The struggle is worse the older you get.

    Fasting is a real thing

    Ramadan

    Lent

    And just straight up fasting or intermittent fasting

    Its been a thing for over 1000 years

    And that was voluntary… humans can survive for months without food provided they got fat enough.

    It’s healthy too. Just dont, if youre pregnant, a child, under nourished, under weight, sick etc etc

    And during a fast… feel bad? Just eat

      Well voluntary is a stretch. When you look at the timing it is usually done when food was getting scarce in, or after winter.

      I once didn’t eat for 14 days. Honestly it wasn’t that bad.
