Preface: I know one of the goals of the snake diet is to remove the need for medications, and I don’t need to be reminded of the harmful aspects of amphetamine use. I’ve done quite a bit of experimenting over the years and only use Adderall on rare occasions when it’s actually quite useful.
My question is if anyone knows of any interactions with autophagy or anything that would decrease the benefits of the fast. Also, the context of this is mostly in using it on the first day of the fast. I’m starting a 7-day snake juice fast today and took Adderall this morning to help with some tasks. I don’t plan on taking it at all throughout the rest of the 7 days, I just want to make sure I didn’t throw my body off at the start by using Adderall on day 1.
Sorry if this question has been asked before, I’m new to this subreddit and also don’t really know how to work this website.
Just in my own experiences with coffee during a 5 day water fast is it definitely got my heart rate up and dehydrated me a bit. That was on my 4th day. I didn’t drink anything else besides water before that. Just had a habit at work and had a black coffee. I’d say if it was just on your first day, it’s basically a non-issue that your body isn’t in any stage of autophagy, nor will it mess your hormones and offset anything.
It’ll definitely help but I wouldn’t recommend. You could become very agitated taking stims on an empty stomach. I used to be prescribed my freshman year but I definitely got addicted. So glad I got off. Everyone’s different
Ya that’s what I’m doing man making it easier to start, he addresses stimulants in one of the long podcasts where he’s a guest. He thinks coffee screws up your gut and it’s like yer getting those negative side effects because you don’t even like the taste of coffee u like the high it gives you, he compares it to ppl saying liquor tastes good, no it doesn’t u just like being drunk. Then he said it messes with the feeling of smooth energy all day. Which is fair, I imagine that once I get down to certain weight and I’m really trying to dial in my health, then u gotta start trying to not take it, but I’m def gonna keep taking it to help me get this started.Yes I expect to be irritable sometimes but that’s why u just keep yer pie hole shut and just remember being grumpy is all in your head.
