The Obesity Code

(I donno, maybe?)

One of the interesting things to compare after reading many nutrition books is the particular audience each one has. If a person is clinically obese fasting seems like a method that might be easier to handle than a forever low cal diet. Fasting + whole food/low added sugar diets with occasional feasting probably works well if you are not dealing with high stress/athletic performance demands/eating disorders or wtv. Fung notes that obesity involves multiple factors that might include insulin resistance, poor sleep habits, emotional trauma, or high stress environments : the fix for one person is not the fix for all but fasting is one tool (and you won't stave or lose all your gains while doing it!)

I don't know if I could imagine fasting n-times a week forever? I don't get the sense that there is a maintenance phase that doesn't involve regular fasting. Are there longitudinal studies that show how fasting as a weight maintenance techniques stack up against other diet methods? To be seen I guess.
