Fasting & Smash Bros

SmashBros  |  Fasting
Two completely unrelated subjects.

Today is my 5th day of 5 of a customized and clinically studied fasting-mimicking diet, with a very tailored and severely reduced caloric intake. The purpose of fasting isn't for weight loss (though I could definitely afford to shed a few pounds, or kilos for the rest of you non-Americans). Instead, at around the 3rd day, it puts your body into a different state, where it's now realized standard nutrition isn't incoming. It forces your body into a protective state, and allows for cellular regeneration, refreshes stress resistance, removes damaged cells and/or increases repair of cells. Basically, it's rejuvenation for the body's organs.

In any case, I'm definitely hungry, and a bit on the weak side, but feeling pretty good today. The 2nd day was amazingly the worst, where I felt foggy, lethargic, and had a headache. I'm definitely ready to have some normal food though.

As for ALSO today...as everyone knows, Smash Bros Ultimate has been released. I can't believe they're putting Joker from Persona 5 in as a DLC character...guess who's more excited than I am? My kids...lol. They love watching me play that game for some reason.

I'm super pumped for it. I've seen a lot of mixed/negative reviews on the World of Light single player mode, but I think I'll be perfectly happy with it. But I get an earlier taste...some coworkers got it last night, and another coworker created a mobile gaming system (originally meant for a Raspberry Pi setup), and he made some adjustments so we can play the Switch on it. That's what we're doing for lunch (and by lunch, I don't really mean lunch for me, lol).
