AJ- I knew some people would have that reaction, which made me reluctant to do it. However, I am really glad I personally did it, and there's an excellent chance I will gain perspective during these next few weeks and do it again. Once I work on my productivity (which is very unimpressive at the moment), and can effectively use the time, I will definitely go back.
Bender- You nailed it on the head. Thanks!
David- I full believe that polyphasic is completely healthy. It *feels* right when you do it. The reason I can't gain 15lb is because the foods I eat are extremely calorically sparse and I don't eat enough of them. I have been losing fat this entire time, down to 9.5% BF. There are a lot of indications that polyphasic may in fact be healthier, for your brain at least.
(down to 50 minutes of computer for the rest of the day!)
