JB has also recently experimented with intermittent fasting, although he's taken a liking to a once weekly fast, vice the 5x mornings a week I'm liking these days.
How's his fast work?
Personally, I’ve been playing around with a 24 hour fast once per week. Sunday is generally my fasting day. Here’s how I do things:

As JB cautions, fasting isn't for everyone. I usually tell folks they should try to get comfortable just eating paleo for a couple of months before trying a fasting experiment. However, I have a good friend who's recently switched to paleo style low carb, and started a "once per day" approach to eating. In short order he lost 12 pounds and 1.25 inches off of his belly - that's a heck of a start! He reports never being hungry and feeling very, very good. I look forward to hearing how his next marathon training routine goes now that he's shedding the excess fat and restoring his health. I also hope he's one of the 80% of folks who can get rid of their blood pressure medication with carb restriction.
Here's JB's very detailed publication on IF:

Next, we'll tap into JB's advice on post workout nutrition.

- 10 pm Saturday: stop eating
- 9 am on Sunday: 1 multi-, 5 BCAAs, ½ serving greens+ in 1L water, 1 c green tea
- 1 pm on Sunday: same as above
- 5 pm on Sunday: same as above
- 10 pm Sunday: eat a small protein, veggie, legume, and healthy fat meal
