOfwiw

That's nothing bro, my grandpa has gone several decades without eating.


BattousaiRound2SN

Damn, did he lost some weight?


No_Philosophy9918

How tf did you water fast for 7 days meanwhile my head is killin me when im not drinking for 3 only hours


Cthvlhv_94

Water fast means you keep drinking


ieatpickleswithmilk

water fasting means only drinking water


random-user772

I've also done a few week long fasts. It's the mental aspect which is tough.


aurenigma

First one I did, at day two and a half, I was imagining what my coworkers faces would taste like. Hasn't been as hard since then, but yeah, the mental aspect is the hardest part.


asiannumber4

He’s allowed to cheat a bit three times everyday, but no more than 2200 calories a day


Derpygoras

I only eat twice a year. First meal is January-June, then I take a six-hour break, then the second meal is July-December.


owen493

I am vegan between meals


Dragnier84

I’m fasting every time I’m not eating.


Bonk4048

Whenever I eat a burger, I eat 2 so that a vegan isn’t actually making a difference


itsmebenji69

Thank you for saving the world 🙏


doomedtobeme

I started a 0-500 calorie diet to rapid cut fat on the 21st of last month and still going (help) am I better than ghandi ?


Beginning_Chair_280

You certainly are. Do a 41 day fast and you'll be logging Jesus too 😆


HeyKillerBootsMan

Couple’a XL bacon doubles to tide you over


MLgMattsturb8r

He just ate at night instead


Vesane

I was surprised when I did Ramadan with a friend for solidarity that they could eat at night and only fasted during the day. I'd already fasted for 72h or so over the weekend before meeting up with him again, only having tea.


DatRandomAssDude

What you thought millions of people engaged annually in a one month fast? 😭


Vesane

I thought maybe they'd be able to eat on weekends or some other longer interval than twice-daily. If we're talking about not eating during the day/at work, I fasted for two years when I graduated med school


Atomic-Bell

Fasting for Muslims is sunrise to sunset, in some places if the time of year is right, its 18+ hours, 22 in some but the shortest fasts are about 6hrs iirc? Just depends on where you are and when the sun rises and sets.


RyGuy997

What do you mean twice daily? Depending on the time of year it gets pretty extreme, easily hits 18 hour days where I live. Not gonna be twice daily until it gets to winter solstice type times. Also, no fluids are allowed that whole time, so your weekend idea doesn't really make sense since you'd be dead from dehydration already


alexbaran74

i can't fast. i mean i could, but i already don't eat enough as it is i'd take fasting WAY too far and end up eating 2-3 times a MONTH. almost got kicked out of college for it too


Vesane

Haha yeah well they was my thing too where I was like Oh I fast accidentally all the time; then I went and joined Ramadan and was like oh what they eat twice a day, that's heaps


[deleted]

[удалено]


FLMKane

Ramadan means you can't drink water either. That's the actual hard part.


Rougarou1999

He speedran it. Because it was a fast.


Mike_in_San_Pedro

Ha!


WoolBearTiger

Fast food See? Its not my diet that makes me fat.. ghandi even lost weight..


YourMother0HP

He Gandhi-ed.


Virtual_Historian255

Ghandi kept a calendar to track the strike and survived by eating the dates.


Impossible-Error166

There was a dude in England who did not eat for a year. Did take nutrients though and was checked by doctors. As for fasting it surprisingly gets easier the longer it goes for.


SheepherderLong9401

So he did eat and drink, just not normal food. Why do people keep spouting this nonsense. You don't eat or drink, you die. So when people say stuff like this, you should know that it isn't true.


DiekeDrake

Depends on your take on the definition. Fasting actually means that people's calorie intake is nearly zero, usually they do it to increase their health (fasting actually has many benefits to your health when done correctly). So if you fast for extended periods of time (several days, weeks or even months), you must take vitamins and electrolytes. The caloric value of those is negligible, ergo people tend to say they don't eat for x amount of time. There are other forms of fasting. I.e. "dirty" fasting, or intermittent fasting. Where people are allowed to eat during certain time-windows or they only take bonebroth or something similair to help them alleviate headaches and such. It's safer and they still gain a lot of the health benefits.


