They Say Fasting is Too Stressful
There is a school of thought that says a fasting weight loss path is too stressful. Why would anyone ever do it? People cite scientific studies that show cortisol impacts and suggest that even reinforces that view. What do you think? For me I find fasting to be the opposite of stressful. It is freedom from having to constantly consume. Freedom from the fear that if I miss even one little meal that something bad is going to happen in my body. It is strength and confidence. What is stressful to me is trying to lose weight while always having to eat more all the time. That is a stress-inducing paradigm beyond measure. But that is my view. Come share your's and feel free to disagree! :) Sincerely, -Phil Zimmermann, MD Unravel Type 2 Diabetes Naturally: https://www.drzmethod.com Fasting Space is recorded Live on YouTube, Join me weekdays!: https://www.youtube.com/@SimpleFasting/streams Referenced in this discussion: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9940638/pdf/fnut-10-1078508.pdf https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8419605/pdf/enm-2021-405.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpF7O2Rr-Fk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i7gI1dY2aU +++ Simple Fasting Advisors S.C. and Simple Fasting, LLC own and manage the information on this social media platform.
