Fasting is a really good thing to do for long term health. I did fasting every other day when I was in my 20s but life got in the way and I ended up going back to regular meals. Since the beginning of winter, I have begun the process of getting back to every other day fasting. I'm currently intermittent fasting with one decently portioned meal per day to get adjusted to a change in daily caloric intake when I switch to fasting for more than 24 hours. I can tell that there has been a change in my metabolism and overall health and energy. In a couple of weeks I think I can switch over and do the every other day thing again. I know it will do wonders for me and I'm kind of kicking myself for not going back to fasting for more than a couple of decades. I feel so much better and I know that will improve more when I cut over to full fasting. I am also taking the necessary vitamin and mineral supplements that work best for me so I won't go into a state where my tissues get attacked as my body scavenges for the required building blocks needed during fasting days. I hope I can stick with this for a much longer time now since this really is a good thing to do.
