    I've observed a handful of people who look "young" for their age who do fasting. Not statistically significant. Agree with Race that I think the discipline is the key identifier to being decent at health.

    I tried a little bit of fasting during Covid with skipping breakfast and lunch except for black coffee but didn't really see any benefits, so stopped doing that. Dropped weight later on while eating normally.

    Yesterday I did the opposite of fasting traveling back home from Europe. Pretty sure I cleared 10K calories due to all the available good food in airline lounges (and a couple of decent options onboard). Omelette stations, fresh crepes, desserts galore ugh dammit.

    I've done some fasting (church things) and what I've observed is that it seems to be a tool that helps you DEVELOP discipline vs. a tool that helps your body be healthier. I'd say that I have a great ability to be disciplined in controlling what food goes into my body because I practiced a discipline of fasting. Just building a muscle over time.

    My cousin lost like 150lbs just walking and only eating dinner. My dad lost around 80lbs just eating dinner. I know he wasn’t exercising. It works for some people.

    For my first marriage, fasting meant just getting it done with quickly.

    3 minute man.

    If I was a type 2 diabetic and could reset my pancreas by fasting, I'd stop eating for as long as it took to accomplish. But fasting won't rest my pancreas and eating is my second favorite thing in the world, so fuck that shit.

    At the beginning of last September, I completed a 7-day water-only fast.

    One week later I had a CT scan of my abdomen.

    Notwithstanding the Feces issue, the Radiologist was shocked at how "clean" and "healthy" the rest of my system looked, especially vs previous CT results.

    Fasting has value because the body - counterintuitively - fortifies itself. Part of that process is the body consuming its own dead, dying, diseased cells.

    Will do again 10/10.

    If the Throbber wasn't such a sugar addicted pussy, I'd be down for a 3 dayer.

    As long as I can have my coffee, I think I'd be ok.
