I just spent the past hour watching one of the most interesting and thought provoking documentaries on health living. It's a BBC production that was uploaded to youtube in its entirety.
Its all about the impact of various forms of fasting or even periodic calorie restriction can have on health, risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimers, etc.
I'd love to hear what others think so watch it
PS. Today is day 62 since I started using myfitnesspal and about 90 days since I got a pedometer. My goal was to increase my activity level on a general day to day basis without having to fit in a formal workout and to eat a bit healthier diet without swinging the pendulum so far it would be unsustainable. The first month with the Pedometer I didn't see any change in weight other than I stopped gaining weight. The past 62 days I've only failed to get some form of cardio exercise (most of it simply fast paced walking that gets my heart rate up) about 5 days.
In that time I've lost about 19 lbs and my waistline is much smaller by how lose my clothes are fitting. Belly fat = bad stuff so I'm pretty stoked.
