Research Links on Weight Loss, Nutrition and Fasting

I began researching weight loss approaches and fasting in particular in early 2017. Here are some links for the sources that I found most informative. I used periodic fasting (ranging from not eating until dinner time all the way up to having a meal Sunday evening and not eating again until dinner on Friday). 

I lost 40 pounds (and have kept it off for six years). I also used fasting to help improve my concentration when studying for and taking the USPTO Patent Bar Exam (I passed!)  I hope you find this information helpful.

The bottom of this page also includes links found during my research that discuss a connection between calorie restriction and improved experiences with chemotherapy.

Fast and Cancer Treatment


The potential impact of fasting on cancer treatment continues to be investigated. Those interested should search for the most recently published study results.
