A very interesting podcast to listen to or read on line : https://www.theenergyblueprint.com/how-to-lose-body-fat/?inf_contact_key=5d2445d22 It deals with questions we are all asking ourselves, and concludes that the best diet hands up is the one you can stay on, and even if the results are poorer a...

Thank you for that interesting post, Oolala. I've heard several podcasts by Longo, and although I won't try it out myself for various reasons, for one thing because of being over 70 and not looking for more problems, I'm very curious about it. Please do keep us updated if and when you try it. I fail...

I think you totally missed Fung's point, if you read his article at all. He absolutely and emphatically in umpteen posts rejects the calories theory, as well as its efficiency long term (short term it does work, with a staggering proportion of long term failures). His point is that IF (as well as lo...

When to eat
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I can't browse through 137 pages to unearth it. I found Dr Fung through this forum, and he has a lot to say about both obesity and diabetes.

Yes, this is exactly what I do, having had very modest results with No S only. In the beginning, I used to feel famished by mid-afternoon, and I planned a 3rd meal then, but eventually I realized it was all in my head, and now I'm quite OK with 2 meals a day. However, since in our French culture eve...

I didn't have much success on NoS, because quite honestly, it wasn't that different from what I'd been doing all my life. I was born and raised in France at the end of the war, at a time when wasting a crust of bread was very much frowned upon. As a child, a sweet was a treat that I saw only a few t...

Hi, Owendale. I recently had experience with intermittent fasting.

The idea is to boost your metabolism. And somewhere, the same Billy Craig states that his overeating triggered hyperactivity of his thyroid.

I don't know if they start school as early as some schools do here, though. But certainly, eating every hour or even two hours is not necessary for humans.

Marie-Claire is a French journal, and to the French, "snacking" means having an extra small meal (called "goûter" for children and "collation" for adults), which might be a piece of bread and black chocolate for children and an apple+yogourt for health-conscious adults. That's what "snacking" means...
