What is this based on? 

All primates eat every day, all day. 

Science? History? It's well known that we are built to survive feast and famine. World record fast was 382 days with nothing but a multivitamin and he suffered zero ill effects. Eating everyday, three times a day, snacking and our portions are the reason we are obese as a nation.

We weren't created to eat every day, much less three times a day. Had we been we never would have survived as a species. 

this is pure stupidity

we weren't "not created to eat daily" we have biological ancestors who evolved along with a scarcity of food millions of years before domestication made chewing down daily a thing. this is not a case for not eating daily. this is a case for being able to survive it. good god some people will believe anything if it's wrapped in the right language

Is 67.5 hours considered intermittent?

I fast everyday. Usually from 10pm to 1pm.

So, 3 hours?

Many doctors would disagree. I would disagree based on anecdotal evidence.

I do it. Typically do a 36 hour fast followed by 36 hours of eating. 3 day cycle.  Really cuts the weight. Add in Keto and its pretty insane

 

saying its "starving" is completly ignorant. You dont starve until your body doesnt have any fat to use and you break down vital body tissues

 

wana lose weight? Stop pitting food in your mouth. That simple. Obviously dont go too far with it. 

 

Serious health and spiritual benifits of fasting

 

[The Huddler]

But in our consumer society where the food industry is massive

 

...

Eat! Thats starving! You need this program! Do this clense! Keep running in circles confused of which diet to do next!

I do it daily. Stop consuming calories at 10PM, don't eat again until 2 PM the next day. I feel great. Not even hungry in that fasting period, and I work nights. So I spend 8 hours of my 12 hour shift hungry, then go to bed. Dropped 10lbs in about 3 weeks, but hitting a plateau because I also haven't been in the gym in about 2 of those weeks for sheer laziness more than anything. Going back at it tomorrow, so hopefully I can drop another 20 in the coming months.

I don't think I could do more than 24 hours. Do you drink more water or chew gum or something to suppress the hunger?

Oh me too, but staring at 400 pounds it was time for me to rearrange my priorities.
