It was so easy not to eat for one day that I am embarrassed that I am writing a three part post on the subject. \n\n\nJust got back from watching \u2018La La Land\u2019 with my partner. I won\u2019t spoil the ending except to say that it was a most excellent and enjoyable romantic musical.\n\n\nNow I have done some reading on Caloric Restriction before (specifically CRON by Peter Voss) in the past. And hey,<br> I am 45 now so it\u2019s time to do something. But I hesitate to start CRON because well\u2026 I fucking love chocolate.\n\n\nI just don\u2019t see myself as a person who will be able to do this right. It\u2019s possible,<br> I guess,<br> if I took small steps. Cut down sugar bit by bit. It\u2019s possible that I will one day love piles and piles of steamed broccoli. And sour my face at the outrageous sweetness of Coca-Cola. \n\n\nBut Intermittent Fasting seems to actually need less discipline. I am not saying that it works. I mean I can eat a lot of calories to catch up over the next couple of days after a fast. But who knows,<br> maybe the act of fasting is similar in psychology than the act of exercise\u2026 meaning that because you did something \u2018good\u2019 that you will pressure yourself into eating a tad bit more sensibly because you don\u2019t want to erase that good. Shrug.\n \n",<br>"json_metadata":" \"app\":\"busy\/1.0.0\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\",<br>\"tags\":[\"longevity\",<br>\"transhumanism\",<br>\"fasting\",<br>\"buildfreedom\",<br>\"life\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/img.steemconnect.com\/freedomengineer\/f2336277.jpg\" " |
