[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 706681, member: 18958"] Every single thing I say needs to be taken with a grain of salt. I know myself: I jump on bandwagons uncritically. That needs to be stated right up front. I am like Lil. But the thing is this intermittent fasting makes me feel more stable, in equilibrium. I think my blood sugar must spike due to dietary reasons. What I said in an earlier post about recognizing that eating a small piece of salmon stabilized and satisfying my cravings, must be related to this. This is why the intermittent fasting seems to work psychologically better for me. I can just forget about food. (I mean, not really, but because I have chosen that it is out of the question, I seem to be letting it go--for right now, at least. As far as the smoking goes, M smokes. It is not likely that you would consider distancing yourself from Lil, nor she, with you, to conquer an addiction. So, I agree, it is extreme. At that point I was in my mid twenties. There was not much I could not change, so I did. I don't know what to say about the risks of intermittent fasting. I am just as preoccupied by the risks of fat. I am overweight, maybe 10 percent below the normal cut off. But even still, my cholesterol is sky high. And my self-esteem because of the overweight is low, which translates into every part of my life. Intermittent fasting is an age-old practice. Not just for the cavemen or for health reasons, but nearly every major religion incorporates some sort of fasting into ritual and practice. Without paying attention to it, all of us fast every day, really, when we breakfast, or break-fast. Intermittent fasting only extends that window to the extent we choose. A 16 hour fast, by not eating breakfast until 10 am and finishing dinner at 6 pm, appears to work for many people, both to restore health and lose weight. My grandmother ate like this her whole adult life and she never bat an eye. She did not see it as intermittent fasting, but it was. Now, I admit I am trying to be more extreme, because I want to jump start the process. This extremism seems part of my personality, but it is not necessary. I admit that. [/QUOTE]
