Some of them I have followed too much to the extreme so I quit after a little while, that's why adjustment to your own style helps. Body starts breaking down muscle after 24h-48h of fasting, the people who told you otherwise haven't done their research. What I love most about living this way is that your mind stays clear and sharp as opposed to eating every 3 hours on the clock. Have you noticed the difference in that area?
I never tried the 24/48 hour version. I'm liking 16/8 so plan to stick to it.
Hmm, I can't say I have noticed much with my mind being sharper doing this. Maybe I just am not aware of it as i've been doing it for a fair while now.
My grandpa does a 1 month fast every year, I can only imagine how tough that is. He only drinks water during that time. But you would be surprised how great of a shape he's in, he looks like he's barely 40 although he's 60 and more energy than an average 30 year old.
By the way how do you calculate the 16/8? Because the last meal takes about 8 hours to digest and that's when the fasting actually starts.
Another thing I have noticed is that coffee gives me a much bigger boost while I'm fasting.
