[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read The Obesity Code by Dr Fung. Basically he says it's not as simple as calories in/out. Weight gain/loss is dependent on insulin levels. Fasting is a way to do this. He goes way in depth about how the body processes food but that stuff went over my head. Coffee is fine. Black coffee is best but if milk helps you comply then it's ok. Diet sodas are not fine (sugar subs raise your insulin). Some people do 2 days of fasting to five eating. [b]I do 16:8, do basically I eat from noon-8. [/b]Around ten I may feel hungry, but I drink water, stay busy and it goes away. [/quote]
This doesn't seem so much like "fasting" as "skipping breakfast."  Not a great idea.  [/quote]

When it helps someone go from pre-diabetic to healthy it is a good idea, wouldn’t you agree?[/quote]

Nope. I think eating one meal a day would help with that also. It is about figuring out a healthy relationship with food. You are clearly not there yet.[/quote]

Weird! See, I think the point of food is to make you healthy, not to have a relationship with it. I had an emotional relationship with food for about 30 years and now I just use it to stay healthy. You are really missing the point if you think eating one meal a day would be healthier but you should eat more because...relationship?[/quote]

I don't understand what's so "unhealthy" about skipping breakfast? Or dangerous? Or whatever word you would like to use. IMO, the standard should be to eat when you're hungry, stop when you are full. If this poster, or the OP, or whoever, does not feel hunger until noon time, should they force themselves to eat? That seems crazy to me. Just like there are people out there who wake up hungry/need breakfast, there is nothing wrong with them eating breakfast. I myself find that I am hungrier all day long if I eat breakfast. If I simply just wait until I'm hungry to eat, that naturally occurs for me around lunch time.

Why do we feel the need to lump every single human being together? Why do we insist every single person must need the exact same thing? Why can't we just accept that bodies react differently to different things? [/quote]
