Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Hi folks: This 'grazing versus fasting' issue is interesting, and I would like to try to satisfy myself about it. I too have been told over the years things like: " breakfast is the most important meal of the day " ; " everyone should eat three square meals " ; and " you shouldn't eat too much late in the day " and so on. But I have never seen anyone provide worthwhile evidence to support these views. On the other hand here I have seen regular full day fasting recommended. If anyone knows of experiments with mammals, using a mortality rate or average life expectancy end point, comparing identical food consumption but with, say, some fed three times a day, others once daily and others every other day only, it would be helpful to me to decide whether to try the 'one-meal-a-day' route. Since I am starting out healthy I am not convinced it would be a good idea to go hog-wild into something different from what I have been doing, without some reasonably persuasive evidence.
