Kamaswami, the merchant: "Yes indeed. And what is it now what you've got to give? What is it that you've learned, what you're able to do?" Siddhartha: "I can think. I can wait. I can fast." Kamaswami: "That's everything?" Siddhartha: "I believe, that's everything!" Kamaswami: "And what's the use of that? For example, the fasting-- what is it good for?" Siddhartha: "It is very good, sir. When a person has nothing to eat, fasting is the smartest thing he could do. When, for example, Siddhartha hadn't learned to fast, he would have to accept any kind of service before this day is up, whether it may be with you or wherever, because hunger would force him to do so. But like this, Siddhartha can wait calmly, he knows no impatience, he knows no emergency, for a long time he can allow hunger to besiege him and can laugh about it. This, sir, is what fasting is good for."
I am very interested in the application of fasting in your situation - I have seen hunger tear people apart because they will eat whatever they can get immediately upon finding it. As someone who has experimented with fasting, I appreciate reading about your experience and the discipline it takes to engage in that!
Yes it takes some discipline but it goes with a whole lot of knowledge and experience. If I didn't know about fasting it would have been difficult to discipline myself, even though I found out about fasting after I started experiencing the hunger. So the three of them work together.
So when I bumped into ketosis which encourages restricting of carbohydrates; I learned that after about three days you stop feeling hunger pangs and I remembered experiencing reduced hunger and increasing strengths, not too much but a kind of continual energy and not the type that gets exhausted easily.
So when I continued the study I saw how carbohydrates gives you energy (by increasing glucose) but insulin rises in your body and reduces the increased sugars in the blood which is harmful, then your energy plummets, you get tired and the hunger cycle restarts.
I talked about being a health freak in my other post so I know about nourishment of the body and other 'good diets', (most diets are good but it's the application that us usually faulty). So from my own general nutrition knowledge I see carbohydrates as foods that should be taken when the individual is about to undertake an energy sapping task that will last four a short time about 30 to 45mins. Apart from that they will just stop your body from burning fat for energy and the sugars they produce will further be stored as fats since the body will try to get them our of your blood if there is no burst of activity to utilize them.
Not to digress too much, the point is if a person doesn't eat food (or restricts carbohydrates), the first two days will be hellish, but after that the body goes to the store of fats for energy and these are plentiful and they burn slowly and your energy will be sustained all day for some days depending on how much fat your body has, making you to no longer have hunger pangs, but to sustain it for a loner time frame you'll need to be eating more fat and less carbohydrates. This is where the keto diet comes in.
And hey thanks for the book link, I think I've come across it before when browsing about religions or something like that. And also for the mention to the ninja guy👺, I'll look them up further have to sleep now it's 4am. Thanks again.
Im not great at obeying 🕊
But generally if its the first time you can use it whenever.
And this is the first time I got to understand you Byn! I don't know you but I understand a bit more about your situation.

I haven't had a chance to respond fully until now - I have been thinking about this, ever since I read Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse.
Here is a quote from the book
