		<description>This evening I plonked myself in front of my computer with a cluttered mind and fifty odd things to successfully research and change about my life....and I had no clue where to begin or end. 

I stumbled across your site after researching new weight loss ideas (amongst the multiple other open windows on my screen) and the topic of fasting caught my interest immediately as I am a Muslim and we are currently in our month of fasting...many people think this practice is outdated and unhealthy but after reading almost all of your articles on the subject I am feeling a lot more positive about the benefits of fasting and I&#039;m definately going to try and include intermittent fasts into my lifestyle at the end of this month. It&#039;s also interesting that part of the Islamic lifestyle in ancient times recommended fasting twice a week as part of a religious practice.

Your article above made me smile, It was just what I needed to hear after a long unproductive night of procrastinating, worrying and munching...I&#039;m off to bed now with the refreshing thought that sleep is indeed important and I&#039;m much obliged to you for the simple yet logical advice that so many of us fail to conceive of on our own!

Yours appreciatively,

		<description>I just discovered this website yesterday, but I have to say, after reading just two of your posts, this is one of the best sites I have found on nutrition and lifestyle change!  Thank you!

Jesse is right on when he says how good you feel once you start ... I can&#039;t even begin to put into words how much better I feel not only about myself, but about EVERYTHING  that surrounds me when I exercise daily and just eat natural foods.

And I would just like to add for those of you who may have a long journey ahead of you, like I did, you can&#039;t worry about 50 or even 100lbs you should lose (even if your doctor is screaming at you about it), worry about the 5 or 8lbs you CAN lose this month.  Don&#039;t worry about giving up ALL your favorite crap foods today, eliminate one item at a time, or one serving from your weeklly intake.  It will add up in the long run and remember two things:  Change IS good and life is about being happy with yourself first.

Thanks again for all your words of wisdom!  I will definately be spreading the word!</description>
