Every now and again, I think about fasting. But I never get past the hungry part. lol. There is a stomach biome specialist, on the anti vax side. Sorry I don't have her info handy.

You could try skipping just one or two meals to start. I find it hard to do long fasts but often skip breakfast and/or lunch and just eat dinner (though I still have milk coffees... so slightly cheating). My understanding is that shorter fasts still have some of the benefits, while not being quite as hard on the willpower!

Yeah, I don't miss too many meals, that's for certain. Thanks for your suggestion TB.

I saw this old Swedish fellow. He says if he weighs too much on the scale, he fasts until the weight is off. Or in his own words, "Habits not will power" - https://youtu.be/GUiFOhft_4M

I missed that on the white board the first time.
