Science Was Incorrect About Fasting: Five Surprising Truths Supported by Recent Research
For decades, snack food ads have drilled a single message into our collective consciousness: "You're not you when you're hungry." We've been taught to fear the "hangry" brain fog, believing that skipping even a single meal will leave us irritable, distracted, and unproductive.

Why Did I Always Feel Like This?. Content Warning.
Trigger warning: the following story will discuss weight and other weight-related topics Growing up in Texas, my childhood, while parts of it were great, the household was both toxic and abusive. My parents, whom I've been estranged from for nearly 15 years, were verbally and physically abusive towards me. They would ridicule and belittle me about everything: they way that I looked, talked, and anything that they saw about me as weird. I'm the oldest of three children (younger brother and sister) and I always was the target of my parents' wrath. I was a skinny kid, and they would make horrible comments about my body, saying things like I needed to eat. For context, I was in high school and weighed almost 110 pounds. Sure, it's not a healthy weight for a teenage boy. However, at the same time, it's not nice to body shame your own child. No matter what I ate, I was still slim. The constant critique of my body from my parents stuck with me and my self-esteem drastically decreased, especially when I entered adulthood.
