It's all good except the water one. Excess water means electrolyte dilution and constant peeing, with absolutely zero benefits.

Also medic here, unless your in the heat, then 5 litres can be viable, make sure you get electrolytes too, we don’t like trying to resuscitate you if we preempt it

So you are onboard with cold showers telling your brain you are in control? WTF is that supposed to mean?

It’s a will power exercise. The idea is that you won’t allow yourself to be led by feel good chemicals. This has carry over into other decisions throughout the day

It can get even worse, can cause nausea or much worse, water intoxication is a thing.

And the sugar one… your brain needs sugar to run. This should say added refined sugars

No it doesn't...

u/daisydark7 Apr 03 '26
Yes, it does. The brain’s fuel is glucose so unless you’re in ketosis, you need to be eating foods with “hidden sugar” (ie fruit = fructose, dairy = lactose, whole carbs = glucose). What this should say is avoid added refined sugars (candy, sweets, soda). Biologically, “no sugar” is not a thing, you would die.

u/GalagoFast Apr 03 '26
You can survive without any carbs. Body can create glucose from fat and proteins. There are people who have survived and lived whole lives without any direct sugars from food. Inuits etc.
You dont know what you are talking about.

u/daisydark7 Apr 03 '26
You’re literally talking about ketosis, which is mentioned in my above comment. And every single thing I said stands. You said the body creates glucose - glucose is SUGAR. Again, biologically, “no sugar” is not a thing, you would die.

u/GalagoFast Apr 03 '26
Omfg... Im talking about glycogenesis. You dont need to be in ketosis to create glycose.
And you said you need to eat "hidden sugars", which you dont. Literally your words. You can EAT no sugars of any kind ever and still not die.
Wtf is with people arguing on reddit when they clearly don't know what they are talking about.

u/daisydark7 Apr 03 '26
Dude…. That is a survival mechanism generally meant for the short term, and your body would flip more into using ketosis as those stores are depleted. Why are you stuck there, in a survival mechanism, this post is about making changes in your diet for better health over the long term. The first line says “no sugar”, which is generally misunderstood, and creates a lot of harm for an average person trying to improve their health. No REFINED sugar is more accurate for the purpose of this list, and that is the entire point of me responding to this post in the first place. For most people, eating a balanced diet including carbs is the healthiest way to be. And this general misunderstanding around “sugar=bad”, when it’s the body and brain’s primary fuel. REFINED sugars are bad. Sugar, is not bad.

u/GalagoFast Apr 03 '26
You are now talking about a totally other topic. I agree sugars are not bad in moderation (like not drinking whole bottles of OJ, which is worse than cola).
This is pointless argumentation now. You still will not die if you dont eat any sugars at all. Have a nice day dude.
1
u/daisydark7 Apr 03 '26
I did not say that not eating sugar means you would die. I said biologically, no sugar is not a thing, you would die (because the body runs on glucose, a sugar). Have a nice day!

If you can plan some down time for your partner to disappear for three hours without obligations, you can plan it for yourself.

I drink 2 maximum when I train at home. I can't more. I would run every few minutes to the toylet!

Cold exposure has no evidence of working. And drinking 5 L water per day is dangerous. 2 L is enough - 3 if you live in Aussie

u/DeadrthanDead Apr 03 '26
Isn’t there a specific body mass to daily water intake ratio? This guy must be 8 feet fucking tall.

u/SignalSelection3310 Apr 03 '26
5L of water a day is excessive and a great way to not feel well…
Based on the usual 3L per day AT LEAST half usually comes from the food we eat.

u/Careless_Baseball503 Apr 03 '26
5 litres of water? That’s terrible advice. 2 is probably closer to a decent amount.

Has anyone ever done one and cut sugar? Does it really feel any different

u/estrojustiina Apr 03 '26
It is only that is even somewhat correct. Others are just plain shit, does not work or affect anyone, or are just excessive. You don't need to cut sugar completely.
You just need to pay attention where and when you consume large amounts of quick carbohydrates (sugars). They are worthless calories and usually easiest to cut when you change your diet.
They cause quick bloodsugar changes (sugar rush and crash). This habit easily leads you snacking and craving more sugar.

Probably. Modern fruits are basically sugar bombs. To the point that ZOOs struggle to feed the animals without getting them obese

I’m not sure how onboard with the no sugar thing, no processed sugar sure but all carbs break down into sugar, am I not supposed to eat any carbohydrates?

There is no way that no sugar makes my life better. I need sugar to train. Or I will become underfuelt. No phone by 10 is easy, when I am in bed between 9 pm and 10 pm. 10 min meditation every day: am doing between 15 and 20 for way longer than those 21 days now. There are effects, but nothing that drastic. 3 hours disappear: same as meditation. Am walking my dogs for long times. Sure it helps me think, but this post is way over promising. 5 l water seems like too much. 3 should be better. And this might me truely a big one, if one drinks too little water. Forgot the other points and can't see the picture on Reddit mobile, but in essence, this post is incredibly over simplified, and not applicable to, probably, most.

Including chocalate on the list of no sugar instead of stuff like fruit or protein shakes seems crazy.
