    >..."might increase the risk of gallstone disease"... I do 18:6 intermittent fasting and I did have a gallstone episode. My intuition is that fasting precipitated the expulsion of stones that had formed prior to the onset of my fasting regimen. Also, while practicing intermittent fasting, I think I have a tendency to overeat during my main meal of the day, maybe as a subconscious attempt to avoid feeling hungry later on. To avoid overeating, I need to be mindful to stop eating while I still feel slightly hungry. The following blog post is consistent with my experience: https://gallstonesdiet.net/can-intermittent-fasting-cause-gallstones/ https://gallstonesdiet.net/can-intermittent-fasting-cause-ga...

      > To avoid overeating, I need to be mindful to stop eating while I still feel slightly hungry For me the trick is to eat really slowly, even if I'm hungry.

    Is there anything you can do to counter the effect?
