The Science of Fasting

Devildog said
Since I've not been able to work out due to needing surgery on my neck, I've been eating a simple breakfast of eggs, some sort of protein, and a small granola bar. I skip lunch and drink water all day, which keeps me satisfied. When I get home, I'll fix dinner if my wife is working, or she'll have dinner ready by the time I get home (usually around 6:00 PM).

Since I've been following that plan, I've lost 13 pounds over the last couple of months and that includes Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Cool but not sure what this has to do with fasting? While many ARE merely implementing for weight loss, I think the point is that there are many health benefits to fasting. Fat loss, if it happens, is just lagniappe and, the way I see it, this thread is not about the myriad ways there are to lose weight.
