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.

      Brindamour said this isn't the time of the year for making changes and therefore expect Nikishin to be a healthy scratch til at least two defenceman get injured. Yes I said two because ya don't make changes and there other guys on the roster who've played with the group in games.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.
