Can we have a discussion about intermittent fasting and the glorious foods we get to break our fasts with?

Why arent you fasting anon?
Its the best thing you can do to extend your lifespan and the plus side is you get to enjoy all the foods that are off limits now.

You need to take a day off and spend it not eating. If you are really worried you use a cheap glucometer to make sure your blood sugar does not go too low.
Once you do this a few times it will get better and better.

I hope you had some serious reason why you literally couldn't ingest anything with calories, because just starving yourself is just as retarded as hamplanets and their "muh metabolism" bullshit. Both extremes are shit.

[Anonymous No.6873991]

>>6873983
>>not achieving full mastery of mind over body

weakness is an illusion, you must suffer the pain to see the truth.

i did it just to prove i could. i'd be working at the bakery and a co-worker would be slathering some artisan bread with expensive butter hot out of the oven, soft and fluffy, so sweet and rich. and i'd look at her eating it and feel such an urge to just gobble a whole loaf. but i decided inside of myself to not eat for two weeks; and that is exactly what i did. and the pleasure of feeling in charge is one that lasts forever, where the idiot alarmist body can only offer a short burst of drugs in exchange for obedience.

mind over matter. do you feel in charge?

Not really anon and just because you are hungry does not mean you are starving to death.
Its really not that tough and the health benefits are off the charts.

[Anonymous No.6874008]

>>6873991

I starved myself in high school, it's not fucking hard. Eating a healthy and balanced diet while trying to lose weight (unless you're fat and can still eat a lot of calories while losing weight) requires significantly more effort than just starving yourself. I have no reason to play games with myself so that I can feel like have some retarded sense of self worth.

[Anonymous No.6874011]

>>6874005

> just because you are hungry does not mean you are starving to death

Who said anything about that? Of course that's the case. If you want to lose weight, expect to be fucking hungry sometimes because it's not normal to be stuffing your face as soon as you feel hungry.

That guy wasn't doing IF, nor was I talking about. He was just fasting for 2 weeks for no substantial reason.

Needing to go on a retarded conquest to gain self worth from feeling ~~so superior~~ to some fat cunt with no self control by starving yourself is just fucking pitiful.

Anyways it's common knowledge that the body starts digesting itself for nutrients after 3 days.

First google link. Look more if you want, it's everywhere. This isn't some obscure knowledge, this is common medical knowledge. It's like being told to find the source that smoking causes lung cancer.

fasting makes you feel energetic and euphoric

[Anonymous No.6880257]

>>6880143
Then you're doing it wrong, it has to be 1/3 less food than would normally be enough, if you feel energetic then your body isn't in "cut down and ride out the famine mode" which is why it works, It's just not worth it.

[Anonymous No.6881198]

No anon, it is you who does it wrong.
Fasting should never be more than three days.

[Anonymous No.6881232]

>>6881198
What I'm trying to say is that the principle behind it works, but not if applied by fasting, that just causes you to go too far during fasting and eat enough food in a short enough time to negate it outside of fasts. And all you will get is intermittent days of pain.
