A really interesting BBC show on the subject of intermittent fasting: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01lxyzc/horizon-20122013-3-eat-fast-and-live-longer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01lxyzc/horizon-201220... I've been experimenting with alternate-day fasting for a while now. I allow myself whatever I want for breakfast (usually cereal with fruit, or oatmeal) and then I eat _basically_ nothing until breakfast the next day. If I really want one, I'll eat a banana or a grapefruit after a run. An interesting observation is that I have absolutely no problem exercising on fast days. In fact a 5m run feels great.
