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.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
