Okay.
Yeah.
Ooh, long fasts.
So I will call myself out here as well.
I used to believe that this was the key.
And this was when I was in my skinny fat Sophia era, when I was in my exorcist Emily era, where I thought that the more you could fast,
the less calories you could take in and you could lose weight.
You want to make sure that you have total sufficient calories.
You don't want to overconsume calories, but you also don't want to underconsume them either.
But fasting doesn't actually teach you how to eat when you are not fasting, right?
So I think that a lot of people overly rely on long fasts.
So when I say long, I would say 20 hours, 24 hours, 36, 72, like these really multi-day fasts.
If I
start eating a lot less calories than let's say you do, I'm going to have over the long term more detrimental effects than you might.
Why?
The female body is just more sensitive to whether nutrients are coming in or not so that we can figure out whether or not we want to direct our energy to, you know, being able to get pregnant that month.
Our ovaries, when we sort of look at the density of the mitochondria in them, it's something like 100,000 mitochondria per oocyte, like per cell.
So they're constantly scanning the environment to see whether it's safe for a woman to get pregnant.
And so if you are fasting all the time, you run the risk of sending a signal that it's not safe, that these are famine conditions and that you should not be producing an egg because that would be terrible.
Because if you got pregnant, there's not enough food to feed you or the baby.
