Quote: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.
1 month?! Fucking hell. I don't think i'll try that one. But sounds like he's doing something right with those results!
I just do it from when I eat my last meal. Usually i'll eat around 6:30pm so then I won't eat until 10:30am the next day. All i'll have is water. I'm not sure where you got the waiting for the meal to digest thing as none of the material i've read has mentioned that.
I treat coffee as part of eating in a way as I have milk in it, I haven't tried it while still fasting.
