I think we've normalized disordered eating a little too much, people are way too comfortable promoting fasting/not eating as part of a normal regimen (even religious fasters are supposed to be mindful of their health when doing so). Any sort of extreme restriction on calories (<1200 for women <1500 for men) or on major macronutrient groups has the potential to do real damage to your body and shouldn't be undertaken without medical support and necessity. Fasting and diets like keto can put serious strain on the heart especially, and also deprive the brain of necessary energy.

[trigger warning for disordered eating]Yeah I work in tech and a guy I worked with started intermittent fasting. Literally within a week he was telling us that he went from 8 hours of fasting to 16, and soon after that he was telling us "I've been fasting for 48 hours! :)". I'm generally a coward for confrontation but I couldn't help but say "oh.... that sounds like an eating disorder." He only knew about bulimia and when I described anorexia it did surprise him that the thing I was describing was what his "diet" was

I'm glad you talked to him. I think diet culture has really warped our idea of what's healthy and what's not.

I don't think it changed his behavior at that point (he got a new job soon after that but I did see him around for a while) but I hope it at least gave him a seed of doubt that it was a good thing to do

I haven’t eaten anything all day since I had my coffee and drank Mio energy today, wasn’t feeling really too hungry anyways. about to cook some jasmine rice alone for now. Wasn’t feeling like cooking chicken or add ramen in. Plus I’m Asian asf so this is almost as if one meal in a day (similarly a variation of the K Pop Diet) was sufficient to me in my physical body. Literally to the point that my stomach got smaller that I cannot consume a whole pizza in one sitting anymore. Plus I don’t fuck with liquid diet food. Like, i only can eat such hearty meaty pho with extra noodles and drink its broth as an exception, and I strongly prefer my spicy ramen bowls all dry all my life. So either way I gotta be moving lol. It’s what it is for me in my everyday life

I wish I was better at getting my ass out of bed in the morning. I don’t start work until 9:30 and I keep trying to convince myself to get up at 8 but that bitch won’t listen!

Screaming because this morning I texted my sister around 5am (me already at work lol) and she texted back around 9 something without responding to what I said “5:30am is crazzzyyyy” 😂😂😂

the only thing that has worked for me is getting a dog! I now get out of bed before 8 bc I don't want dogshit in my house lol

I don't eat a meal until 10 am and don't anything after my dinner at 5. I find I just sleep better on an empty stomach. I do get in 2 full meals and snacks tho. Not eating at all is not something I can do cause I get very cranky and I'm generally not a pleasant person when hungry.

I had no idea Usher was a crunchy granola mom.

But okay, girl.

I bet he is into letting the sun into his anus, too.

Also, he is very mindful about mindfulness and remembering to breathe.
