    I've intermittent fasted for the past year. I have lost 100 pounds. Almost limitless energy. No need for anti depressants. Healthiest and happiest I've ever been. I'm 45 years old and in the shape of my life. Massive mental clarity. I have even subsided some of my health problems. I have reversed the aging process. Fountain of youth here folks. I look 10 years younger! So happy. All I can do is smile and dance.

    I confess  that my  hand had started  to  shake in the past. I tried  to deny it. I used  to  fast  a lot, somehow I  stopped. I started to  fast  this  year, plus getting  rid of  sugar and the shaking is  gone.Aleluyah

    Ted Talks can be ego platforms on pointless issues but this man really convinces in a mild and intelligent tone. Wonderful lecture. Thank you Mr Mattson.

    I water fasted for 22 days and remember my mind feeling connected to the earth. The mental clarity was something I've never experienced before.
