sorted by- nutrition (it isn't taught on a medical degree except at surface level)
- fitness
- prevention
They are incentivised to solutionise symptoms every second and issue pills and medications ie crutches.
I could list a bunch more things our schools don't bother teaching like
...investing, taxes, home buying, credit cards & insurance, home repairs, public speaking, car maintenance, stress management, self defence. The country would be a better place if nutrition, fitness and most of the things above were taught - life skills! (edited)
Considering humans probably evolved on a tiny amount of carbs eating berries, meats and leaves. (edited)
After several weeks I noticed I no longer feel hungry or crave food and have actually forgotten to eat sometimes!
I study biomolecular science and I'm mostly interested in fasting for it's ability to extend human life and health span. Fasting triggers certain biological pathways that are evolutionary conserved. They activate a kind of 'survival' state that switches on rapid repair of cells and DNA while recycling old and damaged cells. In case anyone cares! Ha.
the only reason why it’s so popular is because we eat too much and too much crap.
people try a bit of fasting and think they feel better because they haven’t tried just eating less, quality food at higher intervals instead IMO.
not voting either way as I’m sure many people disagree.
Of course proper nutrition is also required and should have even more focus so that you're not leaving any gaps in your nutrition. You can't just eat one massive McDonalds meal a day and think that's going to be good for you.
The mediterranean diet is well proven to be the most beneficial to health and life span. Couple this with fasting and your body will thank you.

much of the science as I can tell is theoretical..
I intermittently fast usually 4 days a week. The other days I just Fancy breakfast so have one.
In the fasting days I don't eat until 6pm, so 18-6 roughly.
Maybe found it hard for the first few days, but that was two years ago. Not super strict, occasional milk in tea etc. But I lost 10kg and have stayed at the same weight since.
I try to eat healthy in my 6 hour period, but often have treats , maybe eat too much, yet still the same weight maintained.
Side note, if I force myself out jogging, I enjoy it twice as much when fasting. It's easier, better times, and can even mix in a few sprints. And I hate jogging.
I shall try to clean my diet up in the winter months, but I can only recommend it. I have read up on the benefits, and will continue, much prefer my caveman life. Less processed food, less grazing, more exercise.
Had a full check up with bloods a few months back, all within spec for my age too.
I suffered from dizzy spells and felt weaker for the 2 days. I also dreaded them and felt like they were an endurance test. I did Mondays and Wednesdays, so I hated Mondays and Wednesdays. Stuck it out though but it didn't get any easier and just wasn't an enjoyable experience for me. Not sure if my body liked it but my mind certainly didn't.
I now exercise most mornings instead using a combo of hiit, weights and cardio. I eat healthily and have reduced my "bad" carbs. I look better and I feel better. Much prefer this to fasting. (edited)
Fasting keeps my weight in balance. Whenever I feel I'm getting overweight I fast and I'm back to my natural BMI zone.
I just do water fasts these days, but eating absolutely nothing for 24-72 hours, only drinking fluids, then you get a whole host of benefits. If you are eating before sun rises and after the sun goes down, you don't actually get many health benefits, though i find i still got some psychological benefits, better discipline and being more conscious of what i am eating.
Delay eating by a few minutes each day...that builds up and your body gets used to it. The body does not like shocks (neither does the brain),.but gentle nudges it doesn't grumble about (see govt nudge unit and what it does).
got 34" trousers and then went down to 32" and lately they have a big gap
highly recommended as has been a real help battling my sugar addiction

Your physical, mental and spiritual benefits are derived from a varied and balanced diet and that's all I know.

I lost 1.5 stone earlier in the year this way, and the weight has stayed off by sticking to the good habits. I make sure I get plenty of exercise too. (edited)
If you are diabetic, then take advice before you go full in on the fasting. You might be better off with time limited or 5-2 rather than going hard core.
Having said that, my husband does full 3 day fasts every now and again and swears by it. He swears at it too. (edited)
