Fasting, in its various types, appears to reduce colon cancer by 20%.

I know some people who are doing 5+ days fasts, using the Prolon fast mimicking diet, and it has helped them further reduce weight and resolve a few other issues. It looks like six times through it, over six months, can cause a reduction of 21+ pounds and an insulin sensitivity improvement of 60%. It is a proven way to have autophagy and subsequent stem cell regrowth of healthy tissue occur.

When you have a full stomach, 50% of your body’s energy is focused on digestion. When you fast, your body can use that liberated energy to repair things.

isn’t part of this working also because sugar is the primary source for cancer to survive?

Its great for a number of reasons.

Do you have any recommendation for a less demanding fast that might still have some benefits?

People with diabetes, on certain medications, or with a history of eating disorders should avoid it without medical guidance.

I had diabetes before I took up fasting. I am no longer diabetic. My endocrinologist was very much against fasting. He has begun changing his mind.

I’m locked into eating five small meals a day to get enough protein to maintain muscle mass. I’m over 60 so I’m even more paranoid about losing it. Fasting makes a lot of sense, I’m just not sure how to implement it.

So if someone stops eating, they won’t die of colon cancer?
