People in the control group of this study start with an average BMI of 25.2, the ADF groups with 25.48. Common BMI ranges classify scores greater 25 as overweight. Are there any studies of effect of fasting on normal weight people? Anyone here with a BMI of 20 that has experiences to share?
- tibbar 5y agoMy BMI is 21.0 (6'3", 168lb), and I've done OMAD (one meal a day) intermittent fasting for about a year. Mostly I did it for digestion, which has improved significantly. I would say that it's also helped to control my weight, which would bump up about 10lb otherwise. Effects on energy/focus are mixed: there's less of a mid-day slump, but also I think overall energy levels have been somewhat lower.
- leetrout 5y agoWhats your waist to height ratio at that weight if you dont mind sharing. I am 6'3 300lb and .61 W:H and want to get down to .5
- patall 5y agoThanks for the insight. Losing 10 lb sounds actually like a negative to me since I don't aspire to have a BMI of 18. But I would like to test it for the energy level. Well, maybe I should try it a few Saturdays.
- solarmist 5y agoThey’re starting to study the effect in normal BMI people. But the takeaway I’ve had is that it should have similar benefits as long as you avoid going into ketosis (which is admittedly more difficult the further below BMI 20 you are). https://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1475-2891-12-146?__hstc=133243537.3f89949c75cda0bb2ae1552d2dda8458.1482969600064.1482969600065.1482969600066.1&__hssc=133243537.1.1482969600067&__hsfp=528229161 https://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1475-2...
