Life span increased because a lot of reasons, the main ones is the advent and progress of medicine. You like to mention that in 200 years the life span doubled. Don't you think that is odd that was just around that time frame that we discovered the first anesthesia and things like that?
A while ago you could die from stupid things, today we can take a lot, you can get 3rd degree burns in 80% of your body, lose your ability to breath through your nose, lose the ability to eat through your mouth, lose the ability to pee from your peepee, lose the ability to beat your own heart and still have high chances of recovery. think about it my friend. For most part of human history you could drop dead from eating a peanut.
The way we eat today has nothing to do with increased lifespan, in fact I can safely say that the reason of most of the disease we have nowadays is the way we eat!
Hello my friend @pellius, you are spot on in every thing you said
Being huge is far from being health. It is more of drug dependant and when you take the amount needed to be lets say 200lb 5% you will have to eat it to match up the dose.
But it is wise to remember that is competitive numbers, meaning that at least hgh comes into play, but usually gh+slin.
Even the average gym rat only on aas do not need to eat huge, that is why most of them are permabulkers.
They think that they can be bigger than a certain dose they are on simply by eating more, following the eating protocol of the guys that are on a certain drug protocol to match those calories.
For some reason they think they can get away with the same amount of food without the same amount of drugs.
I like to fast very close to what you mentioned that you do.
The best way to fast is in the morning, because you already wake up with a 6-8 hours bonus of fasting that you got from sleeping, that way it becomes easier to reach 14-16 hours.
But that is just a base from what I do. I try not to get my body used to any eating pattern because I have a huge believe that the body only better itself if it keeping guessing.
That is true for anything, I don't know why people don't apply this to eating. Like how do you make you muscles grow? can you do it with the exact same training, exact same poundages and exact same reps? I don't think so, we have to keep changing things, increasing load and decreasing reps, increasing reps and decreasing load, do explosive movements, do real concentrate and slow movements and so on...
So why in the hell people think tha the body will function his best when you always keep the same something so important like eating?
The most powerful thing we have beside the fasting is the ability to feel our body and feel hungry.
That meaning, most days I do 14-16 hours fasting, but there will be days that I will fell like eating like with only 10 hours, some days I feel I can do all day and do 24h, some days I feel like I have to eat the whole day.
I also like to eat whole foods, it also have a lot of impact on body composition. Don't believe a calorie is a calorie balonie.
If someone happens to be any weight they want but being 6%. First of all when one reaches this lean the first thing one may notice if not a complete idiot is that a calorie is not a calorie.
But even if you happen no to notice that and manage to get that lean... just try to stay with the same %bf and same lean muscle mass by changing your food choices to mainly processed ones, same calorie intake, in fact you can keep even the same makros, just replace it for 90% processed food and see what happens.
But there will be time that I also feel like eating any shit I want, and that is fine. Consistency is the key, what matters at the end of the day is what you did majority of the time.
The guys would be shocked to know how little food they have to eat.
That being said another thing to keep in mind, just think logically if we need little food in reality, where is it going all the excessive food that we eat? I mean not everyone is a fatfuck, some can get away in just being a little chubby.
Well, I got bad news, that converges to my first paragraphs in this post. The way we eat is the cause for a lot of the disease from today.
Even if you can get away with eating too much that does not mean that you are actually getting away with that.
Just think, instead of you eating little and putting your body constantly into fasting and making it use his energy stores and allowing it to clean itself you are constantly putting your body into the fed state, with nutrients and slin running and storing that shit. Even if it is not stored on your belly to everyone to see, you better believe that is being stored inside the arteries, organs, inside the muscles etc...
Not once in your entire life getting a chance of using that shit.
