Good Litmus Test for Fat Sympathy So recently I've started on a 16:8 daily fasting schedule (meaning I only eat between the hours of noon and 8:00 pm). Not doing it for weight loss, but instead for autophagy and digestive benefits.  (Plus as a side note, black coffee is allowed and no breakfast + black coffee leads to super productive mornings). Telling people about how much I like the intermittent fasting has been a great way to tell if people are:  A) Fat sympathizers  B) Soon to be fats Its amazing how many "Oh, but how do you survive without breakfast"s or "Oh my god, if I miss a meal my blood sugar gets super low"s I've gotten in response.  Like, ffs, if you can't miss one meal you need to reevaluate your relationship to food. And oh no your blood sugahs are low?! That's the point you insulin resistant moron! This has gotten rambley, but the point is - its not fat people responding this way. Its normals who seem horrified by going 16 hours without food. My only conclusion is that they will leave the ranks of the human in time.
