Article today, more research about irregular meal schedules and intermittent fasting.

One of the researchers says something very RMAX-ish:

"Blowout Diet" from Times Online

Professor Mario Kyriazis, medical adviser to the British Longevity Society, explains: “If you want to live a long and healthy life, quite the worst thing you can do is to avoid stress to either mind or body. Ageing is due to the loss of complexity in our system, and the way to boost complexity is to challenge the system. If you want to live long and healthily, don’t settle into routines.”
Compare with Coach Sonnon in one of the nutrition threads:

These episodes are broken up with long periods of scheduling constancy, especially in our culture (so-called "civilization" ). Even in other cultures this was/is true, for instance 40% of the daily time of !Kung bushmen is devoted to "visiting" (hanging out with friends and family). Not a lot of time out there hunting and gathering at all!!

Now, compare that to the meager 5% of time Americans have ("free" time). That's why Americans get confused about their blood sugar. They're so damn busy that they create sugar dependency because their schedule never changes... except on "vacation" when they overeat themselves into coma.

The point is how enslaved is your schedule to sugar?! Your nutrition should be built from the ground up so that you have the biochemical agility to suddenly alter your schedule for episodes of need whether occupational, recreational, vocational or mortal. Your nutrition should give you a springboard to change your schedule at any moment, without some tulmutuous insulin crash due to sugar dependency.
