Fasting Inside the Box
We often thing of rules and constraints as limiting. And we don't like limits! But sometimes limits are the greatest ally in making progress.

They Say Fasting is Too Stressful
There is a school of thought that says a fasting weight loss path is too stressful. Why would anyone ever do it?
