RE: Why Do Psychopaths Get Bored? A Plausible Explanation

in #psychology6 years ago

Good point grand dad!

I guess we have to moderate everything and anything to avoid side effects?
But moderation or balance is hard to achieve but at least we're reminded when sometimes we tend to do things excessively, then we could easily shift or turn to other things instead of doing things we mostly love excessively especially those that feeds our appetite and desires or passion or pleasure doing them over and over again would lead to addiction.

Sort:  

Moderation is a good idea in most things, I agree, whereas following our passions and appetites may lead to destructive behaviors/consequences...

Yep, yep!

I don't know if I'm doing the moderation thing when I no longer eat breakfast for almost 2 years now.
Ever since I felt strong and healthy compared to those times when I was eating breakfast my almost whole life.

The difference may be because you don't eat breakfast, but it could be something else. For example, if you were eating a lot of wheat-based cereal, and have gluten intolerance and/or lactose intolerance for breakfast, stopping would almost certainly make you feel better.

I don't think stopping counts as moderation, though. :)

Yeah you're right. But I guess for now I feel better eating no breakfast. I don't know where this thing will go. Around 7 pm up to 12 noon no foods and no drinks at all, its 17 hours straight fasting daily for almost 2 years. Am I the only one doing this? I guess there are some. And I break the rules of the food industries slogan 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day'.

I sometimes don't eat breakfast. I find that if I make sure to stop eating 2-4 hours before bedtime, I don't usually need breakfast. However, if I don't, I will feel nauseous in the morning and need food to fix that. I assume that's because I went to bed while processing the food, and that resulted in blood glucose levels that were too high, but I'm not sure.

I just stick to my rules 17 hours fasting a day.
I already get used to this habit. I'm actually targeting 101 years old or so lol
I'm avoiding processed or manufactured products the best that I could.

That sounds like a good idea and, as long as your health improves, it may work for you. Just be sure to consult with an expert periodically to make sure there are no bad side effects. :)

When I lived in Indonesia, we mostly ate freshly made food from our kitchen. It's not quite as easy here, with all the temptations of easy cooking, but I try to make sure we avoid a lot of processed crap (except desserts, which I don't have the time to make). Is it still easy there to make everything from scratch?

I hope that the typhoons aren't messing up the farmer's markets!
