Fasting

I am thinking of fasting for a week maybe a few times a year. Apparantly The Fasting Mimicking Diet is best for an IBD rather than 48 hours or similar amount of hours.

Has anyone tried fasting and got any tips please?

yes I do a 4 day FMD every month in the hope of autophagy and the repair systems kicking in to mend my body. It’s basically 5 days of 600-700 cals all from veg. Just finishing one now and feeling good. Loads on the web to help you xx
