Fasting before RU/Ella/Licorice etc cycles

[bruschi11]

So I'm on day 7 of a 21 day Breuss fast that will be ending on 11/13. That following week or so, I plan to begin 3 days of 50mg per day RU.

I'd like to ask [mention]gbolduev[/mention] exactly how long I should wait after the fast to begin the RU? Maybe there is a sweet spot there that can provide synergy.

Also, would running one of these for a few days while fasting have a chance to make a difference?

Hey guys,

I'd like to bump this thread. I'm going to be the first to trial RU after a 21 day breuss fast here and would appreciate any help as to when I should actually pop that first pill after my fast. Again, looking at 3 days right now, but I'd love to get an opinion with a better grasp on this than me. Would love to hear from you [mention]gbolduev[/mention] on this topic when you have the chance.

But would [mention]TubZy[/mention] , [mention]IHateFin[/mention] , or anyone else have an opinion on this?

i think tubzy did his refeed before popping his first dose of ru, but im not 100% sure. i personally would do the refeed which i think is a few days of slowly introducing foods before taking ru.

also 3 day cycles seem to be superior and they also improve with less dosed so event 5 to 10mg is more than enough to tank progesterone and potassium; however, we dont have cycles for that low of a dose yet.

Give your body some time to reset and find balance before you go tipping the scales again. I would say one week minimum would be best, going as long as you need to before you feel stable and know 100% the effects of the fast. I don't think it's a good idea to jump into RU directly after a fast, especially when guys need to see more clean trials.

I think that might be the plan now. One full week of re-feeding or maybe 2. Get my strength back so I can separate the feelings of fasting vs. RU.

I believe I'm doing just the 3 days of 50mg per due to the success we've seen there. A month later I might go smaller for 3 days like 15mg per day. How are you splitting it up? Dissolving in distilled water?

I like where @mattyb 's heads at haha would be good to get a couple weeks in between there to see what is affecting what.

I used a pill cutter to split the ru into 50mg pretty easily since its a large pill. to get to 5 to 15mg I would put the 50mg portion in a dime baggy and beat it with the back of a spoon to make it a fine powder and I have a 10mg micro scoop that I would use to eyeball the dose.

that's my method haha not the most accurate but it would work. I would then take that ~10mg dose n put it in an empty capsule and down the hatch!
