The largest clinical study of its kind to look at the effects of strict alternate-day fasting in healthy people has shown a number of health benefits. The participants alternated 36 hours of zero-calorie intake with 12 hours of unlimited eating...Overall, they reached a mean calorie restriction of about 35% and lost an average of 3.5 kg [7.7 lb] during four weeks of ADF.

Chinese for me. :)
Works very well and you feel better fast.
I do 18:6 Daily.
If you eat a lot of carbs in your eating window, it’s going to make fasting very difficult with the blood sugar spikes. That’s why they recommend combining IF with a Low-Carb or Keto Diet, so level out your blood sugar and make it easier to do.
Golden Corral does have steak...
New innovative form of eating disorder. I like it!
Bkmk
More fad diets. These people will never get it.
This is basically your Naked and Afraid Starvation diet.
Your body is telling it that you’re in the wilds, and foraging for food. This releases your bad genes, that accelerate aging.
In summary: I’d say an occasional fast as is limiting your caloric intake, but this is a spin on a starvation diet, that over long term will be more harmful to you.
Plus, fast for 36 hours? Are you nuts?
The study was for only 4 weeks? Like I said, it’s the Naked and Afraid diet.

It’s basically, skip a day and don’t eat first thing in the morning.
I tried a five day fast a few months ago. It worked really well. It was long enough that I was careful regarding the re-feeding phase. The next one will be for two weeks.
I fast in between meals.
Nah, Its just proving that humans aren’t supposed to have food in their digestive tract 24/7. We aren’t supposed to make our endocrine digestive enzymatic systems run non stop. People should understand that all systems in the body need rest...
I was directing a clinical study on fasting using various lab animals but they all died.... :/
Me too, if you don't count the beer.
You can “endure” and diet for 4 weeks. The trick is to change the lifestyle. Americans eat terribly, because the processed foods are high in sugar. Obesity is rampant.
All of these diets work in the short term. The ones that still work a year later require re-education and breaking of bad eating habits.
This kind of diet over time, unleashes the “bad genes” in your body. Their mission is to take you out, and not let you procreate.
