Lack of drive, binge eating, low testosterone.

Thank you.

I was thinking of doing a square, I’ve done sun squares before and they were awesome but i’ve heard Mars and Saturn squares especially can be harmful, i’ve an afflicted natal Mars too, would you recommend it as a positive influence?
I have done them before without issues. However, they can invite conflict in the areas of your life where:

1. Aries is on the cusp
2. Mars is placed
3. The House Mars is transiting

For example, if Mars in your 4th house, you can have arguments at home. If Aries is on the cusp of the 10th house, you can have strife at work.

This usually happens when:
1. The energies aren't handled properly
2. Transiting Mars in on an aspect of fate

Conflict is not always a bad thing. Like square aspects between planets, when managed properly, they give you the necessary opposition that promotes growth. Someone without squares in their chart will have less external opportunities for growth and will have to create their own opportunities internally.

I don't know if I'm making sense to you.

Yes, I understand, thank you. There’s a really good date upcoming for mars square so I’m lucky.
 
What exactly happens to people who "can't handle" thurisaz? Is it the same as with people who use nauthiz or saturn and don't know how to deal with hardship?
The description of the rune shows all the effects of it. If you can't handle something, it means you can't fully control how its energies manifests, meaning undesired effects of the rune may manifest. This can involve anything from beneficial all the way to harmful effects but still within the domain of what the rune rules.

I hope it's clearer now.
 
Unfortunately this is not quite how it works.

Whenever you fry foods, you have carbs, which is just a chain of glucose molecules, and also hot fats.
There's different ways to fry things.

Deep frying is considered the most unhealthy for obvious reasons. Couple that with unhealthy oils such as seed oils and nut oils (i.e. sunflower, rapeseed, palm, peanut) and we know all the bad about it.

Stir-frying (also known as shallow frying) is completely different and is considered the second healthiest after steaming food, provided you use healthy oils like cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil and cold-pressed, extra-virgin coconut oil. Or just animal fats, preferably organic and grass-fed.

Air-frying can also be done literally without any oil nor animal fat. There's still not much research available about it but it defeats any argument about fats blending with carbs, for example.

Another thing is that carbs digestion needs to be slowed down by eating carbs with adequate amounts of fats and protein. This is to avoid insulin spikes that convert most carbs into body fat to absorb it as fast as possible. Body fat is not desirable and, beyond the 6-12% mark (in men, not so sure in women but the mark is generally higher), it has no benefit for the human body. In fact, it slows down your metabolism.

Muscle mass, on the other hand, speeds up your metabolism as it takes more energy to maintain.

Yeah, I meant to say about Tuesday in my original reply.

It looks riddled with mistakes 😂 I just can't type too well on a phone.

Budget... Quit Any prior drugas/chemicals You we're taking... Due to financial capability or needing to choose between price drugs or good/water.
 
I’m also suffering from binge eating and it feels psychological, last year when I was away from home and family I used to starve a lot and eat high caloric food when I had the chance, due to having a stressful full-time job and working out, and lack of food and constant starvation I lost about 12-13 kgs, now I returned to home and I have more access to food but I got accustomed to junk food and also the psychological hunger feeling from starvation I can’t feel okay unless I’m eating junk food it feels like a “fix” and kind of an addiction.
I have gone through a similar junk eating spree, you are not alone. What I did to tackle this, was to drink one or two glasses of water whenever I would get the craving to eat junk food. But you can add other things to the list, such as fruits, dry fruits, and there are also a good amount food preservation recipes available on the internet to make healthy snacks.

Junk food and junk entertainment changes the brain and makes it revolve around dopamine receptors.
To change this, we just need to make sure the brain remains detached/away from these extensive dopamine releasing activities to reduce the number of these receptors. It's like 'not giving water to a caged living being even though it begs for it'. Dopamine is the "water" for these receptors.

We want these extra number of unhealthy dopamine receptors to reduce, to not exist.
"Cravings" happen when these receptors are asking/begging for that dopamine release. No dopamine or lesser produced dopamine than the desired amount by these receptors = brain begins to change and adapt to the newer number of dopamine receptors[which is lesser], result would be visible in the cravings, where the craving will be less intensive.


The easiest way to get out of this excessive dopamine reward system is to gradually distract the brain with an activity/task that is less intensive than the one you crave for. It's a gradual process, the lesser intensive activity should be done for an XYZ period before moving onto to an even lesser intensive activity, because this gives the brain time to lower the amount of these receptors and as well as adapt to the lowered amount of these receptors. This period for adaption can be of 1 week, 2 weeks, or even 3 weeks. it's up to you to test it. With each period one should begin to notice the change, they will notice that they are more happier, and feel better in the less intensive tasks which they considered boring or a burden.

Here, drinking water or eating something that has lesser fat, sugar, sodium and carb[this is always high in junk food] to fill our stomach is a less intensive task, which means you successfully reduced a number of these receptors. I believe getting rid of junk food addiction is a lot more easier, as it is correlated to your stomach, or the natural protien craving of the human body. Protien is very important for the human body, which is why if the protien intake is insufficent for the day, one will always feel hungry and this is where these junk food disorders usually stem from. So definitely take a look at your protien intake in your diet, if it's lower than what is recommended for your age, you have found the cause, and where it all began from.
And drinking a glass of water or eating a healthy food is not only less intesive task against the dopamine receptors, but it will also work as a fooling mechanism against the mind and the body's natural protien craving, killing your hunger/craving for a short period. One can use this to delay their body's unatural or natural cravings until their main diet is cooked and ready to eat.

Good Luck.

Hail Satan!
