Whatever, but that isn't fasting at all.  That is just a crazy low calorie diet.[/quote]

The idea behind have a stretch of hours of fasting is that your body kicks into burning its glycogen stores after a certain point, rather than carbs you have recently eaten. So to keep eating an little and a little all day would impede that transition.  There is more to it, so I will post some links that discuss.

When beginning I eased into it, keeping raw almonds and almond milk on hand if I couldn't make it any further on a fast day. I find weekday fasts easier than weekends. [/quote]
