I am still wondering:
- do you eat that liver/lobster and then decide to fast (8 figs is not much but carbs again)?
- do you eat that liver/lobster because you know that you plan to fast?
- why do you do better if you fast?
- why do you eat that much in the first place - isn't it ideal for you to eat a portion of meat&fat every day?
- what if you didn't drive to work and had a hard job?
- does your metabolism slow down when you fast or do you experience any form of detox?
If I don't eat then I have to rest; I am trying this again today (the last times I did feel very low the next day and when I ate meat and fat it made me feel real sick and I had to go to bed).
I am asking all this to understand what drives people to do what they do - why do we do what we do
?

1) I don't really "plan" to fast. It's just that I get various projects, here and there, so know when I'll be feeling less hungry than usual.
2) I don't detox during fasts as I don't eat the vast amounts of cooked c*** I ate in the past. I don't feel tired or have a lower metabolism(in fact I feel refreshed and have better concentration by far for my various projects, which is in line with Intermittent Fasting theory. It's only when I go in for long-term fasts that I feel very tired(and ravenously hungry).
3) I don't like rigid schedules, so I vary the amounts I eat, all the time. Eating the same amount of food-mix every day like Lex and other zero-carbers would be hellish and very boring for me. I like variety in all things when it comes to diet.
4) When I do a lot of physical activity, I tend to vary between eating very little and eating a lot - it all depends.
*Eating this much liver is pretty rare for me, by the way, I just wanted to finish it off*
