I've managed to lose weight this past year, under 200# for the first time in 18 years so doing something right. I mean, I believe the fasting stuff, remember running into a woman, a dancer, back in 1974 that said she didn't eat a day a week, looked good for her (not young) age so yeah, always believed we were designed for feast and famine so now that we can feast all the time one needs to replicate that famine part somehow but never had gumption to follow through on that. so read stuff like this with interest.
