Jamie -- Dr. Mark Mattson's fascinating research
Jamie -- (this method of posting is quite clunky to me -- takes too
long to compose a respone) Any chance you'd like to put a small wager on this one? Say one dollar? Dr. Mattson's study will start in late summer or early fall and will take about six months. Please see the following for a brief description of three meals being better than two, http://www.portal.telegraph.co.uk/ne...9/ntwin129.xml As for what those folks the knowledgeable folks from misc.fitness.weights have referred to studies showing that the only number of meals per day that has poorer results for weight loss than any other meal frequency is eating only once a day. say, I'd be happy to wager each of them a buck as well (to a maximum of 100 dollars). I think we will find that one meal a day is no less harmful than more meals a day (in terms of harm to the human body). And from my perspective, we're going to find that it's easier to adhere to one meal a day than to be forced with the choice on a daily basis of, "Should I eat? Should I just have a 16th of that?" Wanna bet on whether it's more harmful? Yours, Caleb |

Jamie -- Dr. Mark Mattson's fascinating research
I see, it's a life-extension study, that hasn't been done yet.
Says nothing at all about losing weight, or this eating pattern on optimal weight folks vs overweight folks, or if the rodent study helped or hindered fat mice. The page did refer to the once a day eating as raising "stresses", from which one might suspect that it might raise cortisol, the latest fad bugaboo cause of difficulty losing weight.

Jamie -- Dr. Mark Mattson's fascinating research
Bob -- I agree with your views. Important too is throwing off the
oppression of the toxic advice given by people who give advice that is without any good scientific foundation. Agreement among nutritionists on this particular matter is almost worthless, I think. (They encourage three squares a day, plus snacks, etc.) While they certainly know a lot about different things (and a heck of a lot more than I do about food-related biology -- I'm a psychologist, not a physiologist, nutritionist, nurse, etc.), a lot of what "they know just ain't so." (You may remember that Mondale in his 84 election campaign said, "It's not what we don't know that's going to harm us. It's what we know that just ain't so!" I too would like to look into the future on this one. Yours, Caleb Bob wrote in message . .. Caleb, you are correct. I have no doubt that the fasting will produce the greatest results for both weight loss and longevity. And with that, there will be an increase in health and happiness for those who fast. I'm anxious for the results though and wish I could see into the future as to just how much fasting and how many calories per 'week' produces the best results. I know we can't say say 'calories per day' with this diet because there will be approximately 0 calories on the fasting days. Some have started this diet already and expect to live to be 120 and in relatively good health for the duration. Bob |

Caleb, I'm seeing more and more reputation of the idea that skipping
breakfast is necessarily bad for you. I'm now highly suspect of anyone that claims that, or that 3 squares are necessary or that starvation mode is a bad thing. Most of these people will go to their graves knowing what ain't so. What's your idea on a likely diet/fasting schedule that will maximize longevity?
