Eat, Fast, and Live Longer

(from Jenn)

One of the guys in our Facebook Reboot group has been posting different documentaries about health each day.  Well, the one I watched yesterday, Eat, Fast, and Live Longer, was incredible.  It followed a man with some health issues as he researched and experimented with different ways of eating (or not eating, as the case may be) to see how they affected his health.

Basically, what I took away from it was that several methods of adjusting our eating can greatly benefit our health:

1. We can reduce our overall caloric intake every day.
2. We can completely fast for three days every month or two.
3. We can incorporate intermittent fasting where we eat whatever we want one day and consume only one 500-calorie meal the next, ad naseum (or eat normally for five days and "fast" two).

This guy's test results after options two and three (which he followed for five weeks) were very similar, though I have to admit that option three sounds a lot easier.  I really think I could do that long-term!

Anyway, check out the video.  It's really interesting stuff!
