One Meal A Day intermittent fasting on a constant basis might just make you a bit “uninhibited,” no matter the age.

Elon?

So if I start fasting, I’ll have the hots for Minnie Mouse?

At my age, I don’t dare test this theory.

I’m very suspicious of the idea that there is any animal model for the human that can be used in every respect; especially when human psychology is involved.

That’s baloney. Act like a man.

You’re better to eat a giant meal, something like a Tony Soprano size bowl of spaghetti, chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes and gravy, or maybe a giant steak with a loaded baked potato and Texas toast. Wash it all down with copious amounts of beer.
Stay up really late before heading into the boudoir. Before you do take a dip in the hot tub with the object of your affection to lower the man’s blood pressure super low, and so you are both nice and squeaky clean like Adam and Eve.
Hit yourself with a load of Viagra that would stop the heart of a rhinoceros.

Then give the maiden your best... and fall into a deep restful sleep/coma.

Lots of sex requires lots of food, eggs are good for sex refueling.

I’ve been an intermittent and extended faster for 6 years now. Anytime I shed a few pounds of the fat I’ve been storing for decades, there is definitely a “hey baby” effect.

My PCP says it’s because the fat stores a lot of hormones that are then released into the wild. Fun times.

I’ve been doing fasting from 6 pm on Sunday until 6 pm on Thursday. Water only.

On Monday I want to eat badly.

On Tuesday hunger starts to go away.

On Wednesday on I have little if no appetite.

I usually don’t remember my dreams but on Wednesday night I start to. I don’t need to sleep much and my energy and mental acuity really spike.

On Thursday I’m not hungry and I feel like I can go without food forever. I’ve basically been a page at a glance reader since 2nd grade. In fact, I have had a reading addiction all my life. That gets worse during a fast but I like it.

During all of this I am doing cardio for 45 minutes a day and free weights for 2 hours a day. I’m basically one big muscle, my arms are very big and it’s not unusual for a female to grab my bicep randomly if I’m in a bar. As far as libido things are in order, most Saturdays are what I call “cousins night” when a couple of friends visit. Wink wink — nod nod.

Females usually think that I’m 45-50 and I am, 20 years ago. Lol. Best time of my life right now, especially seeing the crooks and thieves getting theirs and knowing that that insect Kamala isn’t stealing the country into the ground.

Long live the alpha males! Go Trump! Go Musk!

It also stores a lot of fat-soluble environmental toxins that get released into the wild when you fast, too.

I have been dabbling in water/intermittent fasting for... a few years. I always do pretty well then just all of sudden forget I am supposed to be fasting for a few months. Just started an alternate-day fasting schedule yesterday. Just skipping one day of eating has me feeling a lot better.

Regular old air with N, CO2 and O plus other traces at 700 ft above sea level seems to do it for me.

Since they’re fasting, do they then kill and eat their partner after they have sex like a female praying mantis might do?

Rumor has it, this theory was the original theme for John Steinbeck’s short story “ Of Mice and Men”, but the idea was too farfetched for any publisher to accept his manuscript. So, John changed the story completely, keeping nothing but the title. ////(sarc)

LOL. My Mama told me that one, substituting a man for a mouse, many many moons ago. I took it to heart and landed me a keeper.

Well, i suppose if you are hungry enough, you will eat just about anything.
