[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Muslims around the world keep a whole day fast during Ramadan (so a full month) and eat one hearty meal after sunset.

The upside is that because of this kind of extreme intermittent fasting, the incidents of cancer in Muslim countries in the Middle East is very low, even though they consume a lot of sugar and have other comorbidities.[/quote]

Whaaat?[/quote]
NP here.  Yes it's so good for you.  I am not Muslim but I fast during Ramadan (but I'll drink water during the day).  Intermittent fasting sends the body into autophage (basically, since it's not busy digesting, it spends its energy on "cleaning house."  Very much the historical human condition to not be able to graze all day, but only get one meal, and sometimes none.  The body has adapted to it. And this minimizes insulin spikes--you only have one, or none, a day. [/quote]

Maybe slims can eat twice a day during Ramadan. Before sunrise and after sunrise. Most people have at least tea/coffee and either a light breakfast. [/quote]

That’s a funny autocorrect! 
Obviously that was meant to say Muslims.
