Out of curiosity, what was the reason for the partial fast? And how did it affect you?

+1 on the giant salad for minimal calories! If you don't use traditional, calorie packed dressings you can really fill up on a small amount of calories since lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers are such low calorie foods.

Fast was just an experiment. A colleague had done it for a year and I was curious. I lost about 8 lbs over 4 months. Other than that, uncertain of health effects.

The idea for it and some health claims are in a BBC documentary you can find online: "Eat Fast and Live Longer."
