Weston-Price and Fasting

[Guest guest]

I've read most of Weston-Price's book " Nutrition and Physical

Degeneration, and came across some references to the body " borrowing "

certain minerals from the skeleton when the person isn't eating enough

high-quality foods in any one day.

Anyway, I wondered, therefore what the official Weston-Price take is

on fasting. I'm currently doing a reduced kind of Intermittent Fasting,

eating only one (full) meal a day within a 2-4(usually 2)-hour period,

and having 2-3 fast days a fortnight, which works great for me. This is

because I'd heard of one scientific study where mice were fed as much

as they wanted on one alternate day, and then forced to fast each 2nd

alternate day. These mice had better health than rats put(every day)

on caloric restriction diets(c.40% less, and lived much longer than

mice fed 3 full meals a day. Since feast-and-famine is more in line

with the hunter=gatherer way-of-life, I would have thought WP would

have been in favour of it, except that he seems to be against reducing

food-intake, according to his book. Any comments?
