[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dh has been doing an extreme form of intermittent fasting for about 6 weeks. He has been losing weight but also seems to be pushing himself too hard and is frequently tired, lightheaded and hungry, all of which he complains about to me but he refuses to eat and says he “knows what he is doing”. I haven’t read the books he has read on this but does anyone with experience with this want to weigh in on how best ito support him? I’m worried he’s going to do too much. He’s working out and [b]not eating for 24 hours, 5 days in a row[/b], every 4 weeks. [/quote]

What?  This isn't intermittent fasting.  This is starving for five days/120 hours.

Agree.  Either we're misreading this or PPs above are.

Rather than eating two days a week, I would suggest calorie restriction for 3-5 days a week, with lots of protein.  Or really, any sort of diet that involves eating rather than starvation.  That's unsustainable, obviously, and veering really far into disordered eating territory.[/quote]
