If only it were that simple
You know when you’re not hungry? Eat an ice cream or 2.
Anyone can gain weight.
Are you specifically trying to just gain muscle? If so, eat lots of steak and potatoes and lift weights.
Skinny people stay skinny because they don’t eat.
This exposes how much popular misinformation there is about dietary science.
The fix to being skinny is never as simple as “eat more” in the same way the fix to being overweight is never as simple as “don’t eat.”
There are a whole bunch of psychological, physiological, and downright safety concerns that go into effectively dieting (yes if you just start starving yourself you can die). And on top of that, research has repeatedly demonstrated that fat/skinny shaming just makes people worse off than they were.
I encourage folks to have the openmindedness to understand that if things were really this easy, no one would have weight concerns.
It does boil down to eating more or less. It just might not be as easy to learn to do that
Do you have a source on starving yourself/fasting can cause you to die? I know that’s true for cats but never heard of it in humans, our bodies are designed to burn our fat reserves to create energy.
This guy fasted for a year but consumed some essentials.
I think if you consume nothing but water you will die at some point.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri's_fast
For 382 days ending on 30 June 1966, he consumed only vitamins, electrolytes, an unspecified amount of yeast (a source of all essential amino acids) and zero-calorie beverages such as tea, coffee, and sparkling water, although he occasionally consumed small amounts of milk and/or sugar with the beverages, especially during the final weeks of the fast.
VERY important to note that he did this while in close communication with a doctor, consuming vitamins and other essential nutrients. No one should try to do this alone.
Lmao, who downvoted this
