"running cool," i.e. eating so that you are at the bottom of your metabolic range.

I'm not sure whether I'm running cool, but usually I loose weight if I don't make sure that I eat enough. I don't feel hunger easily and on top of that I'm a picky eater. An enviable mutation in our society I guess.

Probably it can take years or even decades for the effects of one's diet to manifest themselves.

I didn't mean the effect of my overall diet. I'm quite confident that it's healthy. I meant the effect of the fasting. To reliably detect if something goes wrong quickly or slowly.

Yes, there's a huge problem with people whose natural instincts lead them to regularly overeat.

I didn't mean the effect of my overall diet. I'm quite confident that it's healthy. I meant the effect of the fasting. To reliably detect if something goes wrong quickly or slowly.

I would include fasting in the concept of one's diet. That's what I meant anyway.
