How's best to transition to intermittent fasting?

Original post in this thread

I was wondering how people have transitioned to intermittent fasting, and also how to handle supplementation when doing it? Also, does it change which supplements you should take?

Thanks for the detailed response, makes sense. I actually a few years ago started forcing myself to eat breakfast because of some things I’d read about studies saying how not eating breakfast tend a to lead to binge eating junk food at night. I never personally had the urge to eat breakfast before, but now it has become my normal. I’ve been considering intermittent fasting as a way to deal with evening eating “issues” as I can only eat so much in one sitting, but have been worried about it being distracting to transition, especially during the day while I’m trying to work. How long did it take you to get to where you are now?

I mean, you could consider what I do binge eating. I have to fit all my daily calories into an hour. That means I eat a lot in a short period. That's technically a binge, but it works. Think about how we were before large scale farming. We would have to hunt throughout the day to get our meals. So in a fasted state, our bodies made us more alert and sharper. This is so we could more easily hunt and catch our food. Then once we ate we calmed down and could sleep. We didn't wake up and make bacon and eggs 30 min after getting out of bed. It's ludicrous. We had to work for our food, and our bodies evolved to account for that. Now that we don't have to work for our food, we eat even more! It's why everyone is so fat! I was fat for a while during my depression. I lost 100 pounds in one year when I came out of it. It was a lot of hard work, but was not complicated.

Everyone over-complicates shit. If you want to lose weight, eat less. Period. That's it. No mystery. Weight is lost by eating less calories than you burn. You lose weight in the kitchen. You gain health in the gym. We as humans like to complicate things to justify why we were in a certain position. That's our ego. Our ego makes things way more complicated than it has to be, because it is "protecting" us from having to face the reality of the situation. People that have experienced ego death can attest to the fact that you look at things differently afterwards. Justifications don't matter as much anymore. You realize how superficial and fake our justifications are. These complexities are a human construct. We have the power to destroy them just as much as we have the power to create them. Once you realize that, the path forward becomes a whole hell of a lot simpler. That's not to take away from how difficult the journey there can be. It's not easy. It's just not complicated.
