On the hunter gatherer theme I practice alternate day fasting. This is where you eat normally every alternate day and limit your food intake to 600-700 calories on your 'off' days.
The theory being that hunter gatherers when going to hunt wouldn't eat every day, but might be out for a couple of days subsisting on berries and fruit. I aim to try and do a off,off,on pattern when I get used to this.
Yes, I've heard that too, and have done it a few times but not regularly. Another way of stating it: make your food intake frequency vary like a power law distribution, with a day or more of relative fasting interspersed with spikes of glutony, rather than keeping it constant.
