Hello, Just wanted to say that it is my day 27 on the Fast5. I have found that other diets are much harder than this one. I just found it very hard to keep...
Welcome to the group! The first step is always the hardest. I used to be one of those "eat 6 meals a day" gals and when we switched to "natural" foods the...

Um, well, that's a good point. I don't KNOW this in terms of "there was a study done ... " but when I was reading the Warrior Diet book, and others that deal...
Heather, It does make more sense in the context of bodybuilding. If you increase your dietary protein and do weight training, you can preserve muscle while...
I believe that is true for "straight fasting". IF isn't really fasting. Actually IF is more or less the way humans (and many animals) NORMALLY eat. Eating...
It was in the news today that a guy named Don Gorske has eaten two Big Macs a day for 36 years. He has now topped over 23,000. I was curious as to whether he...
That's an interesting case. I did a similar thing before I got married ... I mainly ate one meal a day, mostly junk, and mostly did ok. As do many millions of ...
