    It’s intermittent fasting but done during a different time scale. During Ramadan Muslims eat a meal before dawn, called suhoor, and eat a meal again after sunset, called iftar. In essence they have two fasting cycles. One while they sleep and the other during the middle of the day. This is similar to a 20:4…

    It really is the same thing under a different name. Your fasting period is slightly longer than more common methods of intermittent fasting. The diet has actually evolved from its original format since it was first created and the name was coined. More recently, the Warrior Diet has been interpreted as a strict 20-hour food…

    In a previous post I discussed what metabolic syndrome is and its possible causes. Here I’ll discuss what you may be able to do to reverse or prevent it. To start you can immediately reduce your consumption of carbohydrates. It’s not to say you need to eliminate them from your diet but if you have…

    Last week I finished reading, “Life in the Fasting Lane”, and I think it’s a great book for anyone looking to get into intermittent fasting or even fasting for longer periods. The book follows the real experiences of Eve Mayer and chronicles her successes and struggles with weight, diet, and fasting. There is nothing better…

    First we need to dispense with the notion of disordered eating. There is no such thing. The main problem with modern society is that we eat too much and we eat too much of the wrong thing. Humans are animals like any other and if we didn’t have access to modern society we would have…

    I don’t know if any of this can ever be proven since we can’t take a group of people and lock them up for a period of years. Hopefully someday we’ll have proof other than anecdotal evidence from people like me. It turns out that weight loss may not be the only way that switching…

    I’ve been doing what is now called intermittent fasting for a couple decades. Never once did I feel like gorging myself. Your stomach can only fit so much food into it. Skipping one or two meals doesn’t make you more hungry. And if you stay away from sugar and other carbs you will feel full…

    Intermittent fasting (IF) or Time Restricted Eating (TRE), call it what you want but either way you’re not eating as much as you used to and you’re not spiking your insulin every few hours. The results are incredible and it’s so easy to do. With a Ph.D. in epidemiology, Etienne-Mesubi put her research skills to…
