#681: The Fasting Delusion




My quick comment is what i pointed out in the past.  a full satisfying three square meals provides nine days worth of calories for nine days of serious work.  

bluntly we need to lose two days of food just to keep our weight down where it is not a liability.

The problem is that we do not have an orderly approach to this at all and fasting and diets for that matter are heavi;y influenced by FADs.  not good.  I have maintained two days of fasting now for about twenty years and my body weight sits just on the upper boundary of normal, rather than twenty to thirty pounds higher.  It has not been difficult eitherbecause a fast day starts the night before so that you wake up with a dormant digestive system and sevaeral hours in.

#681: The Fasting Delusion | Christian Yordanov

https://activistpost.com/681-the-fasting-delusion-christian-yordanov/

My certified health practitioner from Portugal, Christian Yordanov, is taking on the entire health community with his controversial new book, The Fasting Delusion. A counterintuitive approach at first glance, but advocating for starvation for health is actually way more radical an idea than Yordanov’s position that eating nutritious food is more effective.

The starvation community is not happy about this book, but they won’t last very long in a standoff. Christian brings health science into the conversation, as well as logic and common sense, to debunk the fasting craze and explain to people that you can heal yourself with food, not by avoiding it.
