My gf this morning, after she tried scrambled eggs and cheese for the first time, told me that she needs to not scramble them in olive oil next time, because frying it up "adds carbs". I said babe there are...

Do you continue or discontinue your anti depressants while fasting? I know this depends on everyone’s personal preference and severity of mental health. But I just want to hear some peoples views on it. Thanks
I read [this article](https://idmprogram.com/how-much-protein-is-excessive/) regarding protein and here Dr Fung says that eating less protein helps with preventing loose skin which is desirable for me, but I have a couple questions here. 1. He says: "For a standard 70-kg male this...
For those that do omad … What time is your meal and what’s an example of a typical meal ? Thanks !

I know that the human body uses carbohydrates to create energy, but it can also use proteins, and therefore I don't understand if a person can live fine without carbs?
