Hi Brad,
In keeping with the theme of this post, in your research, have you noticed a certain amount of time without food that it takes for your body to burn fat. I like the ESE approach and I (think)I understand that your body is always burning and storing fat, but my plan is to use behavior modification to eliminate all snacking and only put food in my mouth 2, or at maximum three times a day. We are looking at 6-8 hours between meals 1 and 2 and another up to 16 hours until the next meal. I want this to become my lifelong eating habit. Would I be burning fat between each meal? What are your thoughts on the plan? Last but not least, thanks for the informative and entertaining site!

Hi, Brad.
I read your book and started ESE, but I stopped after some weeks. I understood why: I started with 2 fasts, with no resistance training (two big mistakes). Now I’m going to start KB training, and I feel this will be the good time.
I just wanted you to know that your “not so high” protein approach is confirmed by a very serious person we should listen to, although he’s not a scientist: “Regarding your question [he's talding with Dennis B. Weis] about the grams of protein per pound of muscle bodyweight, I have done studies on this, and I’ve read more on protein than you can shake a stick at. If you’re consuming 1/2 gram of protein per pound of muscle bodyweight regardless of how hard you train, that’s all you need for repair and muscle growth; that’s it. Any more than that will either be stored as fat or you can consume it as fuel”. Who said that? Well, a “decent” bodybuilder called Bill Pearl…
The post was lengthy, hope it was worth the read. Best wishes.
