When I’m doing IF correctly, the other IF stops.

Ever wonder where the term fasting originated?

Once there was a Tribe That Had Much (TTHM) and wanted more. They thought they could just take it from the Tribe That Had Little (TTHL), who were protected by the Tribe That Had Very Much (TTHVM).

TTHVM became busy and could not protect the TTHL anymore. TTHM saw it’s chance and went to war with TTHL.

On the eve of battle, the TTHM ate more and drank themselves into a stupor, while the TTHL had little or nothing to eat and drank their water frequently.

As the two tribes fought in the morning, initially the battle was evenly matched, but eventually the TTHL could maneuver easier and eventually won because they were just faster.

The TTHL became known as the fast people and fasting was what they did to survive and protect themselves.

Okay, a good story based on my true experience.

My friend, Terry, and I would meet for happy hour after work frequently to discuss our businesses. One evening, I decided to just drink coffee and water, while Terry would have his usual alcoholic drinks. We both exchange ideas & thoughts steadily as we both progressed in drinking our respective drinks.

Eventually, my conversation picked up speed and clarity, I thought, while my friend’s speaking slowed and slurred and became incoherent. I forget how long we were there, however, I did need to drive him home that night.

That moment and visual has stayed with me for most of my adult life.

I became a faster in that moment.

“IF means more IF.”

I think that’s more than I need to know.

How ironic that we evolved as primates to where we are at because our ancestors learned to cook.

How even more ironic that our solution to our current health issues may be to revert to raw foods.

I thought I was getting hungry and I started to imagine of what I could eat.

It turns out that my feet were just cold.

I put on socks on my feet, and my hunger went away.

I’ll have to remember to do that the next time that I get hungry or start to imagine hunger.

At a presentation of surrealist art, the presenter mentioned that the artists would search for different ways to obtain an altered state of consciousness or to tap into their subconscious.

One of those altered states would be fasting for many days.

Not much more was said about that and I could understand the possibility of fasting allowing a creative mood to happen. Fasting was better than the alternatives that was mentioned.

Taping into that creativity would be interesting and fun.

Now, I have to figure out what shape or form that art would be?

I may start doing the PAGAN diet.

Apparently, it’s a combination of the PAleo & veGAN diets.
