    The power of intermittent fasting

    Did you cover this last week? I wouldn't know, what with my Android phone being such a POS !
    BBC News - The power of intermittent fasting

    Anyone trying it? It was very interesting programme. I'm fasting today (500 cals by their definition). Feeling peckish now, especially after seeing the kitten curry recipe

    Oh well, time for my next cuppa tea now. Yum Yum

    Saw it, will not be trying it. What's the point of living longer if you're hungry?

      I'm doing it primarily to lose weight, not to live longer!

          So eating less a few days actually makes you lose weight?

            Not quite so obvious maybe. I think the point is that abrupt changes acheive where a long term reduction does not. I've noticed this before, if you suddenly and significantly step up the exercise/reduce eating you initially lose weight fast but then, even though you keep to the same exercise regime/calories, the reduction does not continue. Bodies adapt to any regular pattern, to achieve anything you have to ambush them.

              Body adapting? LOL. The reduction does continue (assuming you keep the exercise/calorie intake at the same level).

              The reduction just slows down, due to your body weighing less therefore it's easier to move yourself around which means it takes less energy.

              That's what the voice inside my head told me anyway.
