Is it really fasting though? That's having big lunch and just skipping dinner. Many people do this often unintentionally without calling it fasting at all. You should move at least to 36-40 hours, although even that I don't find particularly special.
- dingaling 6y ago> You should move at least to 36-40 hours That's dangerous internet 'advice' for anyone physically active. For example I can manage two hours before needing to eat again due to physical reaction.

- float4 6y ago> Is it really fasting though? "In a physiological context, [...] a person is assumed to be fasting once 8–12 hours have elapsed since the last meal. Metabolic changes of the fasting state begin after absorption of a meal (typically 3–5 hours after eating)."[0] So yes, it really is fasting. > 36-40 hours, although even that I don't find particularly special Don't make such claims without sources. And for what it's worth: most people don't fast in hope of others finding it special anyway. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting
- Markoff 6y agoTIL my father is pioneer of fasting eating for years just late lunch as single meal per day actually most of the population is fasting by this logic, if you sleep at least 6-8 hours and don't eat right before sleeping and immediately after waking up so sorry for considering this pretty stupid definition of fasting when 80-90% of population is fasting during sleep
- brixon 6y agoThey are referring to intermittent fasting, not regular fasting. A lot of the intermittent fasting talks about the windows of fasting but they still eat everyday.
