Me apparently LOL. On day 2 now and taking suggestions for better TV programming to survive the next few days.
I do similar stuff like that, not while fasting though. I have followed a strict ketogenic diet for the past two plus years. I make a list all year of foods I cannot eat on the diet. I keep it posted at my desk at work and add too it through the year. I will whittle it down to 10-14 items in December and then I take one week off of Keto and treat myself to all of the dirty processed food and treats for a end of year celebration. Then back on.
Last night I streamed Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart’s Halloween baking competition then proceeded to watch 4 episodes of Fresh Fried & Crispy. I also like to scroll through Pinterest and Tik Tok to find a killer recipe for my next meal. Works great for me while doing rolling 72’s and 48’s.
I smoke weed and watch cooking shows purposefully in the beginning two to three days because jumping those mental disciplinary hoops allows for further fasting and insane mental fortitude after when it comes to eating what’s right for you. This is what I’ve found to be true for myself, it has its torturous moments but I find the payoff worth it.
I love watching food videos while fasting. It doesn’t seem to make me less likely to succeed either. But food just looks so much more amazing. It makes the videos really enjoyable.
I also have amazing dreams about eating.
