Weight / Fat loss

When I did the massive diet last year there were days I was consuming no more than around 600 to 700 calories. It's not starvation, your body gets used to it and I actually felt sharper and had more energy a lot of the time.

When we were running around gathering berries and looking for things to kill there would have been days when we would have gone without (or with very little) food.

I think the most important thing with all of this is finding whatever works best for the individual.

Coming from a muslamic raygun family I have been dabbling with fasting this year. Actually feels good to give the digestive system a rest as I eat so much normally. Also gives you a lot of time to do other things, so much of my time is used up thinking about/preparing/eating food.
