>fasting is powerful as fuckthis is the kind of exagerated statement that i am tired of. again, it most certainly has benefits, but it is not nearly as potent as it is claimed, because when it comes to health, nothing is. as for general well being, it is purely subjective.
>it's a good way to build willpower and discipline as wellsounds very puritanical laid out like that

i develop a pot belly when i gain weight
fat is distributed no where else on my body. it's kind of weird
i have been using intermittent fasting to get rid of it. i started like a week ago. 1/3 of my potbelly has gone away. i think i need to do intermittent fasting for much longer to get rid of it completely
when i get rid of my pot belly i am gonna intermittent fast less because i don't want to get too skinny. i'll do it once or twice every week

i noticed when i consistently overeat for days that i get so full of food it's like my insides are just packed full of shit that i cannot get rid of fast enough. like a perpetual bloat and constipation that feels awful. because of that i cannot really become fat quickly, i have to basically live off milk and bread and water or other simple foods for a few days to feel better. sleeping most of the day and fasting also helps. i dont know how the hell big fat people manage to not kill themselves from the discomfort

>>191501Speaking as someone diagnosed with CPTSD and Fibro. Fasting will only negatively reduce the energy you have to the point where you lose sight of the fact you even need to eat and just cave in and have your body essentially eat itself for you because you're too stubborn to pickup a sandwich. Perfectly reasonable it's just that in my opinion I think people should eat so….

>>191462I frequently fast 24 hours and sometimes even 40 hours. Initially I did it to lose weight, but I've had mental benefits from it as well. 40 hour fasts especially seem to energize me somehow and elevate my mood. Don't really know any of the supposed science behind, and I don't really care honestly. Also, a lot of grifter type characters out there trying to sell fasting as some kind of magic pill, don't really care for them either.

>>192209Low carb is expensive as fuck though. I read an article that said even the lowest cost low carb diet is 5-10x more expensive than the typical high carb high fat diet.
Though that's because we're used to paying nothing for food, since most people eat non-nutritious filler like white pasta, white bread, cheap oils and ready to eat TV meals, chips etc.
Being lean takes not just willpower but quite a bit of money. You can't just "not eat" or you will also lose what little muscle mass you have, adequate protein intake is very important.
The only good cheap source of protein I found was eggs, but I can't tolerate eating them many days in a row.
A proper low carb diet also has lots of fresh veggies, and some berries.
My grocery bill on low carb has so far been $150 for a week, back when I used to eat junk I could manage an entire month on 200 bucks.
