The thread title "Hunger is a good thing" is stupid. Hunger sucks. Ask As long it is not a growling stomach, I like it. It is very refreshing. |

I could just as easily have said if aliens came down and solved our problems with superior technology, Or the cats? The roommate I had in California always said first thing in the morning that the aliens were invading or the cats were taking over the world. |

The question is, how do I match up my mind, body, and reality? C'mon, Zoul, you have been studying Usenet, nutrition etc for a long time now. You can come up with general parameters to work from and specific parameters if you tried. Generally, if you don't eat for a month, that would be "bad". Work back from there.

Ok, what about two weeks? Not good. One week? Well, debatable. So we have this down to 7 days. How much did you eat before fasting? A ton? A little? Factor that in. You count cals, carbs. Add them up. What do you believe you must have to sustain a healthy life. As much as you had to intake during weight maintenance? If so, why fast? You had a number. But now you are challenging that number, aren't you. So take up the challenge. Divide your weight maintenance numbers in half. Will you die? Suffer a malady? Of course not in any short term. So do it. See what happens. Learn from it. will you, in your present stat of solid mental health, allow yourself to go so far that it will undo you? Little chance. You have food all around you. Here is where your body may not lie to you; preservation instincts. you will eat when it is necessary to survive but I doubt you will get that far. :: Are you in ketosis?

Still, there are issues that are hard to put in place. How, far does one go before worry about muscle loss. What if the fasting triggers more eating -- it might be counterproductive. :: ::::: Are you in ketosis? :: :: On Tue, 24 Aug 2004 11:26:31 -0400, Roger Zoul wrote: :: ::: Don't know, don't care. :: :: Ought to. Much of low carb can be about ketosis and exercise in the :: ketonic state is a learning curve in and of itself. there is not much reason to concern oneself with that, imo. if I'm been LCing all week and I know I'm going to ride 65 miles on Saturday, then I know I'm low on glycogen and I won't be able to push very hard on the bike. So I get some carbs. of course, I can tell my state of glycogen storage quite easily by looking and daily weight changes. |
