It would be interesting to do human trials with the every-other-day
idea.  Most people (myself included) would probably find this daunting,
but perhaps a bit of fat on the fasting days would make it more
manageable.  I don't know if this would give *better* results than the
one-meal-per-day approach, but it might.
