It depends. If you eat frequently, regardless of how much you eat, you're going to feel hungry relatively soon at any given point. So, eating at a deficit just amplifies that. It's hard to ignore.

However, I'm a big fan of fasting (though I haven't been very consistent with it lately). Once my body eventually gets used to not eating multiple times per day and instead, say, eating one big meal once per day, I don't feel hungry at all until dinner time.

Even if you do eat at a reasonable deficit, and your daily meal is healthy/has enough fiber/protein, it's way more likely to satiate you.

Not really related to the post, but if I'm doing OMAD (one meal a day) consistently, fasting also makes me feel great. I get a noticeable increase in energy and mental clarity.

Me too. That just sounds even more exhausting than my life already is

In the future, I suggest reading a page's description and rules before posting. The information is there for a reason, after all.

We dont want to marry a 304.

Plenty of "304"s ARE married. Sorry to disappoint.

a pandemic of single females

This is so funny to me, because single women are overall happier than married women, and for very good reasons.

This is far from being a pandemic. It's a liberation... from shitty men like you, who insist that they're the prize, simply because they are men. This has been a looooonnnggg time coming.

Nah, it's cute on her

Not needing to eat would definitely be a huge strength.

Of course not needing to eat would be a strength. There's a significant difference between that and what I said, though. Not eating when you need to is not the same as not needing to eat at all. There is no choice but to eat if you are to survive, just as there is no choice but to cry when you need to in order to be mentally and emotionally well.

Crying IS the mental breakdown. It's what you do when you need someone else's help because you can't do it yourself(weakness).

I strongly disagree. Crying is only a release of emotion on its own. Just because someone is crying doesn't inherently mean that they're having a mental breakdown.

I'm a crier. It's extremely fucking annoying, but nevertheless a part of me. I weep when I'm sad, stressed, pissed off. On occasion, I even shed happy tears.

Am I having a mental breakdown when I cry while watching a sad movie? When I'm justifiably angry about an injustice in the world or my personal life? Definitely not.

I've experienced more than my fair share of real mental breakdowns, but that number is dwarfed by the number of times I've cried.

A The problem here is that people prey on you when they see that weakness, and a civilized society should not do this.

While that's true, it doesn't change the fact that we need an emotional outlet to be well. Those emotions will be there whether or not you release them when you feel the need to.

If you try to suppress them, you're more likely to be incapacitated by them—even physically—if they eventually become too much to handle. It's just postponing a smaller weakness for a larger one later on.

Sure. Though you could argue that needing food, water, and sleep is a sign of weakness, too.

Simply existing automatically comes with these "weaknesses", so I don't see the point in assigning them with a negative value, as your perspective seems to. I doubt many people would claim that not drinking water is a sign of strength. Why should crying be any different?

Now, having a mental breakdown because you haven't allowed yourself to feel your emotions, though? Or lashing out at others because you haven't learned how to regulate yourself? Now, that's about as emotionally and mentally weak as you can get.

I'm sorry. That's so shitty. I really don't get women who are like that. The ability to express emotion (in a healthy way) is one of the most attractive traits one can have, imo.

My AMAB (and non-binary, though they didnt realize that until like 9 years into our relationship) partner has cried in front of me COUNTLESS times. Because they're a fucking human being who has feelings. It's really not hard to understand if you take even just one moment to empathize.

"Everything happens for a reason ."

No. Fuck no, and fuck you. I DARE you to say that to the faces of the endless innocent people—many of whom are CHILDREN—who have been murdered, tortured, abused, enslaved, raped, ect.

What does being in a calorie deficit feel like?

Here is one. Why do people find it more acceptable to act like they do online but not in person. Is it truly because you’re not face to face or is it really because at your core that’s the real you.

I am curious how a request for help because my generator was infiltrated and I’m being harassed is grounds for post removal. Nothing says “hey welcome to our community” like “we also don’t care”

TIL it’s the right of women of all ages to go topless wherever men can in the states of Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas and Oklahoma, including all their cities.

So much love

Can you draw Vin Diesel from memory (and post the result in the thread)?

What's a phrase you hear a lot, but disagree with?
