Over 25 states would immediately find their state constitutional marriage amendments newly in force if Obergefell were overturned. Man, would that elicit screeching from the left.
I think you’re getting a little loosey-goosey with the term “fast.” Skipping a meal isn’t fasting. I see it as going a day or longer without food or nutrient-laden drinks. 24 hours.
What I’m saying is that if someone is anorexic and someone else asks them why they aren’t eating for consecutive meals they can just say “I’m on intermittent fasting,” and they can’t really be questioned on it in the midst of this craze.
No one really knows how many meals they’ve missed, just that they missed this one. It’s perfect cover.

Unfortunately for the weight loss hucksters, they canot make a dime out of a fasting regiment.
Sure they can. They'll try to convince you that there is a certain, "proven" WAY to fast that won't hurt you and that will give you real, sustainable results. Want to find out? Click on this link for a subscription pay wall.
I really appreciate all the information. I’m no expert on this particular diet, but I know that for me it’s not realistic and I could not remain true to it, which would completely defeat the purpose. I’m often faced with expedience in a working life, and more than occasionally have to eat whatever is available, which is almost always carbs and unhealthy fats of the “fast food” variety.
Living in ketosis is fine if you live a moderately active to sedentary lifestyle. But I’ve read from credible sources that it isn’t suitable for athletes and those who have to occasionally do power exertion or require bursts of energy. Keytones just can’t react as quickly as glucose in the blood.
That’s why distance runners almost always eat a meal of pasta or other starch before an event. It’s short term but effective energy. Ketosis is more on the slow-burn scale.
