Intermittent Fasting - any ideas on the topic?

[hardcore]

Interesting theory. I do question the Paleo diet somewhat though. I agree with your observation of the likelihood that there were long stretches of not eating. They would likely have been followed by gorging if the opportunity presented itself. But I do not think they ate boneless skinless chicken breasts. I have not noticed anything on Paleo diets that references the fact that they likely ate a lot of bloody raw and quiet unclean meat. Natives in North America were still raw animal organs in 1900. I'm a bit skeptical because it seems they are using science and history to back certain things but seem to ignore major aspects of Paleolithic life.

That being said I certainly am not a biologist or diet expert and there seems to be some science behind it. Many cultures do it, and I also believe that it is a good test of will power. It is easy to fast when there is no food, much more difficult when your cupboards and freezer are stocked.

I am interested in what the results would be.
