For those who are recovering from metabolic derangement, there is a fear that returning to a diet that is dominantly carbohydrates will lead to a return to their health problems. Is this fear justified?
If going paleo satiates hunger and moderates the appetite in itself, does it make sense to return to a diet that destroys this balance and makes one hungry when one doesn't actually need to eat for the sake of observing an ancient fasting discipline? In essence, would going off paleo entail making myself feel hungry in order to prevail against that sensation? Mortification for mortification's sake? The great ascetics may have been able to observe the fast without any adverse health effects--was this because of graces being given to them for the purity of their intention, rather than the natural consequences of the fasting?