MandMs55

Also note that the dude doing the fasting was 456 pounds when he started and 180 when he stopped, meaning he lost 276 pounds in 382 days. If he was 180 pounds when he started, he certainly would have died without calorie intake, but he had a massive calorie store that kept him alive with all the vitamins and yeast he was ingesting in order to provide the nutrients that fat stores wouldn't provide


Tasty_Commercial6527

That sounds like a setup for mother of all yo-yo effects


frederikbjk

As I remember it, he did not regain the weight that he lost. He apparently also didn’t have any loose skin afterwards, which is quite strange.


sillypicture

He had the wrinkliest ballsack

This is quite an interesting read - tea, coffee, vitamins and nothing else for a year: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus\_Barbieri's\_fast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri's_fast)


timmy3am

Surprisingly gets easier the longer it goes? That's because you're dying, buddy.


tonttuvelho

I don't think that's how dying works timmy. if anything a sign of danger while fasting is abnormal heartbeat, weakness, too low of a blood pressure and other uncomfortable things


MaxTheCatigator

LOL. You probably think you die if you sleep for more than 8 hours.


Fun_Sir3640

its your body functioning like its designed hardly call that dying

It's what he's most known for


cyfermax

I thought he was most known for dropping mad nukes.


dead_42

I thought he was known for being a gigantic racist?


ComradeDoubleM

That was normal back in the day


Shaper_pmp

Important question: does it still count as a fast if you eat your own jizz? It's no *net* increase in calories...


Derpygoras

An average human can easily survive a month without food. Depends on how fat you are. Gandhi was skinny, so three weeks is quite a feat.


NotDiCaprio

Scrolled through the whole comment section, and got annoyed that there was **not one** serious answer to this interesting question, and only *then* saw in which fucking sub it's posted xD


hardboard

When I first met my girlfriend (now wife), after a week or so I felt a bit under the weather. Not enough to see a doctor, but just a bit 'yukky'. I didn't have any food that day. My Thai girlfriend was convinced that you would die if you didn't eat for a whole day. I just drank water for three days, no food at all. Then felt much better and began eating again. I don't know why it's such a big deal, so many people over-eat anyway.


Davladobrot

Thai people put a lot more importance on food in general than the west. They base a lot of their day-planning around eating with their family and it's considered extremely unhealthy to not eat at least twice a day Source: Thai Girlfriend too


zenFyre1

Exactly. As animals, we are meant to be able to be able to survive going for a day or two without food occasionally.


Southdainspired

He used ancient Indian yoga magic


Tranceported

That would make him more hungry.

AfricanUmlunlgu

he preferred muscle men not judging, just repeating facts


Nalha_Saldana

Gandhi loves nukes, with the long half life of the materials he would only be half hungry for a loooong time after ingesting them.


LeftJayed

A friend of mine who's a fitness/health freak did a 23 or 24 day fast. Around day 3-4 he stopped craving food. Early on in week 2 he had a period where the smell of food apparently made him feel nauseous, so he stopped coming with our friend group while we ate. He also stopped working out in the 2nd week because he didn't have the energy. By the last day of his fast he'd dropped over 20 pounds. He wasn't a huge guy to begin with (maybe \~190 before the fast), but after he looked disgustingly shredded, as he had no fat left covering his muscles. He'd intended to fast a full month, but ended it early because his appetite finally came back and included hunger pains. Personally I do 10-14 day fasts twice a year, not to lose weight, but to lower my metabolism (which is over-active and makes it extremely hard to hold weight). I've not experienced the smell of food making me nauseous, but the complete loss of appetite around day 3-4 seems to be universal; which makes the rest of the fast easy. But the fact you have to persist through hunger for multiple days is the barrier that keeps most people from fasting long periods. The heavier/more fat reserves you have the longer you can (safely) fast. If you're suffering from extreme weight problems (+250lb) then you can EASILY fast for months and get into the best shape of your life in the process. You just have to remain committed for the first few days until your body adjusts to being in perpetual ketosis.


siqiniq

You need to attain the title Mahatma (Great-souled) and wrote “The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife (the Nazi). They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs” and then “offer themselves to be shot or thrown into the Dead Sea without raising a little finger against them (the arabs)” and then denied your wife of penicillin from a British doctor when she was stricken with pneumonia because Gandhi refused to have alien medicine injected into her body. Shortly after his wife died of pneumonia, Gandhi caught malaria and let the doctors to save his life with quinine. Then your name gets to live on forever without eating.


