And when people skip eating like this, they compensate by overeating. If you 3500 kcal one day, skip eating the next, and thusly continue and thereby affect your metabolism, you will get fatter than if you just ate 2000 kcal a day.

The original post was made tounge-in-cheek. I mean, it definitely works, as I said I've lost 27 kg (60 lbs) using it, but it's kinda "hard-core", definitely not for everyone.
Hardcore is not the word I'd use. I'm pretty hardcore. In fact, sitting around not eating is pretty much the antithesis of hardcore.
