Fasting as 'an amazing way of life'.

[Frederick Foresight]

Keto is great if you can stomach broccoli. I, alas, cannot. After a week or two you actually have to force yourself to eat--you're simply not hungry as ketones are released. The more fat you have the easier the diet is to maintain. You just need to introduce green leafy shit which I generally refuse to eat w/o juicing.

I can't eat cruciferous vegetables because I have difficulty digesting them. My loss. But juicing leafy greens?! What about all that chewing satisfaction? It kinda/sorta contributes to feeling full, no? At least in part by slowing down the scarfing down process.

Every one is responsible for their own self control so I cannot answer that question. Also if you eat the right good carbs you are not really limiting yourself.

This is a problem many have so a general rule of thumb is to eat vegetables that grow above ground.

Yes, you're limiting yourself to smart choices that don't singularly do your body harm. Kind of like not putting sugar in your car's gas tank. (My answer to your all-or-nothing question. )

I meant limiting yourself in eating that you would want to binge because you are starving. When you eat the right keto mix including veggies you don't have cravings or strong hunger most days.

Maybe so, but you seem to have more binge episodes than I do. Whether this is just a personal quirk thing between you and me, or perhaps because I have more of a balance in my macronutrient intake which possibly better prevents me from overcompensation binges, is up for debate. Either way and overall, it seems we're both comfortable with our respective choices.

We have different goals, different body types, different digestive abilities in different foods, and different health backgrounds so comparisons would be futile.

You can eat as healthy as monk and then blowup with a pizza or Chipotle. Jesus, have a Cinnabon and you're out what, 1,100 calories? What you exclude from your diet is more important than what you include.

The average individual would lose 10% over the year if they dropped all fast food.

Fast day #3 begins tonight at 19:00 tonight (to 07:00 Friday).

Of course. My point was that perhaps balance helps with the excluding part.

I get it, but I don't see that it helps with cravings to eat a diet of high nutritional density. I am implying that nobody actually has a "taste" for broccoli. You eat it because it's all upside; micro, fiber, kcals (nutrient dense, low kcal).
