Unsustainable
Bunch of Jerks
Yeah honestly I don’t really care about whether the eating pattern matters at all (wasn’t doing it for health reasons anyway, just a bonus), all the ketosis stuff has a ton of conflicting studies but there might be something to it. But it is blatantly clear that if I don’t eat two days a week I’m eating 5/7ths of my previous calories (ok, fine, ~6/7ths, I eat like a madman the day after, stomach ache be damned). Humans tend toward extremes, and simply not eating once or twice a week and then living your life the other days is easier (for many) than permanently changing your behavior 7 days a week.
so far the 16/8 has been my norm, trying an extended fast today. My wife has done the best with one meal a day or 40/8 fasts.
