haha, eat ze fleisch

yes, fasting is great stuff, but i think from my experience of it so far, it is about resetting systems and finding a better order, not a thing in itself

like, i did 3 days no caffeine, and now i can just do one in the morning and that's enough... i think dialing down to 1 is more practical than total abstinence

you have to maintain performance continuity in your work, and these extreme practices tend to disrupt your rhythm utterly

start by managing a whole day of no food, only fluids, you'll get to longer durations... at 3 days ketosis starts up, which has a very good effect on your organs and metabolism, everything starts eating itself and that helps clean out the stuff that was broken

with me, that's all been great, but the biggest problem i have that is very central is electrolytes, and essentially, the most pervasive, and inhibitory health problem i have right now, and it seems to simply be potassium deficiency

don't get confused by thinking that something that has a specific use is some kind of ideal... fasting is very useful, and i think at least 3 day fasts are a baseline you should try to get to, but start with one day fasts first

i personally used to do one day fasts because of depression, for years... probably helped my health a lot... but not that problem
