[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fasting was common throughout human history. People living 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 years ago did not stop every two hours for a snack and there lives were 100 times more arduous than the lives we live today.[/quote] Eating 2 or 3 meals per day isn't fasting, despite the catchy name. You don't have to eat snacks. Now, aren't you healthier?[/quote] Early humans did not get 2-3 meals every day on a regular basis. There are still hunter-gatherer societies living today and they may miss a meal if the hunt fails or if they fail to find enough roots for everybody. They may not call it IF, but that is how humans ate for most of our history. Feast, famine, feast famine, etc. Now we do it artificially and call it IF. [/quote] Feast-famine cycles are only speculative, and there are populations, historically and today, that only eat diets of plenty. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4031802/ In any event, skipping a meal or fasting for a day is not famine. It's another form of calorie restriction. For those who enjoy weight loss from it, great! [/quote]
