Fasting........

[Syncop8r]

I just need to qualify......yes, nothing fattens me up like potato, but at least I don't have an allergic reaction to it like all things bread........

What about sourdough?

Same effect I believe......if I've got right where it's used.

We have a colonial German past, much German heritage still around including the bread 

I was a bread connoisseur till the very end......Graubrot, Landsbrot......all the good stuff 

Curse you intestines, burn in Hades I say!

Guess I got it right https://sourdough.com/forum/graubrot

OK, I was just wondering since I have heard that sourdough is better for our gut and it is how bread used to be made (in a time when people didn't have problems with bread)... I need to read more about it....

[Gerhard Gerber]

I also wondered what changed, did people just eat muck less bread or has the grains used changed.....

Never got into it, I cheat very occasionally, and I mostly get away with it.

Recent exception was franchise pizza for lunch and a mid-afternoon cake & tea for my dad's birthday.........spare you the details but I paid for consuming all that flour.

A good, thin base pizza is a relatively risk free cheap......

a bit back on topic, i've been thinking to include a 36 hour fast every 2 weeks

Wish I had your willpower...

The best I can do is a 2 hour fast every 36 weeks!

I would rather concentrate on trying to eat the right foods than no food.

you can also eat as much as you do now or more, but limiting it to a time window every day (example, 14 hr fasting and 10 hr eating window) 

That is of course if you want to do it for any particular reason (improvement of blood lipids, better blood sugar control, diabetes/Alzheimer/CVD prevention, etc.) if not there is really no reason for it    not only losing weight is the goal of it, you can maintain or even gain on a fasting diet

I would rather concentrate on trying to eat the right foods than no food. 

so skeptical, but be aware that most people who do fasting in one or another way tend to have better and healthier food choices in their eating periods, 
and no one who advocates introducing fasting in your diet advocates eating junk food or unhealthy cr*p during the time you eat, for sure.

The idea is not to stop eating as you imly, but rather to eat during specific times and dedicate your time and effort to other things in between,
and also nourishing your body appropriately when it needs food, without excess or garbage calories and nutrients

well I am glad to hear that,
not that there's much to see because we won't post pics of how are we indulging ourselves in copious amount of delicious food, 
but rather the opposite, the thread would be to comment and post on our feelings and evolution during the search of the type of fasting that goes best with us, 

and hopefully the improvement of our condition(s) if we are trying this approach to eating because of health reasons (pre-diabetes, overweight, bad cholesterol levels, irregular blood sugar control, cancer and chronic pain being the most common reasons)

I was thinking of something like that.

If we have interested people, I'd propose starting on the second half of July (Monday 16 or whereabouts) so that we have time to empty/organise/improve our fridges and food pantry, our kitchens and our food stashes)  and plan our initial approach to this. 

Myself I'd like to start with a 2/7 day approach (fasting for two days every week, being them alternate days or 48hrs in a row) which has worked for me in the past and then hopefully transition into a 72hrs fast approach every week, one of the other popular fasting methods

Fasting to me in that case would be only non-caloric liquids and beverages in between feeding periods (I've been good so far fasting with black coffee, tea, water and nothing else)

I assumed it was spelled with two "i" s..

[RF52]

Haven't really thought about it, so maybe someday I'll try it.

How did you guess? 

[Ron Who]

I fast at least 8 hours every day.

I quit smoking every evening!
(And start again the next day).

But about fasting:

It is clear that we need to eat. We need fats, carbs, and proteins.
But there are good and bad examples of each.

Instead of low carb diets, try low sugar diets.
Eat less meat and more fish.
Eat as many fruits and veggies as you like.

And don´t eat junk food and ready-made meals that have way too much salt.

I´m 56 years old and healthy. My weight is just below 80kg. With a length of 1.80m my BMI is excellent.

Edit. I forgot this: don´t eat more calories than you can burn! Keep moving!
