Question #4255: Question about fasting and overeating Jupiter

[AskSatanOperator]

I have a Jupiter placement that encourages overeating, but intermittent fasting helps to maintain a good weight if I only eat a lot within a 2-hour window instead. For some reason, it's a lot easier. But I've read here that fasting is extremely unhealthy, so I'm not sure what to do.

You should do what feels good to you and works for your needs. There is alot of dogma around diet. As long as you are getting the nutrition you need, it's fine to eat on a narrower schedule. You can also try reading about ayurveda and see what is recommended for your dosha.

The kind of fasting that is always bad is outright starvation, which is the sort of "fasting" that is done in abrahamic religions. Intermittent fasting is fine, it's what used to be called skipping breakfast or simply not eating constantly around the clock. Nothing so extreme.
