Circadian clock and transient period vs number of meals

[Aqua_chonk]

I simply remain uncomfortable with the notion that the focus of eating should be about the need to excrete toxins. I consider food to be a gift, a joy, a pleasure - and good food is a prerequisite to good health. Not something to be minimized in frequency in order to get rid of toxins.

My guess is that those spiritual-oriented monks are not carnivores - they’re eating plenty of (complex) carbs. As a result, their self-control in not eating more than once daily is more about asceticism, i.e., not a natural hormon-driven satiety.

Preach.

The logic is even simpler. First, how are you defining ‘toxins’? Second why are you eating them? In so far as a ketogenic way of eating emulates the way our ancestors ate for several million years, ingestion of ‘toxins’ - however defined - should be next to nil.

This.

don’t eat food with toxins in it.

And this.

But plenty of this. (sips toxins)

Or alternatively, don’t eat food with toxins in it.

Is it possible?

Not familiar with how people can grow crops on a large scale and keep the crops pests free without applying harmful chemicals.

Not sure if I want to trust products just because they are labeled “Organic”

Handling toxins is the job of my body

True

but we are not making it any easier on our bodies when we leave no choice for the body by stuffing our guts with toxified food.

I look to animals for guidance in a lot of things

grazers eat all the time. I have seen animals eat while in que for slaughter.
