I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, that's nothing like what I did.

Punishingly Intricate

mmmm I wish I had some deviled eggs right now!

I have found through obsessively tracking my nutritional intake without really having much of a dietary plan per se that if I eat less than about 1000 calories in a day I feel really bad by late afternoon or so - weak and tired and fuzzy-brained and ready to cry at the drop of a hat. So doing that on purpose two days a week sounds like a really bad idea to me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

A bunch of studies say that regular fasting/calorie restriction is good for your health. Problem is most people find fasting onerous so it's hard to maintain. But just as good is fasting 12 hours every day.

~t, that's what I meant by onerous. It's hard to do, tends to make you feel bad, etc. I can't imagine fasting on a regular basis.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Lisah, I am intrigued. I have ordered the book. I actually think this is something I could do, and, god knows, I have about 30 lbs hanging around that I would be happy to see go away.

Because books.

I have never met an egg I wouldn't eat, including the reconstituted ones in McMuffins. I love all eggs equally!

But my bacon must be extra crispy, verging on burned.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad you people just made me remember to hard-boil some more eggs.

If I clear that 1000 calorie threshold at all I'm fine, so maybe I should consider doing a slightly less restricted version? OTOH, I don't really care about my health all that much. I mean, I care specifically that I am not sick or injured right now and would vaguely like to continue that, but improving my health in a general way is not a priority for me.

Are you pickling eggs, too, Jesse?
