I worked out like crazy, right? And I have to eat. I'm not going to eat, which is crazy. You know, sometimes I've gone a day without eating and all that. And that's because, you know, and that's not because I don't want to eat, My body just, it just doesn't want food, literally. Like, you know, I don't have the appetite to really eat, even though I should eat, but I don't have the appetite to eat. So it's very, it's a very slippery slope sometimes. You have to be very careful with how you manage it. But yes, but you know, the advantages and the pros always outweigh the cons, in my humble opinion. It definitely builds great mental fortitude. That was one of the pros I forgot to mention. Great mental fortitude. Like, I kid you not.
