    but I wouldn’t say there’s suffering.

    I’ve done intermittent fasting and it doesn’t feel amazing.

      With IM I don’t really get to that energetic sweet spot.

      It’s more like 24h+ into the fast than in the 16-20 range.

      That’s when you’re still somewhat hungry.

      Cooking after some 30 hours of fasting is amazing. Everything smells fucking amazing and makes you salivate. People go in for healthy diets usually I think but I just feast.

      One time made this amazing deer bolognese sauce, simmered it for ages. Spaghetti, fresh parmeesian (hehe) and a salad of nice fresh tomatoes and some other goodies. A nice beer on top of that.

      Mmmm-mmmm-mmm.

      Got to do that at home though, since usually that slaps the digestive tract awake and I have to run to the bathroom.
