I'm currently looking into IF and it's benefits. As far as my understanding goes the fasting gives a break to cells in the body so that they can concentrate on repair and maintenance. It also forces cells to resort to alternative sources of energy for example fat.
So which one has the most benefits I'm wondering:
5:2
18:6
24 hour
Alternative day fasting
Fasting every other day
The fasts that seem to go on for days!
To name but a few!
Can anyone that has tried any one of these please help me by telling me how well you responded and explain how? Maybe your hba1c came down significantly, your cholestrol improved, your IR improved. Or anything else that you benefited by doing the fast.
Many thanks for your help as always.
