I am a 20-something living and working in Seattle, WA. Zach, who is frequently mentioned in the blog, is my fiancé and is the reason we started this experiment with alternate day fasting (ADF).
I have never followed a diet before. I frankly love eating. Being from the Pacific Northwest, I enjoy a microbrew or two now and then. So this whole eating a tiny meal every other day is a challenge. However, I am willing to give this alternative eating pattern a try since I would like to avoid the diseases in my family history that are waiting for me as I age including: diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol.
I am highly interested in food and eating. My parents currently work and have worked in the fields of food science, food production, and medicine. I myself, back when I was in high school, presented my junior year biology project on the blood type diet at the Washington Junior Science and Humanities Symposium. That diet is based on a bunch of pseudoscience (and possibly a little racism). That was my only formal exploration of nutrition and dieting up until starting ADF.
This is my third blog. My first was about my cross-country road trip from Maryland back to Washington state. The second was about a 4-day beer road trip exploring 12 different breweries across in SW Washington and Oregon.
