1. Less Is More
Our culture is very keen on promoting bigger = better.
Well, when it comes to food and consumption in general, that's a mistake.
Less is not always better.
But less than what we currently consume is USUALLY better, 90% of the time.

2. Even Good Things Should Be Limited
This honestly applies to everything.
If you have too much of any one thing, it becomes problematic eventually.
Whether that's pizza, scrolling IG, a girlfriend, women in general, & even things like training & water consumption.
Because.

3. Consuming Requires Energy
Whether that's consuming (and digesting) food.
Or consuming porn.
Or consuming shit TV.
All of it requires energy, and therefore REDUCES energy levels.
Fasting removes all the energy-sucking that these activities do.

4. Most Pain Is NOT Real
You THINK you're hungry.
But a genuinely starving man in Africa would think this is a joke.
You THINK you're anxious.
But a father of 6 who's having his town bombed would tell you otherwise.
Most pain we face can be squashed by the right mindset.

5. You Appreciate Things After Time Away
Eating pizza all day every day would get boring eventually.
I know you think it wouldn't, but trust me it would.
But after a month off?
Pizza would taste RIDICULOUSLY good.
Same principle applies to food in general:

Same principle applies to food in general:
If you've just eaten a large meal, that steak isn't all that appealing.
But after an 18 hour fast?
It's the nicest food you've ever tasted.
The "time off" principle applies to ALL relationships, the town/city you live in, your job, everything.

6. Undoing Negative Behaviours Takes Time
Anyone who's undertaken the IF lifestyle knows that bad habits don't disappear immediately.
They tend to fade away after months of attacking them & winning the "daily battles".
But taking a week to fast from them speeds up the process.

7. People Don't Like What They Don't Understand
When you start a new way of eating, people around you tend to object.
Sometimes because they don't want to "lose you"
Sometimes because they're crabs in a bucket
A lot of the time they just don't understand it
So:

So:
Whenever you begin a new goal/project that other people aren't doing themselves, expect resistance, and proceed to ignore it.
Most people aren't there to help you.
You have to help yourself.
