I think you have a point and I'm going to try the portioning you suggested. I think the problem is that when I stop my fast I feel like I should be able to eat my normal-sized portions but fasting kinda shrinks my stomach and it's hard to accept that just a few bites makes me "full". But I like your idea of reminding myself that if I'm hungry an hour later, I can just eat again then. Thanks for the common sense:) Rachel - it's kinda funny. This topic is being discussed all over the blogosphere (something in the water?). Over here everyone is pro- IF, but other sites like The Weighting Game (which I love, btw) are totally anti- IF. Check out the comments over there. Mark - thank you for the insight. I think you have a point and I’m going to try the portioning you suggested.

I make up for the calories I skipped, or at least close. But I'm also very active and I don't think my body wants a long-term calorie deficit. On another note, Indians in the Pacific NW traditionally used fasting to treat a variety of illnesses. Fasting and herbs were the first line of defense, and if that didn't work, it was time to call the medicine man for some good old-fashioned placebo. But fasting was also a part of their life even when they were well. The men often wouldn't eat for a day or more when they were on a hunt. Personally, when I come out of a fast I eat like a horse.

Healing takes alot of the body’s resources and energies, digestion takes up alot too." Come to think of it, whenever I get sick, I have no appetite whatsoever and can go days without solid food. I guess the body does know what it's doing. Mike OD wrote: “Most people with serious diseases have found much relief when they allow their body to heal.
