Diabetes aside, what do people here think about fasting in general, maybe a day or two every week?

What are the benefits?

Reduced calorie diets are shown to improve longevity. There is this book called 5:2 which I’ve read that says there is way to get the same effects by reducing caloric indicate twice a week. 500 calories for women and 600 calories for men. You’ll have to read the book to understand the why behind it. I did follow that diet to lose weight. It was much easier to only have to use will power some days of the week than all.

Humans are built for fasting occasionally, this is how humans lived for thousands of years before refrigeration or supermarkets

I’ve eaten just one meal a day for 9 months now and have lost 40 pounds. There are numerous benefits...just search for “intermittent fasting “ or “one meal a day”.

I occasionally fast as I feel it cleanses and detoxes

Sackcloth, prayer and fasting go very well together
