Calories eaten - calories burned - calories excreted

Untreated diabetics pee sugar. Insulin causes cells to absorb sugar from the blood. You can lower insulin levels by minimizing sugar and carbs (which break down to sugar)

I eat once a day before bed, basically just a bowl of beans with dark vegetables, and hot sauce or salad dressing
Remind me not to go out to eat with you. :P

Should be fine as long as you don't end up in bed together.

Or light a match. ;)
DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

Have you tried kidney or garbanzo beans (hummus). No sacrifice of flavor and no gas. Just takes time to re-wire the brain away from unhealthy foods you're raised on.

With all this talk about how great and painless fasting is, I just had to point out today's top story on Brietbart, the headline of which reads, "'Westworld' star Evan Rachel Woods endures 24-hour hunger strike to protest border enforcement."

Good for Evan Rachel. She'll lose 12 ounces, her blood sugar will drop a bit and she will wake up prepared to write her battle memoirs. Then, hopefully she will eat a steak.

For those doing IF...here's a practical problem I would like some thoughts on.

Normally I prefer skipping dinner and doing breakfast and lunch...but socially this is very hard to do on weekends. Any thoughts on transition strategies going into Friday and going back on my preferred schedule Monday morning?

I wish I had something good for you, but every time I have breakfast on the weekends I end up at a huge surplus. Every. Time.

Couldn't you just skip breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, or move it back to around noon if you prefer breakfast foods? And then maybe move your breakfast and lunch on Monday back say a couple hours if you want?
