[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dr Fung doesn’t base his opinions on sound science. There is some evidence that fasting greater than 16+ hrs isn’t ideal for women. I follow a keto diet and do occasionally do a 24 hr fast, mostly as a reset and for the autopahagy. But, I will eat close to my normal calories on that day. If you’re looking to lose fifty lbs, look at calories in/calories out and at the quality of your calories. I lost weight by counting calories and being keto means my calories are more filling and energizing. [/quote]

Oh please.  His science is sound and he also has more clinical experience with women fasting than any other clinician in North America.  Literally more than a thousand women, most of whom very safely and successfully fast beyond 16 hours with only health benefits.  I'm one of them.  I read a lot of the women fasting scaremongering online and then I read about how many women are in Dr. Fung's practice and decided to go with someone with actual real world experience.  I regularly do 16:8's and 18:6's, do usually two 36-42 hour fasts per week, and fast 3-5 days to start each month.  My markers just get better every month, and I feel great.  [/quote]

How long have you been doing this? No offense, but this sounds like an eating disorder. [/quote]
