I say this as someone who used to do a lot of fasting over a decade ago…

Early studies did show some potential health benefits with fasting…

However, follow-up studies that compared people who fasted to people who consumed the same amount of calories but didn’t fast showed that the “benefits” of fasting could all be attributed to eating less calories and losing a little bit of weight….

You are going to be much better off long term by just building good dietary habits vs. trying to occasionally starve yourself.

Also I know someone is going to comment and say “what about autophagy.”

What about it?

Increase autophagy is not a health outcome, nor doest it lead to any positive health outcomes….

Maximizing autohpahy = starvation and death….

Not an ideal outcome.

It’s a good idea to get your information from actual nutrition professionals and ignore all of these influencers jumping on the bandwagon for the next pointless sensational health fad.

Reading this made me sick, but I’m also not that surprised.

Every man who uploaded a video to this site or talked about assaulting their partner on here should be prosecuted…

The sad thing is men have been doing this type of stuff to women for ages they have just been getting away with it.

Now the internet is exposing it and when men no longer control women via finances, laws, societal structures they don’t have to put up with it anymore.

This is a large part of the reason men are becoming more lonely.

MOST women have at least one traumatic negative experience involving a man…

“Not all men” of course but there are enough that are either engaging in or complicit to this vile behavior to make us all seem like a threat…

If you are a a man in most circumstances women are going to view you as unsafe until proven otherwise…and that’s OUR fault collectively.

If we want this to change, we have to hold other men accountable.

I saw a lot of women post on this and very few men. If you are a man who cares about women, I encourage you to speak out with whatever platform you have.

We can’t leave women on their own to defend themselves FROM US.

Heathy lifestyle habits are so much more enjoyable and sustainable when you do them because you want to take care of your body and appreciate what it can do vs. trying to make it look a certain way.

If you eat more energy than your body uses in a day you will gain weight.

If you eat less energy than your body uses, you will lose weight.

This is how it works.

The challenge is learning:
1) How much your body needs.
2) How much you’re eating.

And making sure those two things are in alignment. This is where things can get complicated.

Comment “energy” below if you want me to send you a podcast where I break this topic down in detail and a link to a guide where I teach you how to calculate your energy and macronutrient needs.
