[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 2092913, member: 232698"] Hi [USER=454478]@Dexterdobe[/USER] - I've done my homework very thoroughly, and don't feel in danger of muscle wasting. Extended fasting is increasingly recognised as the way to access and use the body's fat stores. As Jason Fung puts it - if humans lost muscle every time they missed more than a couple of meals, we'd have died out as a species long, long ago. Humans evolved to fast and feast, but in the past century in many parts of the world we have completely dropped the fasting, and followed the urgings of Big Food to eat not only three meals a day but also to snack throughout the day. That often means weight gain as our bodies store fat for leaner times - which nowadays never come for many of us. So I'm choosing to have leaner times - for me to access my body fat as fuel, shorter fasting times are not as effective as longer ones. [/QUOTE]
