This is definitely interesting and worth trying. I try to fast every Monday
but have a hard time making it through the day. I guess I could start by
reducing food and like Ashley said above, breaking myself in slowly. It is
appealing from the standpoint that I wouldn't have to prepare a bunch of
food to take to work with me - currently I eat breakfast, lunch, and a snack
at work and I try to eat lots of veggies every day. My only concern would be
getting enough veggies for the day if I only eat one meal. I guess it's
worth experimenting with.
