DO 48HR FASTs DO ANY GOOD?

[Pink4eva]

Am 2 weeks into LCHF and IF, usually do 18:6 or 20:4, did a t 48hr fast last week, about to complete another one, are these longer fast doing any good?

Yes - they are great for Autophagy, weight loss, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome...

I used to feast 72 hours each month - I might start again soon.

Fasting (or longer fasting IF) can be a great way to get off weight-loss plateaux.

Hi, thank you for replying, not sure how often I should do 48hr fasts. Is doing 48 hrs once a week more beneficial than one 72hr fast a month? Have been reading lots of info, but not sure. Lovely photo by the way.

One methodology is ADF, or Alternate Day Fasting... you could eat two, three or four days a week.
