What's wrong with eating when you're hungry?
I don't think you have some weird condition - if you're hungry, eat.  Smile

Well, I do have a lot of anxiety. Idk if I would say I really know what real depression is, sometimes I feel trapped in negative thinking that makes me feel dead inside, but that's not all the time. I'd say I can clearly say that I know I have anxiety though.

Yeah but I know how much food to eat so I don't gain weight, and when I eat more than that I gain weight. So if I were to just eat whenever I feel like eating, I would just pack on tons and tons of weight. I know this because it's happened before, and then I have to go through losing it again. I've done this twice in my life now, gain a bunch of weight and then lose it and get thin.

@ OP Q.  Because your decision-making apparatus evolved for/when food wasn't always available.

Hence the benefits of fasting.

There are no benefits to fasting. We starve ourselves for the exact same non-reasons that we become gluttons. Our minds aren't truth-telling machines, and lacking or possessing the knowledge of "x" doesn't have the ability to help us overcome it's many flaws and ticks. We know, for example, that neither stuffing our faces nor abstaining from food have any benefit whatsoever. We still do both. Yu;re not solving some problem by fasting, you're indulging in the same problem in a different direction.

Thanks for the input, though.

Actually, some preliminary evidence suggests potential health benefits of intermittent fasting, including slowing of the aging process...

however-

1. Most of the research at this point is animal research not human, so not generalizable (and nowhere near strong enough to be making/changing official recommendations)

2. Many of the benefits (ex: weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular health) can be achieved via traditional weight loss methods, so the harshness of fasting is hardly necessary.

3. (A question) Is living an extra year or so really worth cyclical starvation?

From a quality of life stand point, I don't see how it could ever be practical, realistic, or frankly, worth it as a life style. As a dietitian, I would never recommend it to anyone. As a person who enjoys eating everyday, I would never recommend it to anyone, lol.

Hey Science, what do you think about this guy's bald assertion?

https://authoritynutrition.com/10-health...t-fasting/
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern where you cycle between periods of eating and fasting.
Numerous studies show that it can have powerful benefits for your body and brain.
Here are 10 evidence-based health benefits of intermittent fasting....

Does Intermittent Fasting Have Benefits? Science Suggests Yes

https://news.usc.edu/63669/fasting-trigg...ne-system/
In the first evidence of a natural intervention triggering stem cell-based regeneration of an organ or system, a study in the June 5 issue of the Cell Stem Cell shows that cycles of prolonged fasting not only protect against immune system damage — a major side effect of chemotherapy — but also induce immune system regeneration, shifting stem cells from a dormant state to a state of self-renewal.

Now, now, Ark. I've told you before, authority nutrition is not an official, reputable source. It has some good resources and links to original research but you certainly shouldn't be citing its conclusions as an "authority" on anything.
