Michael Jordan’s answer to the first part didn’t surprise me. “I get paid millions of dollars to play basketball, and I would play it for free, because I love it so much.”

But his answer to the second part shocked and saddened me. Mr. Jordan stated somberly, “The worst part about being me is the downside of fame. My head of security won’t let me take my young kids to amusement parks, because he can’t guarantee their safety.”

Wow, first thing, Michael Jordan had a “head of security” at the time, so he must have had more than one man protecting his family. But how sad that Mr. Jordan had to worry about his young children being kidnapped or harmed while in public, just because he was so famous.

Reduced hunger. Your hunger is reduced during your non-eating windows. Your body gets used to your eating schedule pretty quickly. After a week or two of intermittent fasting, you stop being hungry all the time. Even better results if you avoid the carb-rich foods, which cause an insulin spike. An insulin spike, in turn, crashes your blood sugar, and then guess what - you feel hungry again.

->Insulin sensitivity. It has been shown that intermittent fasting (IF) in humans increases whole-body insulin sensitivity. Which means that you release less insulin after eating, again resulting in less hunger and even less risk for diabetes.
