Comments on: Why Skipping Meals and Workouts is Healthy http://www.marksdailyapple.com/intermittent-fasting-skipping-meals-healthy/ Serving up health and fitness insights (daily, of course) with a side of irreverence.

It's not "torture" and I don't spend the whole day complaining about how hungary I am. I also have no problem with a high intensity workout while fasting. As Brad Pilon states in Eat Stop Eat, many cultures practice some form of fasting on a regular basis. One of his points is that it's very difficult for us to consistantly eat well and IF is one tool that allows a person to eat "reasonably" without having to stick to a regimented meal plan. Since working IF into my week, I've been able to eat a few more things that I would have stayed away from. Foods that I really enjoy, but typically stayed away from.

Generally I have a small breakfast (1/2 cup of fresh, heavy cream with berries mixed in (my "cereal") and then a decent sized dinner (e.g., 3 eggs over easy with 5 slices of (organic) bacon with a fried onion). An odd rule I do incorporate into my routine is that I generally won't eat my next meal until after I have defecated ;) I generally have no problem going 24 hours each day without eating though

I of course do love the IF lifestyle....and think people still need to remember to eat real foods, not use it as a pass to binge, and keep it "intermittent". I think it's the mental obsession to eat all day long (or thinking one needs food all the time) that is keeping people from finding success and happiness. If anyone is thinking more meals is speeding up their metabolism....well they are in for a surprise: http://lifespotlight.com/health/2008/11/05/eating-more-meals-does-not-speed-up-your-metabolism/ I have a feeling Grok got lean and strong....without needing Zone bars.
