What did you last eat?!

[bèlla]

Nothing, besides drinking water. Exercising when I can.

I haven’t been in the mood to workout. It’s hot!

 

[MehGuy]

I know!

He’s hilarious. He does eating challenges.

Cool, I think I might have seen him on TV before.

I'll probably keep this one meal a day forever if I can. Probably been a good year since I've started it.

Not even inside in a nice air conditioned place?

 

[MehGuy]

Gonna finish those tacos tonight. They're so good. Despite not being able to taste food very well because of my lack of smell.. those tacos have a taste explosion. Probably the salt and cheese. Mmmm.

I used to eat once per day but the doctor told me to eat more. I didn’t feel hunger until noon. But I get up at 5. She said the gap was too wide.

No. The gym is closed and the beach is crowded.

Yeah that scares me.. like maybe this is hurting my body. There was a month or two where I ate a small lunch and a more medium dinner. The lunch is fine, but its just too tempting to overeat during dinner.

Yeah, especially during this pandemic. You don't want to work out in public. I just work out at home. Pushups and whatnot. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

 

[MehGuy]

I do wonder what a fast is like. Anyone have a personal record for that?

My stomach shrinks and I get full faster. I’m trying to work up to 3 meals.

I need motivation right now. He’ll tell me to do it and I’ll be back on my routine.

Shrinks if you only eat one meal a day? So you were underweight? Maybe I'll have to look at the side effects of this.. oh man.. lol.

3 meals? Probably been a good 20 years since I regularly ate 3 meals. Never been much of a breakfast person.

I used to fast often. 1-3 days and sunrise to sunset.

Yeah it can become pretty annoying. Although I found one thing that helps is not thinking about the exercise until you do it. I do not psyche myself out.

Doesn't it have some mental benefits as well?

My consumption is lower because I’m home. My protein intake was too low. My daughter just did a plant-based diet for 3 months and I was miserable! I felt sluggish and exhausted. I needed meat.

I’m not a breakfast person either. But I don’t sleep a lot and that messes with my metabolism.

I push myself in other areas. But you only have so much energy to expend. He enjoys it so I hand it over and focus on other things.

Mindfulness and emotional balance. I was calmer and more patient.

I can imagine. Human beings evolved to eat meat. Unless you are getting your B12 vitamins in pill form, it's also dangerous in the long term.

I liked eating cereal as a kid, but slowly milk started to become more and more intolerant with my stomach. How much sleep do you usually get?
