Intermittent fasting: live ‘fast,’ live longer? (medicalxpress.com)

Is eating everything but dinner/supper one day and just dinner/supper the other day and so on an itermittent fasing?


It really comes down to the time between eating vs not. Sustained periods of fasting have different affects, most notably beginning after 4-24 hours but most impactful (for health) between 24-72 hours or more.

Breaking the fast occasionally (ie switching between skipping breakfast or skipping dinner) could be advantageous, as long as you’re still hitting a reasonable length of fast.
