starving

Calorie deficit that causes weight loss is starving. It's the definition of the word.

It isn't though. Why didn't you even check, when leaving a comment like that?

starvation

noun

*suffering or death caused by lack of food.

"thousands died of starvation"

Op didn't suffer. In fact, quite the opposite, wouldn't you say?

The not eating part was the suffering. Food later was the pleasure.

There's an initial period where there's a bit of hunger pangs, sometimes, but I wouldn't say there's suffering.

Then you get an incredible high and the hunger subsides. Feels amazing, honestly.

And I'm no stranger to recreational drugs.

but I wouldn’t say there’s suffering.

I've done intermittent fasting and it doesn't feel amazing.

With IM I don't really get to that energetic sweet spot.

It's more like 24h+ into the fast than in the 16-20 range.

That's when you're still somewhat hungry.

Cooking after some 30 hours of fasting is amazing. Everything smells fucking amazing and makes you salivate. People go in for healthy diets usually I think but I just feast.

One time made this amazing deer bolognese sauce, simmered it for ages. Spaghetti, fresh parmeesian (hehe) and a salad of nice fresh tomatoes and some other goodies. A nice beer on top of that.

Mmmm-mmmm-mmm.

Got to do that at home though, since usually that slaps the digestive tract awake and I have to run to the bathroom.
