Wouldn't the fasting send the wrong message to the body and trigger the starvation response? Or am I trying to combine two things that shouldn't be combined?

For weight loss purposes, though, the approach is a bit strange, don't you think? What is the motivation to eat a "normal" amount of food on the other six days of the week (instead of compensating for the one day of "starvation")? If one is comfortable eating a healthy amount of food, how did they become overweight in the first place? I think that fasting is a beneficial experience.

Many people think it's blasphemous to fast on a workout day, but <a href="http://www.fitbuff.com/products/eat-stop-eat/" rel="nofollow">Eat Stop Eat</a> puts many of those myths to rest.

It's not even an issue for me at all anymore, and I almost like fasting days even better, because I get so much more done without the constant interrupts of cooking/eating.

Each time it becomes easier to fast. I also feel that the fasting keeps me focused on portion sizes the rest of the week. I am enjoying the challenge.
