Fasting

No, but sometimes I try to hold my poops for 24 hours or more. It's like fasting in reverse.

 

I feel good today!

 

What are the supposed health benefits?

 

I'm currently doing the low carb and intermittent fasting thing, so I fast every day usually only eating one meal. When I was younger I would fast for a few days every couple months as a form of meditation and self discovery. I fasted for 2 weeks a couple times. Can't do that now, my job is too physically demanding I would get myself hurt

 

Does it count if you're too broke to buy food so you just don't eat? Lol

 

NIce! How is it working for you?

The only probably with eating once a day is that it's hard to get all your calories and protein in, unless you are able to eat a huge meal.

 

Well I started a couple months ago and lost 15 pounds within a couple weeks. Felt great...untill I had a gout flair up. I was eating a lot of spinach, cauliflower, mushrooms,etc. And they are all high in purines. So I stopped doing it for a while and gained it all back. I rededicated myself after getting on meds for gout and figuring out what not to eat for that. And now I feel great. But you're right I'm not getting all the calories that I should. I just don't feel hungry most of the time so I'm not eating lunch. Might eat a snack around 4 and then dinner at 6.

 

"I meant to say the only PROBLEM with eating once a day."

Was tired after work this morning.

 

That's what you get with only one meal a day! jk (although in earnest: it doesn't work for me though)
