Is it the overconsumption of calories? Or is it that fast food is t very nutritionally dense. Also if I overate healthy food would I still feel bad afterwards?
When I go out and buy a burger. Which part of it is unhealthy? I’m trying to learn the basics of what’s good and bad for health. The bread - I guess it’s better if it’s whole grain The meat...

I’m not a huge breakfast eater, but what’s everybody’s go-to breakfast item at the major national US fast food chains? Something healthy-ish? Edit: not really looking for an every day meal, just for those days when I don’t have time to...
Basically just wondering if there’s much difference between eating some shitty frozen chicken strips and oven chips from Tesco or something vs nuggets and fries from McDonald’s, in terms of the additives and all that stuff.

I read something ridiculous like 88% of people are not having their 5 a day. I've always had more by habit so I'm wondering how YOU would encourage people to start eating more vegetables? I feel like a lot of people...
Has anyone had any success with this? I’ve started going to the gym as of today, and been doing straight 24 hour IF and CICO by carefully measuring everything I eat once a day. If I don’t see a calorie...

I have been consistently doing rolling 48s for January. Yesterday I broke my 72 hr fast with some KFC that I really wanted (I literally had a dream about eating it). Aaaand it wasn't nearly as tasty/good as I imagined,...
Every time I go on a prolonged fast, I can’t help but notice all the people trying to sell me food. There are McDonald’s ads on YouTube, as well as KFC, Dominos, and Woolworths. These companies get a direct line...
I've (47f, 150 lbs at 5'6) stopped the fast food and beer consumption cold turkey. I'm eating keto meals (which are pretty filling and yummy) and thinking of doing the 8/16 or 6/18. Moderate exercise. Is a 7 lbs goal...
I'm currently fasting from food and I'm curious how much water I should I be drinking? What are people's thoughts on this?
I'm still figuring things out as I go. Online literature says to be careful when breaking a prolonged fast (anything longer than 72 hours). Start with broth and cooked veggies, work your way back to normal food. Avoid heavy greasy...
Is there such a thing as parasites for bad food choices ? Cause I consider myself mentally strong, did multiple 4,5, even 6 days dry fast, but I ALWAYS go back to eating dogshit food, I literally can't help myself, and...
Shower thoughts ... So many factors at play here. Fast food/junk food companies having more $$$ to influence policy-making. Lack of education for both parents and children. Not enough importance placed on health in schools. How would you realistically "solve"...
Almost 36 hours into my fast and I started craving taco bell like a pregnant woman. People were talking about it in my online group, saw a commerical, saw targeted online ads, and for like 2 hours its all I...

This sounds like a negative thing however I don't mean it in a bad way. I feel like I can never satisfy what I'm looking for. I can't really explain, nothing seems to hit the spot haha. Today I had loads...
I recently completed a 7 day water fast. Prior to that, I was doing basic IF for about 6-7 weeks. During that time, I began to notice a change in the foods that seemed appealing to me, and...
Or do u need a super clean diet on them?
Hi, so I’ve been doing IF for a few weeks now and prior to that had been easing my way into 16:8 by doing 12:12. This morning I ordered fast food breakfast hours before my eating window began and I...

In 2019, I stalked this page, envious of all the people who’ve tried, and successfully completed, intermittent fasting. Even seeing all the hope of people who were just starting out was making me envious. It got to the point where...
Not really about fasting per se but it must be related. Ever since I started fasting like 6 years ago I'm finding McDs food just tastes like garbage. Before that I must've gone to McDs 4 times a week, at least....

The longest water fast I have done was 3 days long and I did it over a year ago. This whole year I have been eating myself to death. Just constant eating out, junk food, fast food, high grease, dairy...
Is one day a week without food of any sort counterproductive for someone not fully grown yet? How about dry fasting? Bonus question: what about 2-4 day fasts for triggering autophagy and how often can this be done?
I get most people do well about packing and not having to eat out but what happens if you have to? What are good go to, for lack of a better word, fast food chains, to visit and what could you...
Hi team, Been trying OMAD again lately (glad that it no longer trigger gastric like how it used to), but I can't really manage to eat 1200 cals or more in just one meal. Maybe if I'm eating fast food that...

Hey! (f/26/5”6) I’ve been practicing IF for over a month with visible progress. Started at 150 pounds, dropped to 142 in 3 weeks. Problem is that I’ve developed BED as a result of past ED and binged (ate fast food in...

Hey, do you have tips on how to prevent binging after fasting?
Our bodies need salt. Salt was so in demand back in the day that people were paid their salaries in salt (hence where the term 'salaries' came from). Yes, part of this was to preserve food at the time but...

I have seen a lot of posts recently, understandably, from people who gained weight over the holidays after initially losing quite a bit through IF. This spoke to me. I lost quite a bit of weight last year doing OMAD and...
Obviously you shouldn't eat an absolute massive amount of food but would you still lose weight if you had maybe a normal sized dinner and then snacked on candy and other stuff during the eating window? I'm doing 20 hour...

Hi sub-red, Hope all well today. I'm really curious about this idea that the body has a preferred weight where it is comfortable, and that it will largely revert to that weight even after periods of weight gain or weight loss....
So I've fasted for 2-4 days before but my stomach is extra weak this time as I've been sick. Any advice? I'm thinking gradually introducing some sort of fruit juice and coconut water.
I did OMAD in 2017-18 and lost significant weight (~35 lbs). Then I went back to drinking, regained all that weight and did OMAD again in 2021 to drop all the weight once more. I stopped doing IF and stopped caring about...
