  Eat one healthy meal a day , do exercise, take vitamin tabs and sleep well. &nbsp;<br>That&apos;s what I&apos;ve done and it&apos;s my 90th birthday next week. 😊

  Have you ever noticed when you go to bed hungry you wake up feeling fine, but go to bed after eating a giant meal and you wake up starving? &nbsp;🙂 🙂 🙂

  I listen to Dr. Fung - I have done a 30 day and a 21 day fast - lost almost 50 pounds and have kept it off a year later. I was completely fine. There is a lot of misinformation in this interview frankly. If you have fat for your body to eat then going beyond 10 days is not dangerous at all. It&apos;s common sense which is why I like Fung. You have excessive fat? Safe to fast. Not a lot of excessive fat? You don&apos;t need to do long term fasting. What is the difference between your body eating the excessive fat your body is already carrying or putting more fat in via your mouth? There is no difference. Here&apos;s the basic secret - if you have extra fat on your body let your body do the work and get out of the way. We overcomplicate all of this so much when the reality is our bodies know exactly what to do and you will be just fine. *Edit to add: beyond the first few days of your body adjusting to fasting you are not hangry or &quot;bitchy&quot; as this guy is saying. After a few days you feel more energetic and positive than you have ever felt. So much misinformation here.

  Im 66 years old. I gave up sugar, grains, ate organic grassfed &nbsp;meat and cream and organic vegetables and intermittent &nbsp;fasting. I feel like a different &nbsp;person. I have so much more energy, mental clarity, disappearing joint pain. Its insane!

  I grew up fasting as a kid when we were sick- we did it because we lived on a farm and thats what animals do when they&apos;re sick. And it makes sense- every symptom is the body saying &quot;don&apos;t eat please!&quot; (food tastes bland because your nose is congested, your throat is sore, etc. etc.) <br><br>I never had to take antibiotics once. And I rarely got sick. But when I was 14 I got Scarlet Fever and fasted for almost three weeks on just water. <br><br>Last year I had covid and fasted for 10 days (on just water). The beautiful thing is when you get to the end of being sick you feel like your body has cleaned up all the house keeping it hasn&apos;t gotten to do when you&apos;re normally eaten. <br><br>So when you fast when you get sick (which feels natural anyway) you can see that being sick is actually perhaps part of how we stay healthy in a larger sense.

  Jottings: <br>- Theme: Fasting <br>- Over-fasting (&gt; 10 days) not good. Thats starving or malnutrition. <br>- Fasting == go without (eating, digital, etc) that makes us stronger. <br>- Metabolic/dietary Fasting = does not increase insulin (Water + little pre-biotic fiber) <br>- Goals of fasting: <br> - healing gut, <br> - autophagy (little fat ok), <br> - more energy, <br> - lower inflammations (absence of toxins, ketone) <br>- Intermittent fasting: 16 hrs Fasting, 8 hrs eat anything!! <br>- Ketones: body burns fats and not sure, more energy than glucose, brain loves it, more clarity <br>- Fasting is a practice, start slow. Don&apos;t make it painful unless for spiritual reason. <br>- Spending energy heavily on: <br> - Fear: run away from kill <br> - Food: eat everything <br> - F*: going crazy <br>- Fasting is a way out of above spends.

  I agree! People think when they fast they will die. Being hungry can be more a psychological thing because I notice that I am more hungry when I think about it. And, if I am busy I can go for hours.
