10:30: I listened to Dr. Fuhrman’s teleconference on Fasting/Calorie Restriction/Life Extension. He maintains if total calories are the same the one who eat them in larger but fewer meals receives more of a benefit then smaller frequent meals. He also stresses that you eat only when hungry. He maintains three meals a day and no snacking. But it is good not to eat a meal when no hungry. He says you feel hungry in the throat and not in the stomach. The stomach hunger is actually food addiction withdrawal.

I did not eat breakfast as I was not hungry. Off work today, so I am going to wait till I feel hunger in the throat. I was contemplating an 24 hour fast but think I will hold off from that. He stresses we need to eat healthy and not fast to compensate from poor eating. Exactly what I’ve been doing the last three days. Fasting is good if eating healthy.

19:17: I have yet to experience ‘hunger’ today, so have not eaten. Now mind you, I have thought of eating. I have been drinking various teas. Looks like I going the whole nine yards for today.

19:44-Well, not experiencing hunger, but feeling very cold, I decided to eat. Leftovers; cauliflower with spinach, and cooked collards. Feeling better.
