It's really good to intermittent fast though (a big component of almost every world religion) It puts your body into ketosis, ramps up autophagy and will actually cause the production of more HGH in the body. You stop feeling hungry after day 2 and actually have MORE energy though the fast.

It's not about losing weight, it cleanses the body like nothing else.

Hmmm, getting in ketosis from intermittent fasting... gonna need a citation

Sure thing

I mean, if you're eating keto, then sure, but eating normal, X to doubt.

@DaddyPaddy - FL Yeah, sorry bro, I'm gonna have to decline you THIS TIME. I like IE and all, but I'm not quite ready to die for the cause lol

Okay, yeah, exactly, *on keto*

Ketosis begins when you burn off all glycogen reserves, fasting accomplishes this.

@DaddyPaddy - FL You're talking to me about fasting, and I'm here daydreaming about biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, etc

Keto diet is just one without carbs, therefor deplete of glycogen. Fasting accomplishes the same task of a ketogenic diet.

I had chicken and biscuits tonight.. drool..

Anyways I gotta hit the hay gents, you all have a good night

Keto worked pretty well for me

I did gain back water weight after I finished keto, but it's been a few months since I finished and I'm still down like 10 pounds

@DaddyPaddy - FL Be well my white brother ha ha

And I was only on keto for like 3 months

Lol, it seems like <#481597551272001546> always evolves in keto diet discussions once it hits late night

LOL it does!

At least everyone in IE knows to hit up Jacob for dieting advice ha ha

I'm glad it took this turn. My appetite and stomach have decreased after being sick the past two weeks so I'm becoming a little more comfortable with what is effectively already fasting.

Did someone say Olympic lifting?

I'm always craving fatty southern food. Maybe it's my huwhite heritage, but more likely it's because I don't get much of it here in California. There's almost no southern dining at all

My search for a Cracker Barrel continues

I’m gonna say it... Cracker Barrel breakfast isn’t that great.

fatty food is fine as long as it isn't coupled with carbs

Please don’t kick me out of IE

which Southern food generally is, I assume

I actually don't think I've ever been to Cracker Barrel

It looks really good though

Cracker Barrel is good if you have it like 2 times a year

Too many more times than that and you will quickly grow sick of it (IMO).

If there's hashbrowns, if there's biscuits n' gravy, it's good in my book

eh I don't think I get tired of stuff that fast

fatty food is great, don't @ me

I'm a college student who lives alone so I'm used to poor people food

As far as cheap shit food, Waffle House is actually not that bad haha

saturated fats are healthy, don't @ me

right now I'm eating a staple of mine, instant ramen that I dumped whatever was in my cabinet at the time in

a true chef I see
