You can log in with Apple ID, never share your email and remove the app from your account whenever you please. If that's too intrusive for you, I'm surprised that you've managed to sign up to HN so you can write a comment.

I didn’t sign up to HN just to write this comment. Also, HN doesn’t require providing an email address to create an account, unlike this app. I like my local-only preferences.

I've been doing a 16-20 hour fast since the lockdown and WFH, and to be honest I saw a significant decrease in my overall anxiety as a result. Anxiety I often offset with significant amounts of CBD (a $100/month expense). And while there are drawbacks, I can't bench press 215lbs anymore, the overall benefits have been pretty significant that I will keep doing it. My weight was pretty erratic, given the high stress lo…

Ironic, because what I've noticed is my anxiety goes absolutely haywire after a long period without food. I can go with OMAD, but I have to be careful to have some nuts or something on hand if I need them

I do this every year as a part of Ramadhan. Though I am not very religious - fasting and taking a break from the usual each year is uplifting, deeply spiritual and of course has health benefits..

A slightly different perspective from another religion. I am trying to follow the Hindu Lunar calender. But it’s a 2 week schedule based on full moon and new moon. Basically on the 11th day after full moon and new moon, one fasts from sunrise to sunset. That’s twice a month. It’s called Ekadasi Fast. But the real trick is preparing to fast 6-8 hours before and after the day of the fast. Also the day after the fast, t…

Asking you question since you may know the answer. I want to learn more about the lunar calendar and what need to done on which day. I need to perform shardham for my deceased parents and it will be great help to know lunar cycles. I am trying to practice my religion. I grew up mostly without paying much attention to anything so learning these things would be useful to me. tia. I am not sure if there a way in hn to dm someone.

I don’t think you should be looking at studies when it comes to how you eat, you should be focusing on how you feel, observing your own body and possibly talking to a doctor. I had a really big problem with acid reflux a while back after I stopped drinking alcohol. I visited many gastrologists and most of them offered little to no help, most only prescribed me drugs which was in my opinion not a solution. I finally m…

> I had a really big problem with acid reflux a while back after I stopped drinking alcohol. Are you implying that cutting back on alcohol can cause acid reflux? That doesn't seem right.

Well, ethanol reacts with hydrochloric acid producing chloroethane gas, so theoretically it can reduce acidity of stomach content by converting liquid acid into non-acidic and slightly anesthetic burps.

Hi..I wrote a reply and deleted it because I suppose the practice differs from region to region. And I am not that well learned about the subject. There is a phone app called Panchang that I use to track lunar tithis.

Your best bet is to connect with someone in your community or local temple and ask them.
