RE: I Quit Eating for 28 Days [Water Fast] : Day 8 (Focus)
I still eat more than once a day because I'm pretty much locked up to my work for 8 hours every day, with an hour lunch break in between (and I don't want to spend my off work with only eating). Though my core lunch always consists of beans and peanuts which don't cause such "food coma" like consuming carbs does, so it works fine for me. But whenever I'm not working I start eating after 4 PM.
That's a pretty good schedule as is! Roman soldiers actually did something similar where, during the daytime, day only lightly snack on nuts and berries and have a full meal in the night.
Though beans are still carbs in nature, it's important to distinguish that beans are low glycemix index, by which means they are digested much slower than say, wheat or barley, and of course much much slower than sugars. So that's pretty good!
That's about right! I intend to revert to a 1 meal a day at around 6-7pm (or whenever work is done) to then have my meal. This fast has really shown me that hunger in of itself is something that is absolutely over-glorified.
If I were to have to for some reason, stop eating for 24 hours abruptly, that would call for a shrug of the shoulder and an oh well.
I like being in that position. It's a postion of immutable strength that no one can take away.
That's pretty much how I roll on weekdays.
Yup, for some reason we think we are already dying just by skipping a few meals even though the feeling of hunger is based on hormone(s) - especially on Grhelin, like you said - not in the scarcity of available energy.
