"It is necessary. There are few. Eating not so often. Eat Vegetable" is a translation of a world-famous book about fasting and the health of Bernard McFadden, the famous founder of bodybuilding. McFadden popularized the practice of fasting and was adamant that fasting was the surest way to physical health. Many of his subjects fasted for a week to rejuvenate their bodies. He wrote: "Man, by means of fasting, can exercise unconditional control over all diseases, while showing a degree of strength and endurance that can put others to shame."
