So this isn’t a post about dieting but about #facebook nazies.

I have decided to do #intermittentfasting. I’ve just finished #menopause which has been just ‘fun’ . I’ve put on the excess weight and I have to work out what to do. My parents, in their 80s, have done #it and it seems to work when you have terrible metabolism.

I joined #bodyfast, German, pretty good, did a sample a year ago and it kind of works for me.

Just for your info #IF is not about counting calories, they say it very clearly when you join don’t do it. It isn’t about stopping people eating what they like, they made that pretty clear.

So they tell me i SHOULD JOIN THEIR #FACEBOOK. I did. I hate Facebook and really should just shut it again. I opened it to sell furniture while moving to Perth.

So Facebook says share a photo I have taken and introduce myself, so I did.

I’m quite proud of this #christmascake it looks pretty good.

OMG the questions: why did you share this picture? Do you know how much sugar is in fruitcake. Long diatribe of how bad this is. What was I thinking?

So I left the group. Facebook asked why and I said I didn’t like the members.

Do you like my fruit cake?

About a year ago, my wife had to fast prior to a surgery, and I decided to fast in solidarity. It was noon before I ended up eating that day, but I managed it fine. I'd heard about intermittent fasting (or time-restricted eating) and the benefits it might have for weight management, and I decided that over the next few days, I'd see how well I'd manage on just a 10 or so hour food day.

I slept like a log last night before being woken up by Child #2 at 04:55. Then I went to the gym for a #deadlift workout, which is best in life. I pulled 130 kg (287#) for 12 reps @ RPE 9, for a 187 kg (413#) e1RM. (I know estimating from so many reps is bad!)

Still full of energy after walking the kids to school I ran a 27:15 5k, a 3.5 minute PB in my 40s (though I haven't run 5k in 6 weeks).

All before breaking my 16 hour #intermittentfasting fast. What a day!

Fasting provides amazing health benefits & longevity. It's our natural way of eating, since we didn't evolve on munching all the time, especially as adults. So human feeding should be as follows IMHO:

0-8 year old: meals multiple times a day

9-18: 3 times/day, snacking only if really necessary

19-35: 2 times/day, no snacks

36-to life: 2 times/day 4 days a week & 1 time/day 3 days a week (e.g. Mon-Wed-Fri), no snacks.

Today is the second day of my fast. I'm still not in ketosis, but the pangs have stopped so I'll keep it up another day.

I see why religious people fast. It's a cheap way to alter your consciousness; a little like shrooms. You start thinking differently; a little sharper.

I’m starving in the mornings and 11am can’t get here fast enough When will this get easier? A week? 2 weeks? #intermittentfasting #IF

Why does it seem like I'm seeing more articles claiming #IntermittentFasting is not good for you now suddenly? Is the food lobby starting to fund studies and spread propaganda? Or do we have actual new medical trials/studies coming out now that are contradicting the earlier work?

Finally back on the 18/6, but dang it’s rough. How do you guys go 6 hours without eating?

#IntermittentFasting has been going pretty well but it's nearly 10PM and my son just made cinnamon sugar toast on buttered brioche slices so I'm

Any tips for #IntermittentFasting?
This is the 3rd Sunday in a row that I've been trying it. First two times were a doddle - but today is kicking me!

Anyone else daft enough to try this?

Starting a new non-fosstodon.org profile for personal nonsense, in particular as part of my #fitness journey in advance of turning 40 in 2024. Focused on #powerlifting, #walking, and #erging for exercise and #keto and #intermittentfasting for weight loss.

#IntermittentFasting è solo un modo elegante per dire “ho saltato la cena”.
