It’s interesting seeing scars and stuff get lighter, smooth out, or shrink. Last DF I had two HUGE bruises that were there for weeks disappear in 4 days. To me it’s visual proof of the healing power and there’s tons more going on cellularly that you can’t see. Super cool stuff.
Personally I have trouble permanently losing weight with DF but I think it’s probably one of the healthiest lifestyle aspects I have I think.
the knowing that i can survive absolutely without anything besides air for three weeks or more. i never worry about food or water no matter where i go. food and water are long term necessities not a reason to panic if i missed my lunch.
