This is certainly interesting, but I’ll wait for more studies before I try any of this on myself, since parts of Taleb’s approach are a bit dangerous, including improper sleep duration and prolonged periods of physical inactivity. Risk-benefit analyses of fasting and infrequent intense exercise are also inconclusive at present.
I’m not sure if he meant prolonged periods of no exercise at all, or (as I suspect) prolonged periods of nothing more intense than long leisurely walks.

Hmmm. Good point. I’d still be careful with sleep duration, though.
