The Science of Fasting

I have not done IF in a year, my diet just stabilized completely since I moved in with my girl friend. Her niece has come to live with us, however, and she loves Italian food. So I have been doing more than my normal share of the cooking and I have gained about 5 pounds. I ate my last meal before 4pm today. Even though I haven't needed it at all for weight loss these days, I have actually kind of missed it. So I am excited to pick it back up for 3 or 4 days. And I am betting that even though it took me over a month to put on those 5 pounds, I will be right back where I want to be by Sunday. We shall see.