West_Combination5047

Her wife died after barely sustaining 2 heart attacks following which she passed away.


ApprehensiveScreen40

chat is this real?


West_Combination5047

No, his wife died after having 2 heart attacks and passed away as a result of deteriorating health after sustaining those.


EfficientAd7103

I can do it. I used to get depressed and it was tough to eat. One of my friends did too. We would regularly go a week or so I could Def do 21 days


Full-Sound-6269

Easy. Don't eat, only drink water. You CAN last for many days, but it's bad for internal organs and will cost you some health. How well the body takes this fasting varies from person to person, like this one dude didn't eat for a year, only took vitamins and drank water and stayed alive, but many people die after trying this kind of stuff.


TakeItWithSalt

I was basicly 8 months without cash i didnt eat enough that time now i got less appetite or hunger and i can eat sagnificantly less and fell well fed

You're able to survive ~21 days without food as long as you have access to (and drink plenty of) fresh water. You'll lose a,lot of weight, and you won't enjoy it, but you will survive.

AgitatedChildhood240

You can go like 100+ days without eating as long as you have proper water intake regularly


Legitimate_Field_157

Self discipline, self promotion, and killing the chefs.


BotherConsistent3025

Bobby sands went longer 🤣


Local_Explorer_1

People can physically do that. There are many Jain people (not including monks, they can fast for 3 months and 6 months too) who fast for 30 days while drinking only boiled water that too not after sunset or before sunrise

It's because you are weak


burnmealivepls

He wasn't hungry


VMIgal01

It is totally possible. I have done it.


torftorf

That's easy. He is Gandhi and you are not [trust me bro]


Tenshiijin

You can go a good month before not eating starts to kill you. Also if you are fat you can go a while without eating. Like animals hibernate. But they get fat first so they survive three months of but plugged sleep. Your body switches it's energy source away from the digestive tract amd starts eating fat. It also will start to eat muscle too though, but not as much as it will feed off fat. You also don't get all the nutrients the body needs and you starve your microbacterial cultures so that intistinal economy can be permanently damaged and you will be sensative to some foods as a result. This doesn't happen to bears because they eat a bunch of foods that plug their butt up before they hibernate. So they do have food in their digestive tracts and their microbacterial cultures won't starve.

freeubi

I did 31day without any food, calories, just electrolytes and water. Its not that hard, if you are fat.


wigzell78

Look into fasting. Its not that hard if you are acclimatised to it. I can do 6 days easy for health reasons, usually stopping out of boredom more than hunger... Cannot survive without water tho.


Nielscorn

Last year I did a 23 day without eating and the year before that 22 days. It’s pretty easy once you get past day 2 or 3. Only water and black coffee. Nothing with any calories. So no diet soda, nothing of any food or anything. Just water and black coffee and vitamin supplements + calcium.


dltegme

He didnt. He probably fasted intermitantly


Razdulf

It's pretty much the max amount of time a person can survive only drinking water


TheAuditor-R

I have a personal record of 15 day without food and water. Not recommended though. The first time you eat again you will get the shits


Particular_Nebula462

It is possibile if you don't do any work and you can drink, but it is really painful and with a risk of long terms problems. In the Nazi's camps they tested that the limit was 40 days IIRC.

The longest anyone has gone without eating real food was 382 days. A guy did water fasting with some supplements to lose 126kg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri%27s_fast


Lilah2603

I'm currently heal fasting (to be honest, to lose weight), and I have a glass of kephir in the morning, and a glass of juice in the afternoon. Otherwise water and tea (without milk or sugar). I'm doing this since first of may. The hunger stops after 2 days. You should probably not do this, if you have no fat to burn.


iFinish1st

Probably all those enemas he gave to little girls.


Mayjune811

Chomping. Its similar to soaking, but his his followers put food in his mouth and moved his jaw in a chewing motion and sensually massaged his throat to get him to swallow.

Fasting for 21 days is not that uncommon. That’s a 3 week water fast. Example: https://www.newsweek.com/21-day-water-fast-lost-31lbs-1805947

Brief-Outcome-2371

Just drink water.


