I did the 72 hours fasting 3 times, just to see if I was able to do it and because I read that 3 days it's something like a reboot of the inmune system.

I do this every week: last meal on sunday night, next meal on tuesday night, next meal on thursday night, next meal on friday night and on saturdays and sundays I eat all I want whenever I want. During fasting I only drink water or tea.

I've been doing this for a year, I feel great :)

That's also certainly a way to cut down on ones grocery bill. I'm amazed at self control of some People.
Personally, I find absolutes like "I will not eat period" or "I will eat only pre-packaged x, y, and z for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, respectively, every day" much easier to follow than more vague calorie-counting rules.
So during week days(Mon to Friday) you eat only 3 times?
Yes, that's correct. On those 3 times I eat whatever I want, imagine that I have plenty of time to plan that meals :)
