    Look, it’ll even out to 2000 calories per day over a long enough period, okay? We can drop 14k in one meal as long as we don’t eat for a week afterwards. Trust me.

    Some speculate this might be what we were evolutionary designed/breed for & it might keep some processes (cardiovascular, liver) “young” if the preceding stress doesn’t have the contrary effect.

      I’m particular our bodies are good at selecting the cells and organelles that are most damaged and decrepit to be broken down for material and fuel for the rest of the body. Makes sense they’d evolve to do that.

      When you refeeding after a long fast, growth hormones are released that trigger replacement. So there’s seem to be some rejuvenation and other benefits.

      It’s difficult to measure key parts of the process on a still living subject so we have to guess and extrapolate for humans. And other aspects aren’t well explained or understood. So there’s a lot of questionably reliable info and explanations, some of which are plausible. Like this!

    I hate that I’m like this. I’m either forgetting to eat or slamming more food than the Rock on cheat day

        The kids on the weekends, each demanding a particular restaurant, making food stressful to me. I can go all day without eating if it means losing that stress. lol.

          Leave them in the forest. Never go back. Let them live the wild life and learn how to get food themselves from nature.

        That night he had stomach-ache!

        The next day was Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf, and after that he felt much better.

    I see, you beleive in drowning your plants once in a fortnight, and abbsolutely forgetting for the rest of time. I have heard it helps the roots get deeper.

      This is basically how I treat my lawn and it stays green year round for free unlike my neighbor who spends $400 a month watering his monoculture bullshit.

      Basically the only help I give my lawn is letting it grow for a month after the last freeze so the shit that survived last year’s neglect can spread and put down roots.
