But strangely enough, there was a sort of freedom in the way we obtained food in years gone past, wasn#8217;t there?

Here’s a random thought on Eat Stop Eat style Intermittent Fasting, mostly brought on by questions I get on my facebook page.
It has a lot to do with people posting asking about various ultra-minutia nutrition questions, usually brought on by the latest contrarian nutrition guru…
“So and so says breakfast is the most important meal is it true?”
“So and so says always eat at night…what should I do?”
“So and so says I have to take X supplements… do I?”

When I see questions like these I always wonder if the person asking the question has actually read Eat Stop Eat.
With Eat Stop Eat your fasting is flexible. This is an extremely important part of the overall philosophy.
You want to eat dinner every single day, fine, it’s completely doable.
You want to have breakfast every day? Fine…you can do that too with Eat Stop Eat.
If you want to workout during your fasts… that’s OK.  […]
