I’m incredibly honored to bring you today’s post – courtesy of Vit Kashchuk, editor of www.eatstopeat.org!

By melanieavalon / January 28, 2016

I have this fantasy. In my fantasy, I’m at some >daytime< social function with beautifully motivated people. While most munch on fancy hor’fevours, I abstain, filling food’s absence with words. Then this beautiful human being approaches me, blending the cold brilliance of Spock with the ethereal agility of Legolas, and the God-like physique of Adonis. […]

Does Intermittent Fasting Encourage Eating Disorders?

By melanieavalon / November 8, 2015

You’d think the hardest thing about Intermittent Fasting would be the whole “not eating” thing. But actually, the “not eating” thing is kinda a breeze. Due to the metabolic adjustments of intermittent fasting and use of (essentially) never-ending fat as fuel, you actually have NO hunger when fasting.

Reader Q&A: Intermittent Fasting Problems

By melanieavalon / September 17, 2015

When I first decided to go public with my ideas of intermittent fasting, I was the only person I knew who had actually done it, with the exception of my fabulous friend Ben Empey, my co-conspirator in my initiatory Warrior Diet trial run in Spring 2011.
