Why the hell do I have the urge to eat an entire days worth of food by noon?

[LadyForCamus]

There are no benefits to fasting.  We starve ourselves for the exact same non-reasons that we become gluttons. Our minds aren't truth-telling machines, and lacking or possessing the knowledge of "x" doesn't have the ability to help us overcome it's many flaws and ticks.  We know, for example, that neither stuffing our faces nor abstaining from food have any benefit whatsoever.  We still do both.  Yu;re not solving some problem by fasting, you're indulging in the same problem in a different direction.

Thanks for the input, though.

In the first evidence of a natural intervention triggering stem cell-based regeneration of an organ or system, a study in the June 5 issue of the Cell Stem Cell shows that cycles of prolonged fasting not only protect against immune system damage — a major side effect of chemotherapy — but also induce immune system regeneration, shifting stem cells from a dormant state to a state of self-renewal.

Now, now, Ark. I've told you before, authority nutrition is not an official, reputable source. It has some good resources and links to original research but you certainly shouldn't be citing its conclusions as an "authority" on anything.
