That’s the evolutionary theory behind polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). 10% of all women have it.
Starve a lot, eat a lot, expend minimal calories, rinse and repeat. As a bonus, we get hyperandrogenism and delayed fertility. Great for surviving scarcity, terrible for surviving the modern world.
We are still barely separated instinctually and evolutionarily from the pre agriculture era. Modern society just now happened on the scale of things and it takes thousands of years or more for the most minute of instinctual changes to occur. We are just apes with a modicum of self awareness, we still have the urge to hoard every resource out of a subconscious fear of starvation, we still wake up in the middle of the night because a part of us is still not sure there isn’t a bear about we need to check for. We have yet to develop modern instinct.
This seems like the natural way to do it. Before agriculture our meals weren’t guaranteed and we had fewer options for preservation so you might as well eat it all when you got the chance.
Bro 21572 calories is like a cup of zucchini
How big of a cup are you using?
I’m 51 and this is 100% still me. And yeah, I was hospitalized because of small intestine inflammation pushing into my pancreas about a year ago. I’m still on the diet roulette though, food is just really expensive and cooking from scratch is hard to always do when you’re cooking for 5-6 people with different dietary requirements. I’m getting ready to do a week fast. Apparently extended fasting releases stem cells beginning to be significant at around 42 hrs, but there are more benefits when you get beyond 72 hrs. I love reading about science validating ancient practices.
I like to edge my stomach as well. Got to get it all worked up for that big meal after just drinking coffee and energy drinks for two days.
yesterday was like an entire pizza and a half. Today I am drinking a cup of milk. It is 6PM.
I don’t know what happened to me yesterday. I usually have 2 eggs, a piece of sausage (maybe an extra half a piece depending on how the kids eat), and two pieces of toast. I can go without food the rest of the day on this.
Here lately I’ve cut that down to one egg so I can have dinner with the kids.
Yesterday I was still hungry so I made a grilled cheese sandwich. Then another. Then another. Then one more.
Didn’t even eat this morning.
I’m also underweight a bit.
I guess my body had had enough of too much of not enough.
I wish you the best… do vitamins appear? That seems so little for a full day…
I feel seen.
Beard, is that you?
Isn’t this just binge eating? I assumed I had a disorder.
Not necessarily. I’m pretty sure there’s more parts to binge eating than just eating a lot of food in a short period of time. More psychology involved such as struggling to control yourself/how much you eat, and likely involving overeating by a lot
But like, do read up on expert sources than just me
Intermittent fasting aka I can only afford every other meal.
Intermittent fasting aka intermittent overwhelm
Literally me :3
