James Bond - The Most Interesting Intermittent Faster in the World?

Ian Fleming, the author of the original James Bond works, intended the character to be dull and unassuming.  Fleming, who wrote the Bond novels from his Goldeneye chateau in Jamaica, created the James Bond name after a well known Caribbean ornithologist and renown bird expert.  As those that have seen the Bond movies or read the books, James Bond is anything but dull and unassuming.  In fact, seeing the recent Dos Equis ads featuring the self-proclaimed "most interesting man in the world",  I think James Bond was that exact man about 50+ years before Dos Equis donned the term.  Amongst his wit, charm, intellect, looks and sense of humor, Bond was fit.  He was and is most often portrayed as a runner or swimmer, both activities that are terrific forms of exercise.  I've always been a fan of running, as it forces you to carry your weight and your body in a dynamic state of motion.  Of course, swimming is another solid exercise, allowing less stress on the joints and body while still giving a great workout.   James Bond had the gift of doing both very well.


As intriguing as his exercise prowess, Bond also showed us his eating habits.  Speaking of birds, James Bond usually ate like one.  Since today's literature, internet and television is loaded with nutrition and philosophies, a case could be made that James Bond may have been an intermittent faster (I.F.).  If you aren't familiar with intermittent fasting, you can read more here.   In addition to his on the go lifestyle, I.F. may have helped further to keep Bond fit and in top notch form.
