I submitted that link to MDA myself. What can I say...I thought it was important, and I haven't seen that perspective explained in many other places. :-/<br /><br />As for your doc, yeah, good to know he was alert, but that's a pretty scary overreaction! Glad you're all right. It's interesting what exercise does to us in the short term, versus long. Technically, it's "damaging," right? It tears us up. Acutely, it takes its toll. It's in the healing and recovering from the damage that we get stronger and healthier. And it's funny about the fasting -- back in the day (whenever that officially was), fasting was routinely "prescribed" as therapy! (That's sort of how the ketogenic diet was discovered...ancient docs took notice that seizures stopped when patients fasted. Wasn't long before they made the connection to carbohydrates, specifically.) I hope some of what you said about IF made sense to him/her.Amy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08471580967464668110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-20472823900532230922014-11-15T20:57:15.781-05:002014-11-15T20:57:15.781-05:00Yes, eating regular meals is so indoctrinated in o...Yes, eating regular meals is so indoctrinated in our society. I went to see my new young family doctor, and when I mentioned that I occasionally skip meals and do mini-fasts, the first comment was "you shouldn't do that!". The kid inside me, wanted to pout and say "your not the boss of me", but instead we had a small chat about the benefits of intermittent fasting. On a side note about blood levels, I learned that its probably not best to try an intro to Crossfit (after being mostly an office slug / less intense exercise person, for many years), then doing a blood test not long after when the muscles are sore and healing. Leads to a young doctor seeing things in the tests results that one is on a critical path to kidney failure or a heart attack, and a directive to go to emergency right away. The emergency staff were not amused about a false alarm, then again neither was I. : (, but its nice to know the doctor cared. : ) Congrats on the reference to one of your posts my Mark Sisson, the recognition of your efforts is growing.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-45910939158445428682014-11-13T09:04:48.551-05:002014-11-13T09:04:48.551-05:00HA! *Exactly.* Love it!

I agree that the notion of 3 meals plus 2 ...Hi Amy,<br />I agree that the notion of 3 meals plus 2 snacks per day is ridiculous - just couldn't fit it in, and I often pretend that I'm hungry 6 hours after lunch (actually my breakfast) just so that I can finish eating dinner at least 3 hours before bedtime. I also have the "problem" of wanting to eat all day if I have breakfast soon after getting out of bed. Only today at my "outdoor fitness" class, the trainer reminded us to get our 3 meals plus 2 snacks in; and get a good meal into us as soon as you get home from training (cripes we exercise out tongues more than our bodies).....I just bite my tongue and think..."well, I'll have nothing until breakfast in about 3 hours time" He is going to give us some information sheets on nutrition - wow, can't wait!! Why am I the only one who doesn't get light headed after pushups; why am I the only one who doesn't have to sit down after a 5 minute circuit? Why is it that I'm by far the slimest (ie least fat) and most toned, and I'm the only one who dares eat saturated fat...by the bucket load! Oh, that's right - I've got high metabolism (but hold on, you just told me that skipping meals and snacks tanks your metabolism); oh well in that case it must be your genes.....Must stop rambling. Thanks for your post. RosemaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
