I am doing the every other day routine, but soon will switch to 5-2 schedule. It has changed my whole relationship with food. This method and the advice from Michael Pollan has made me a much healthier person.

I can attest to what he says about energy levels.

This is Mosley's BBC/PBS video.

I eat my meal at 2-3PM. Yesterday it was braised Napa Cabbage with garlic and onion, a grill cheese on whole wheat. Today I had a belly busting hamburger at Cheddars.
