“Before you study Nutrition, food is food and drink is drink; while you are studying nutrition, food is no longer food and drink is no longer drink; but once you have had enlightenment, food is once again food and drink is again drink.”

    maybe that is the issue...you diet instead of eating to live.

    I think a lot of us have quotes, affirmations or motivational sayings that have power to enlighten us or are thought provoking.

    In regards to the quote, I will forever be studying, learning and widening my knowledge on the subject here, so I may never really graduate, but I clearly accept food is food and drink and drink, my mindset is in a whole different place today than 2 years ago.

    He's actually not trying to sell anything. He has a cheap book out there but you can read all the content online or on his website. There are no supplements or expensive meal plans that come along with his Eat Stop Eat plan. There's actually a lot of research to back his plan, as well. The excerpt you posted is merely a list that research and clinical studies have found to be benefits of fasting.

    The book was 49.99...and is now on sale for 10$...so he is trying to sell something...

    burn more belly fat? you can't spot reduce.
    boost metabolism? that is done with muscle not food.
    rapid cleansing...please.
