Luna - 06 Feb 2005 00:18 GMT Aha. Hmm. This is what happens when you don't eat all day whilst doing physical labor. Wooooo . . . interesting. Whycome it's so easy to not eat, to not even be the slightest bit hungry, when I'm using up calories and actually need food, yet if I sit on my a.s all day I just want to eatandeatandeat? Whoever made my body be like that, I'm going to write a complaint letter.
Anyway, I actually don't feel bad, I feel really good. Just in a weird way. I've been painting my room in our new house, from 9am to 5pm. No water there yet, so every time I have to pee I have to come back to the current house, and every time I do that I bring two more boxes of books back with me to the new house. And, then, after painting, I helped my friend move one of our couches to his apartment, because we're getting newer old stuff. So, that's why I'm tired and loopy. :o)

So, that's why I'm tired and loopy. :o) Tommorow set your alarm for 3 times. When the alarms go off , have breakfast, lunch and then dinner. You probably feel tired and loopy because you are not eating and your blood sugar is way down. I get really cranky when my blood sugar is low when I haven't eaten for several hours. I have noticed by being on the BFL plan that I don't feel those blood sugar highs and lows anymore because now I eat at certain regular times every day.
*Not eating* is not good for your body or your brain just as eating too much is not good either.

Alarms won't work in the house, since there is no electricity yet. Hence the non-stop painting while it's light out. I do take breaks to come home and pee and drink water, but I'm really in a hurry to get this done, and I did eat dinner. People actually fast for many days you know, without ill effects. I'll be fine. :o)

Xtile - 06 Feb 2005 23:08 GMT > *Not eating* is not good for your body or your brain > just as eating too much is not good either. I disagree. Not eating allows your body to fast and rid itself of toxins. Constantly eating never gives your digestive system a rest.

I think fasting for a couple of days can be good mentally, and probably harmless physically, but the "toxins" theory reeks of BS, imo. Your body continually rids itself of toxins, through your breath, sweat, urine, etc no matter what you do.

JC Der Koenig - 07 Feb 2005 04:09 GMT The only toxin that the body doesn't rid itself of, without your help, is that terrible toxin of excess stored fat.
And some heavy metals, of course.

They say though that if your body isn't busy digesting food, it has more time to get rid of the crap (no pun intended)

"They" say that magnets and crystals can cure pain, but I don't believe that either.

JC Der Koenig - 07 Feb 2005 15:57 GMT They are low carb indeed. But over consumption may make it difficult to drive in any direction but north. You will, however, be able to accurately tell time without a watch.
I'm lonely and crave attention. Please ignore me.

Or at least one.
Or something.

Well, that's (the crystal group) a different set of wackos :)
When animals are sick, they don't eat. Same with kids, if you don't force them to eat when they are sick, they won't. Could be that they are reserving their energy from the digestion process and giving it to the healing process. That idea isn't that wacko!
We are trained so well in the west to constantly have something in our stomach that we will do whatever we can to deny even the slightest possibility that it might be good once in awhile to go hungry. Took me a long time to get used to hunger, now I can actually enjoy it, in the right circumstances. Luckily I have the income to eat whatever and whenever I want to.

This isn't normal life, this is frantically trying to get my room and the house ready so we can move in next weekend. I have noticed though, that when I have a few days of very light eating, either from being busy or being sick, that my appetite stays lower for at least a few weeks.

Or if I got hired to be a carpenter or painter on one of those home makeover shows where they build a house in a week or redo a room in a day . . .
If we're just talking about not eating for a couple of days, I could plan to do that every once in a while. I've been accidentally doing it about two to four days a month this winter, but mostly from illness. If we're talking about a day full of physical activity, say working out at the gym for 6 to 8 hours . . . well, I'd rather take longer to lose the weight and be able to use my weekends for other things. I already have a pattern of not eating much on the weekends because that's when I do my projects, they're just usually not such physically demanding projects.

Work out a plan to train yourself to eat less. You'll learn that hunger won't increase without bound. One way is to eat a dinner with a high precentage of fat and protein (don't pig out), and then fast the next day (don't eat until the second morning after). Eat normally once you restart.
Maybe you need to work up to it, though.

Or if I >>got hired to be a carpenter or painter on one of those home makeover [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Maybe you need to work up to it, though. For the last week or so I have been following Warrior Diet again, JC reminded me about it. Nothing but water til around 10, then I have a coconut water (fresh coconuts) and later have some raw almonds (like, a handful eaten slowly). I have a piece of fruit here and there (and when I say a piece, it is like three bites worth). Get my hour of exercise around 5:30 or so, and then have my dinner, Warrior/CAD style......green salad, followed by steamed veggie and then protein....no urge to eat after a nice meal like that. Read a couple hours, or play the piano. Sleep early....I find I need more sleep when I'm not jacked up on so much food. Pounds are soaring off, I am alert, and life is fine. Really, even with the coconut water and fruit, I'm still eating pretty low carb, can't be more than 75 or so grams a day of carbs (from berries, fruit and veggies).
JC Der Koenig - 06 Feb 2005 15:32 GMT Two days a week would help quite a bit.

The busier I am, the less hungry I get, which should be the opposite if I really needed fuel. Granted, by dinner time last night I was suddenly pretty freakin' hungry, but I ate my two crab legs, my broccoli, and my avacado half and I was fine. Didn't go overboard, didn't have any late night cravings.

FOB - 06 Feb 2005 17:39 GMT I also think adrenalin is an appetite supressant, when you're all hyped up you just don't feel hunger.
