Fasted every other day for coming up to nine months now. Why? It offers quick weight loss, benefits my health in other ways, and I enjoy it.

With a healthy attitude towards food and the right mindset, there's nothing wrong with fasting. The people claiming that it's mentally unhealthy to fast or whatever clearly don't have this, but each to their own. I've already deleted one account on here as I got bullied over the unhealthiness of alternate day fasting as…

Stuff like this is kind of why I deleted my old account and now just use MFP to log. No offense to the helpful people, but if you know what you're doing and don't need help after a while it gets a bit much. And I'm a very private person.
