Intermittent Fasting and Health – What’s the Scientific Evidence?

663 Views 4 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Bunjee
An article from Dr Axel F Sigurdsson (Doc's Opinion) on intermittent fasting, an 11 minute read.

Although we have recently seen tremendous progress in the development of medical treatments for metabolic disorders and obesity, I still believe that nutritional and lifestyle measures are key to long-term success. As such, intermittent fasting is an exciting approach that, if used sensibly, is likely to reduce body weight and improve metabolic health. Animal studies have even suggested that it may promote healthy aging and increase longevity.

This article aims to answer several essential questions about intermittent fasting and the current scientific evidence supporting its benefits.

Thank you for this helpful article, @mbuster. I've recently started intermittent fasting and feel as if I'm getting good results. I miss @NSDad126--I wasn't interested in IF when he was posting, but I remember his posts.

I don't think I could do the longer fasts. I mostly skip my night meal and sometimes breakfast.
I will say that it has done wonders for my blood sugar. Also, I think I sleep better without so much food at night.
