Re: [fast5] World's oldest man practices Fast-5!

Actually the "eat like a king in the morning" philosophy has been
around for awhile, and a lot of people swear by it. I think there are
cultural preferences: in some places they eat their big meal in the
middle of the day and then take a nap, and in others they eat their
big meal in the evening. I think we are the first people in history to
have *three* big meals a day, and that probably came about with the
advent of servants in middle-class households. Snacks got invented
pretty much by the snack food companies.

If you could just tell people not to eat so darn much." ....And he drinks plenty of water...Breuning said he has been healthy all of his life and believes diet has a lot to do with it.... Breuning celebrated his 113th birthday with not one, but two cakes, one chocolate and one vanilla. And for his birthday lunch he got his favorite: liver and onions."

> Seems like Breuning practices Fast-5 with a morning eat window instead of the normal afternoon or evening one. Anyone else follow this eating window of just breakfast and lunch? Breuning has not had dinner for 35 years!! But in doing so, he is probably still fasting at least 15 hours a day.
