The 180 Days: The Mount Athos Way of Eating

By Jim Glavas

For over a thousand years, the monks of Mount Athos have followed one calendar - and modern science is only now discovering what it does to the body.

They count no calories. They own no kitchen scales. They eat by the rhythm of the Orthodox fasting year - roughly 180 days of fasting, 180 days of feasting - and researchers who studied them found optimal cholesterol, blood sugar, and body composition.

The 180 Days is not another diet plan. It is the real calendar the monks actually follow, opened up for your own kitchen:

The authentic fasting year, explained simply - the four great fasts, the weekly rhythm, the feast days - not a watered-down version.Genuine Athonite recipes, traceable to the documented monastic tradition - fasolada, revithada, horta, gigantes, octopus, monastery bread, and more.The peer-reviewed science, presented honestly - what the research shows, and what it does not.A calendar you can begin at any level - one fasting day a week, one short fast, or simply cooking these dishes for their own quiet excellence.

You do not have to become a monk. You have only to begin.
