I have a friend that swears by it. I don't care enough to try it, but some people rave about it. I know that Terry Crews is a big proponent, and he's jacked, so...

Cat, I think you and I think of something different when we first hear the word 'fasting.' This one doesn't involve prayer and extra time at church :D.

I've done it off and on for a few years now.  Did it consistently for about 2 months a few years ago and got really lean, but I didn't get enough calories in during that time and crashed pretty dang hard.  I'll still use it every now and then when I over-indulge.

No doubt, as if the suffering from no food needs to be worst! 

I'm sure not a fan of not eating. Unless I'm making millions off my looks, I'm not going to actually starve myself.

I heard a comedian talking about doing it on the radio the other day.  He said by day 4 your senses become really heightened.  He said he could hear someone dropping a coin a 100 yds away.  I can't imagine ever doing it.

I've fasted for religious reasons before but never really understood what all was involved. I really thought it was impossible, but it's really quite simple.

I'm actually learning to. I have a surge of energy and a mental acuity I forgot was capable without adderall. I'm at 67.5 hours and I'm no more hungry now than I am in any other day. 

Is 67.5 hours considered intermittent?

I fast everyday. Usually from 10pm to 1pm.

Calories have nothing to do with it, same with weight loss in general. It's a hormonal thing, not caloric.

It is because I change it up. This is my longest fast to date. My goal is 72 hours but I may well go to 96 or further. Once I hit 72 I'll re-evaluate and go from there. Autophagy is my goal.

Dr. Jason Fung said it best. You aren't starving yourself since it's controlled and voluntary. 

I got to almost 400 lbs, can't imagine anyone likes food more than me. If I can do it, anyone can. 

The list of benefits is ridiculous and the list of risks is empty for the average person. We weren't created to eat every day, much less three times a day. Had we been we never would have survived as a species.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
