It took me a long time to "get" the IF thing. Art talked about it in 
the old EvFit archives from years ago, but for whatever reason his 
past explanations just didn't sell me. Then he made a post early last 
August, in which he referenced a study by Mark Mattson which 
illustrated in pretty clear terms Art's idea that intermittent eating 
patterns were an obvious and natural complement to intermittent 
exercise patterns.

Since then I've stayed pretty close to the overall pattern Art 
described in his blog which he derived in the Why We Get Fat paper: 
skipping dinner every third day or so, and a full day without food 
every 4-5 weeks. Plenty of modification for various things - holidays 
especially.

This was the smartest move I made in all of 2005. Not just for me, 
but for work and family too.
