If you're looking to the Oxford dictionary then it sounds like you're just making a semantic argument. I was hoping to learn what the metabolic difference is.

  > I was hoping to learn what the metabolic difference is. Okay sure. But that's not what you said: >If you want to eat, have food available, and force yourself not to eat until a certain hour, how are you not starving yourself? Your argument hinged on food being available and consciously choosing not to eat it. That has nothing to do with metabolism.

    We've been talking about metabolism, hunger has to do with metabolism, and you are the only one who has replied with a dictionary argument. Have a great day!

      Three people replied to your comment, all correcting you. Several more have "replied" to our exchange with their up/down votes. Might I suggest that you were either wrong, or you accidentally failed in articulating your point? Both are perfectly fine. Mistakes happen. I'm genuinely confused about why you're trying to prove by engaging me further. There's nothing more to say.

        They made nonsemantic arguments, you made a semantic one. Not a big deal Anyway I'm surprised that you read this all as people "correcting me". This is a mess of people shilling a diet book by a well-known quack, hence why the OP was downvoted to the bottom.
