I was on a weight plateau and was intrigued by what Brad was saying so also got the book. The research about improving blood glucose caught my attention, as well as the other useful things. And I like my current diet, it keeps my diabetes under control, and I was not gaining weight. So I am losing some fat, I was able to reduce insulin until my tummy told me to quit taking Metformin, and it is easy, no hunger pangs. I also am doing Hypertrophy from NROL and think I am gaining a little muscle, so my weight has gone down a little, but otherwise stable - pants conspiculously fit looser.
The book recommends two days of fasting a week, from one dinnertime to the next, so by one measurement it is not a full day fast, which could be considered to involve skipping three meals in a row. It is a 23 + hour fast.
