Cough cough, finish before two o’clock, an error margin of no more than an hour is acceptable.
Having crossed countless glaciers and trekked across dozens of kiloters of ice fields, he finally arrived at the real Greenland.
The ice-cold, hard rocks, the pale grey soil beneath the thick snow, were so inviting that one couldn’t resist kneeling and kissing them.
The earth is the true destination of humans.
Leaning against a rock, Bi Fang felt a slight dizziness in his head, a symptom of hypoglycemia.
"I haven’t eaten for three days," he calmly said to the cara. Accompanying this statent was a burning pain in his stomach, and the visibly exhausted man leaned on a rock to close his eyes and rest for a bit.
He had live-stread many tis before, but this was the longest he had gone without food. The excessive production of stomach acids without neutralization made his stomach feel like it was stuffed with a fireball, hot and aching.
"There isn’t a definitive answer to how long a person can live without food. In 2006, a Japanese hiker nad Mitsutaka Uchikoshi unfortunately fell down a mountain during a trek. Unable to move, he survived 24 days by just drinking rainwater."
"In 2011, a Swedish man nad Peter Kjellberg was caught in an avalanche while driving. Stuck in his car, completely buried in snow, he survived for two months by eating snow."
"The magician David Blaine from Ugly Country perford a stunt in 2003 by the Thas River, living inside a transparent glass box, 24 hours of live-streaming, without eating anything and only drinking water. He managed for 44 days before coming out, losing about 20 pounds, but other health indicators were largely intact."
"This shows that the human body can survive a long ti just by drinking water without food, but it will definitely beco very weak."
[Stop talking, I’m feeling hungry already.]
[I got so startled, I hastily wolfed down three bowls of rice.]
[Three bowls? Hope you don’t burst.]
[I tried fasting when I was dieting before. The first day I was very hungry but could bear it. By the second day, I couldn’t control myself anymore, and I was feeling colder. By the third day, I was suddenly not hungry, but I was clearly weaker, with no strength, and amazingly my body would wake up on its own, without needing an alarm clock, and I would fall asleep easily.]
[Haha, falling asleep easily, I’m afraid I might never wake up.]
[Hypoglycemia is dangerous; if you don’t address it promptly, it can pass you by quite easily.]
"Dieting by not eating is not good," Bi Fang opened his eyes and glanced at the barrage of comnts, reminding, "Not eating, or eating too little, will cause the body to automatically enter a state of low tabolism, which is like being in a ’make-do and still survive’ condition."
"In 1944, Ancel Keys from the University of Minnesota in Ugly Country conducted a starvation experint. It was quite an inhumane experint, and it’s sowhat complex, so I won’t go into details, but there was a control experint: normal eating, then starvation, followed by normal eating again. Doesn’t that sound like the usual routine of dieting?"
Many viewers nodded subconsciously.
After all, one can’t diet forever; eventually, normal eating habits will resu.
"Dizziness, hair loss, edema, feeling cold, being light-sensitive, sound-sensitive, blurred vision, continuous tinnitus, slow reactions..."
Suddenly, a string of words tumbled out of Bi Fang’s mouth, and he finally added, "These were all the sequelae after the experint. Not one of the participants was an exception."
[???]
[What the hell, that serious?]
"The experint was extre, and we would never diet this severely in our everyday lives, but we still need to be cautious. The calorie formula that we’ve always known is actually wrong. Many people believe that reducing calorie intake equals weight loss, which is a mistake because intake and expenditure are never equal."
"Everyone has a balance system within their body. When we eat less, our body enters a low-energy mode, reducing consumption. This ans lowering body temperature, strength, and the brain’s regulatory abilities. You will feel weak, irritable, and depressed."
"While it’s easy for consumption to decrease, it is hard to increase. Once you adapt to a low consumption mode, even if you return to your previous diet, you cannot raise your tabolism back up unless you engage in large amounts of exercise over a short period."
"So when you start eating normally again, you’re taking in the sa amount of energy as before the diet, but your consumption hasn’t increased. This actually leads to your body storing more energy, in the form of fat, which is what many people experience as weight rebound."
[Damn, it suddenly makes sense.]
[No wonder my sister gets even fatter within a month after losing weight, and it’s a never-ending cycle.]
[Gotta show this to my girlfriend (Dog’s head)]
"For weight loss, you should exercise more. As you increase your tabolism, maintaining a normal diet should be enough. There’s no need to specifically change your food structure, and it’s best to chew slowly."
"Often, the stomach and the brain don’t sync up. Even when the stomach is full, the brain might not realize you’ve already eaten enough and keeps sending hunger signals."
[Real·Taking advantage before the brain catches on]
After taking a brief rest, Bi Fang stood up again, stepping on the ground, a sense of fulfillnt turned into a trace of heroic spirit filling his entire body.
"This is the true world’s largest island. It connects the Arctic Ocean with the Atlantic, faces North Arica across the strait to the west, borders the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic to the south, and looks out at Europe’s Iceland across the Denmark Strait to the east."
"On the extrely cold Greenland, snowflakes dance all year round. Even in the peak of sumr, the weak sunlight can’t lt the snow on the ground, let alone during the long polar nights, when the sun always hides below the horizon, unwilling to show its face, and the weather gets even colder, adding to the thickening snow."
"For hundreds of years, Greenland’s cold climate has shown no significant change. The mountainous snow, unable to withstand the imnse pressure, gradually turns into pale blue transparent ice blocks that cover all of Greenland’s land, with depths reaching over 1500 ters, and in so places, more than 3000 ters."
Bi Fang pointed at a mountain range not far away, covered by thick snow. He couldn’t tell whether they were rock mountains or glaciers; they were indistinguishable from their appearance alone.
These massive glaciers would slide down sloped terrain towards the vast ocean. They gradually break apart into huge chunks due to the combined action of currents, tides, waves, and sunlight, bobbing along with the waves, creating loud cracking sounds.
Along the way, sunlight, wind, and waves shape them into various forms, like magnificent pyramids, like mountains, like arches – a sight filled with wonders and of extre grandeur.
So of these icebergs are kiloters long and hundreds of ters high, comparable to a floating island.
However, what people see is only the height above water. Below the surface, the iceberg has seven to eight tis that size hidden, and its enormity is unimaginable.
"Each of these Arctic icebergs breaks away from the glacier and drifts independently, lasting up to two years, traveling over a distance of 3000 kiloters across the ocean."
"When it reaches the warr waters and can no longer survive, it lts and disappears without a trace."
"But along the Baffin Bay, the icebergs are at their most daunting, often bringing endless disasters to the ships of polar explorers." Read latest stories on .Côm
"However, that has nothing to do with us."
Bi Fang’s grandiose tone suddenly lightened.
"I’m starving to death right now, I just want to eat sothing, even dirt would do."
