- earthtourist 7y agoCareful giving medical advice. Fasting can be dangerous in some cases. The advice I got from my doctor is to start with 24 hour fasts. And then try 48 hours. And then probably stop there. (I am not a medical expert)

- czbond 7y agoInteresting - thanks for posting. The difference in cortisol is useful to know about.
- freyir 7y agoA lot of intermittent fasters follow something less extreme: a 16:8 hour fast. You eat normally during an 8 hour window (lunch, a snack, and dinner, for example) and then don't eat for 16 hours (no after-dinner snacks and no breakfast).
