People associate fasting with mental disorder (anorexia, bulimia) and religion, but it is a great way to optimize your body's metabolism. The key to intermittent fasting isn't eating less, it's eating the same amount but in more concentrated intervals.
> A man I know in his early 50s said he had lost 12 pounds in about two months on what he calls the 7-11 diet: He eats nothing from 7 p.m. until 11 a.m. the next morning, every day.
To add to this anecdata, I did this for two months and lost around 20 fatty pounds. I wasn't large before, but I am noticeably leaner now. Maybe we'd be healthier if we took just 3 months out of a year for 16 hour intermittent fasting.
