On June 16, join a one-day international solidarity fast led by #CombatantsforPeace and an Israeli-Palestinian coalition in the region:

Fast for Freedom: A Joint Day of #Fasting for Gaza #EndGazaStarvation

This fast is not directed at political leaders, but to the people - to Gazans and to the hostages. It is a way to say and embody:

“We see you. We will not look away. We unite our thoughts, hearts, bodies, and actions with you. We will not stop until you are safe and free.”

@Likewise Great advice ! I am down that road too: low carb chocoholic (now moving on to cocoa nibs) with 6 hours of feed window 5 days a week.

I am 58 years old and insulin resistant. The above nutritional changes plus 40 min of strenght/cardio training every other day, have given me a new lease on life.

My own two bits: walnuts, pecanas, macadamias and avocado provide a lot of healty fats and Omega3/6 balance. When taken at the end of the feeding window, they make the 18 hr fast a piece of... err meatpie 🙄 !

I also make my own cannabinoid extracts. Non psychotropic ones such as cannabinol CBN (main CB2 receptor agonist) and CBD from flower (no hemp) help regulate blood sugar, stabilize mood and protect my liver, spleen colon and pancreas.

Gladly surprised to find your testimony as health does not seem to be a priority for mastodon people...

A few photos from today's walk! The Wayerhauser building was looking especially pretty today.

#Fasting today, which always makes my walks feel distinctly *different.* Part of that is mild hunger, weakness that's more psychosomatic than actually real. Part is a perceived lightness, as though I could run faster and jump higher. I find myself taking slower steps in contrast to that feeling, deeper breaths.

Evening #run 🏃‍♂️

That’s confirmed. I’d rather have the heat and the #hills than run after sixteen hours #fasting. Loving the intermittent fasting (two weeks in) and I’m #sleeping so much better, but #running first thing in the morning when you haven’t eaten since 2pm the previous day is just dumb (imho). So from today I’m swapping around, #yoga in the morning before breakfast …

A #CradleCatholic. A #LapsedCatholic? As a wee lad, I did all the stuff - Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation. I was born here all my life. When I was around four years old, the church kicked out my mom and, by extension, my family. An #ExcludedCatholic? I explored other practices and faiths, #meditation, #yoga, #Buddhism, and all the things. I wanted to not convert to a religion or practice that I had not been born to or wasn't otherwise ancestrally connected. I explored Protestant fellowships but soon began seeking "the deeper things" back in the lives of saints. This led to a deep dive into the #EarlyChurch Fathers and early #ChurchHistory. Entering the #OrthodoxChurch, I lived in several monasteries and wandered around the US like the guy in Way of a Pilgrim. I was ultimately drawn to #Theosis and the #PrayerOfTheHeart, sometimes called the #JesusPrayer. That church became tedious as well. Long story short, decades later, a pandemic, and a few ends of the world here I am. I recently stumbled across a podcast called the #PopeFrancisGeneration. I'm intrigued. I am listening. Let's see where my current studies lead.