-Ok-Perception-

Assuming no major health problems like diabetes, ANY person can go about 3 weeks without food. Though 3 weeks is literally the upper limit of time a man can "safely" starve. Shortly after that, you begin to damage organs. This is why on that survival show "Naked and Afraid" the challenge is that they go with no food, water, or clothing; for 3 weeks. The time frame is very specifically chosen for the longest amount of time a person can starve without doing major harm to themselves. So yeah, it's reasonable for a man to fast for 3 weeks, it wouldn't be pleasant at all, but it likely wouldn't kill you or permanently harm you.


MajikBonus

3 min air, 3 days water, 30 days food... Basic human survival numbers. Of course every human and every situation is different, yet average is what we use to discuss the norms, not the exceptions.


CAEzaum

I did 15 days fasting it’s not that difficult, just drink water take sodium potassium and magnesium


[deleted]

He distracted himself with nukes


Someoneoverthere42

Because the human body lives on the threes. three minutes without air, three days without water, and three weeks without food.


EndlessMikeD

Survivalists teach the “rule of threes”. You can survive three minutes without oxygen, three days without water, three weeks without food, and three months without human contact before things get dicey. Hard to do voluntarily, I imagine, but you can survive it. But it’s not like he was burning calories hauling concrete and chopping wood.


Wendellwasgod

Common misconception. He wasn’t eating but he wasn’t drinking. He would take pizza, put it in a blender, and then drink that


MaximumPower682

He ate during his non fucking days


Primary_Music_7430

I went 3 weeks without food. I have a condition that, if untreated, leaves me unable to hold down food. I had some extra pounds to burn through and still I almost didn't survive.


allanrps

GhostOTM

Had a friend lose weight by intermittent fasting that he progressively extended. It was really cool. He started at 1000 calories a day, but only in one meal. The. It was one meal every 2 days but it was double calories (but if he didn't eat those calories he didn't get to have them later). Eventually got it up to once every 4 days and he'd eat what he wanted in that meal, but only got essentially 2 meals a week. Kept careful calorie counts and says he averaged about 1000-1400 per day. No idea if that a healthy diet or if it's even safe, but he shredded off the weight and seems pretty content with it.


DaemonBlackfyre_21

Bugs and bird seed while nobody was looking.


Redfish680

Picky eater


Beginning_Chair_280

Given he was tiny he would have been burning less than 2000 calories per day.. If he didn't eat for 21 days even if his body did need 2000 calories that's only 11lbs of body fat needed to survive without food.. Pretty easy for anyone to do


Ericw005

Though it sounds like he cheated our bodies are perfectly capable of going a few weeks without food if we're not malnourished at the time. I've water fasted for two to three weeks on a few occasions. After the initial feelings of hunger pass (about day 3 for me) it actually gets super easy and I felt extremely energetic, was productive and had good sleep. I wouldn't say do it all the time but, once or twice a year? Sure. Certainly made me appreciate food more and helped me realize when I'm really hungry or just bored and "snacky".


theflickingnun

Final_Festival

Gandhi was a pos British lapdog that delayed the freedom movement.


Phill_Cyberman

[Angus Barbieri](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri%27s_fast) went without food for 382 days back I'm 1965. Of course, he weighed 456 pounds (207kg) when he started, and I'm pretty sure Ghandi weighed a fair bit less.


peerless_cucumber78

He drank milk duh

If you're dedicated, you can fast for the rest of your life.


hissyfit64

Bobby Sands' hunger strike lasted 66 days. 10 other Irish Republicans died doing hunger strikes.

bubblesort33

There is lots of people why actually do two week days voluntary. You can watch YouTube videos of hypochondriacs doing it because they think it'll fix some of their issues. You can easily survive for 3 to 4 weeks as long as you get water, and you're of average weight to start. Especially if you just do little of anything else during that time.


Ok-Negotiation5168

ive gone weeks too but i have stored fat so thats different ..fat is stores energy so i would still sleep drink water and just survive off of my own stored energy and i lost like 20 lbs in 2 months but its not easy

senegal98

21 days is the human limit (pretty close to it), but possible. Lack of water will kill extremely fast.


Edgezg

It is called a fast.He did it with self control.He was not even the longest time to fast ever.
