Look, it'll even out to 2000 calories per day over a long enough period, okay? We can drop 14k in one meal as long as we don't eat for a week afterwards. Trust me.

The reptile diet

I hate that I'm like this. I'm either forgetting to eat or slamming more food than the Rock on cheat day

I usually blame it on ADHD, but who knows?

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The kids on the weekends, each demanding a particular restaurant, making food stressful to me. I can go all day without eating if it means losing that stress. lol.

Leave them in the forest. Never go back. Let them live the wild life and learn how to get food themselves from nature.

It can work out. They might grow up to be Daryl Dixon.

Can confirm. Have ADHD and eat like this. Less eating when in meds though.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Some speculate this might be what we were evolutionary designed/breed for & it might keep some processes (cardiovascular, liver) "young" if the preceding stress doesn't have the contrary effect.

I'm particular our bodies are good at selecting the cells and organelles that are most damaged and decrepit to be broken down for material and fuel for the rest of the body. Makes sense they'd evolve to do that.

When you refeeding after a long fast, growth hormones are released that trigger replacement. So there's seem to be some rejuvenation and other benefits.

It's difficult to measure key parts of the process on a still living subject so we have to guess and extrapolate for humans. And other aspects aren't well explained or understood. So there's a lot of questionably reliable info and explanations, some of which are plausible. Like this!

I see, you beleive in drowning your plants once in a fortnight, and abbsolutely forgetting for the rest of time. I have heard it helps the roots get deeper.

This is basically how I treat my lawn and it stays green year round for free unlike my neighbor who spends $400 a month watering his monoculture bullshit.

Basically the only help I give my lawn is letting it grow for a month after the last freeze so the shit that survived last year's neglect can spread and put down roots.

Whole-grain cereal for breakfast, a bunch of fruit for lunch, …and a double whopper meal for dinner!

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yesterday, I ate two eggs for breakfast, water for lunch, and chow mein, kung pao chicken, broccoli beef, two nutri grain bars, twenty-seven gummy bears, and a small milkshake for dinner.

That night he had stomach-ache!

The next day was Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf, and after that he felt much better.

As a teacher I give this reply an A+.

What are they eating, a whipped cream sandwich?

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Clearly you have never experienced fried cheese curds on a veal parmesan sandwich with ranch dressing.

Ok, neither have I but where I live in Wisconsin I'm pretty sure I could get that within thirty minutes or less.

Also poutine on a bun.

Cheese in a can sandwich

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Glass of gasoline

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Might be? I saw some video not long ago about how those were trending on Japanese social media, but I don’t remember how old the video was.

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I’m guessing shaved lunch meat. Probably turkey or chicken.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

What, are you crazy!?

That totally a butter sandwich.

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Surprisingly, it’s kinda built for that.

The guy averages a cheesy gordita crunch a day...

...and he will go weeks without having one
