I agree with the concerns.

I have a whole different concern, finding NATURAL health care in the first place because normal medical treatment causes me nothing but horrible side effects & normal elderly care is nothing but msin stream medicine. Natural care is not covered by medicare & any in home or nursing home care only has main stream medical people & treatments working there. I have a whole different set of concerns from most people so as usual, I walk my own path in life

When I was a child, I drank black tea without sweetener. But then at about 40 I started needing a sweetener. I still can drink green tea, black tea with milk, unsweetened (milk has natural sugar in it). Weird. So weird.

If I drank that much I would be in the bathroom all day & get nothing done. I do drink a lot when working outside & massivly sweating & it just refills what I sweat out

Causation vs correlation ? I’m not sure about that one.

Hello everyone! Need your experience and advice. I have consulted a specialist for weight loss through intermittent fasting. It has been tough for me, honestly. I was prescribed HGH therapy at a clinic because of a deficiency, and that makes it even harder to stick to fasting. My energy levels can get pretty low, especially during the longer fasts, so finding that balance between managing my health and sticking to the fasting schedule can be really frustrating at times. Maybe some lifehacks or strategies? Thank you in advance!

I had to look up HGH (Human Growth Hormone) therapy Human growth hormone (HGH): Does it slow aging? - Mayo Clinic)

I hope you've discussed the fasting plan with the prescriber of the HGH therapy.

Are you struggling just with low energy? Certain breathing techniques can be stimulating, as well as splashing ice cold water on your face and arms.

Does the therapy increase your appetite? Perhaps drinking water or seltzer with lemon might help.

The "Hay" in the Hay diet (Dr. William Howard Hay) advocated fasting in "Health Via Food", but he'd put his patients on weeks-long fasts, and he'd remark that energy resumed at about day 3 of the fast. He also had different degrees of fasts. For example, he claimed that a diet of fresh fruit or vegetable juice was a fast.

Welcome, David! My first thought is fasting doesn't seem to work for you. I am trying a diet where I eat healthy snacks between meals.
