A Personal Look at Fasting

My personal experiment with periodic, intermittent fasting, with references to scientific studies as well as a regular record of personal observations. A highly personal look at controversial health advice spurred by my own quest to be healthier and lose weight. The results are surprising!

About the Author

I have written since I was in grade school, though mostly fiction. I have worked in IT since 1992 and has maintained at least one blog since 2000, back before blogging software, as such, even existed and had to code each page and post in a text editor. Besides struggling with fiction writing, my other hobbies include photography, computer security, movies and search engine optimization. For many years, my first blog, Diary of a Network Geek, was the number one hit on Google for the search terms “network geek".

I am also a cancer survivor, having Non-Hodgkin's, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in 2007, which is when I really gained a greater interest in health and diet as well as a new, more open, attitude about trying new things and experimenting to find what works in my life.

Oh, and of course, check out the blog, where I used to post quite regularly, and the photo galleries, which are fairly stale, I have to admit. They'll still occasionally update though, so keep an eye out.

By the way, if you're looking for the 9/11 "researcher" (aka Truther, aka nutty conspiracy theorist), I'm not that "Jim Hoffman". You can find out about the "other" Jim Hoffman at Wikipedia. Also, I'm not the James Hoffmann who reviews coffee, though, his YouTube channel is definitely worth a look if you love coffee and I'm not the Western genre writer J K Hoffman, either.

If you sign up for my newsletter, I promise I won’t hammer you with daily emails that have no substance. In fact, for right now, I promise I won’t send more than one per month. And, eventually, I’ll have content that I’ll offer free for new sign-ups, but if you sign up now, I’ll make sure you get it before that content is offered here. Honest. My name is right on the website, so you can trust me. I promise!
