YellowDragon Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Been looking into fasting more recently and it has been shown to either improve or "cure" seemingly incurable illnesses. There are prolonged fasts (over 72 hours), 3 day fasts, 24 hour fasts, OMAD fasting, then you have the 20/4, 18/6, 16/8, and 14/10 fasting eating cycles which is intermittent fasting. All of them have been shown to be beneficial to some degree. The easiest one for people to follow is having a 10 hour eating window and fasting 14 hours a day. The best benefits start with fasting 16 hours a day. High success is rated with eating one meal a day. Some people choose to do the calorie reduction fasting which you pick 2 days a week where you only eat or drink 500 calories. Those can be beneficial too. Or you do a full 24 hour fast 2 days a week. I think the human body was designed to have fasting periods as a means to rest and repair. I am going to try sticking with the baseline of 14/10 and see how I feel. So I will stop eating at 6PM (my dinner being my last meal) and then eat at 8AM which is usually 30 min after I wake up. This will also cut out most of my snacking which will benefit me too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YellowDragon Posted Friday at 06:25 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 06:25 PM I noticed already that my skin looks brighter and not as sickly. I have a bit of red normally on my cheeks and it has reduced by 30 or 40%. I am still having stomach issues but they feel like they are improving. I will keep at it. Oh, and since starting I have lost about 3 pounds. Not bad for 5 days without working out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
