Meal prepping saves tons of time so I'm not sure what you mean.

How many calories did you eat during eating time?

cruiserhead

9/12/19 12:17am

1500/day. Doesn’t sound like much, but you’re not eating for that long.

You can't out exercise a bad diet

I never understand when people say this. I lose weight purely through exercise

You are unusual in that regard. Exercise increases calorie burn, but ultimately

This is probably correct.

Of course if you want to burn 3000 cals a day exercising.

Weight isnt the only factor in health.

Dzog

9/12/19 10:02am

was anyone arguing that?

whiteninja

9/12/19 10:08am

I thought so. Something about not being able to outrun a bad diet

Gotcha...

Intermittent fasting was a game changer for me.

What’s the difference between fasting long periods and anorexia?

D.T. Survivor

9/12/19 10:03am

The difference is that fasters eat plenty when they are not fasting.

dilbert

9/12/19 10:24am

K cuz fasting for several days sounds like a mental illness too

D.T. Survivor

9/12/19 10:36am

Haha, fair enough. I thought it was crazy when I first heard about, too.

I'm just giving you a hard time. It's is kind of a crazy concept but popular

Look I'm glad it worked for you but I just don't see this as a HEALTHY long..

whiteninja

There are many studies showing the health benefits of fasting, but I don't have the references with me.

dilbert

9/12/19 10:47am

Fasting is an amazing thing for the body. Going without food for 3 days...

whiteninja

I stand corrected...while not reliable sources I did find some articles on it..

whiteninja

9/12/19 6:28pm

A really good source on fasting is Dr. Jason Fung. He has a book on fasting, and also several YouTube videos.
