    anyone here have experience with weekly fasting for 48 hours? i'm trying to incorporate a bit more into my intermittent fasting routine and wanted to know peoples experiences


    Fasting is really good for the body, not sure why some people are saying it’s not.

    Are you aiming to fast the body for 48hr straight? If you want long term benefits it’s easier to train the body by doing longer fast (5 days) but eating nutritious meals by the end.
    Also you would know your body the best and might be a good idea to talk to your doctor as they’ll know your medical history and can advise better.

    Personally I unintentionally fast... as in I’ll eat my dinner at 6pm after work and then not eat anything til the next day around 8-10am, on the weekends I don’t eat till midday.
    A colleague does intermittent fasting similar to me, eats dinner at 8pm and break fast next day around 2-4pm.

    I pasted below on something I’ve found online, might be of use:

    Fasting Improves Your Immune System
    Intermittent fasting improves the immune system because it reduces free radical damage, regulates inflammatory conditions in the body and starves off cancer cell formation.

    In nature, when animals get sick they stop eating and instead focus on resting. This is a primal instinct to reduce stress on their internal system so their body can fight off infection. We humans are the only species who look for food when we are ill, even when we do not need it.

    Am not sure if I'd want to commit to a 5 day fast I feel like maybe someday but not yet. I am incorporating 48 fast because I do want to give my body a break to do its thing as oppose to constantly dealing with digestion. On a day to day basis I do IF/OMAD I tend to fast for 20-23 hours a day and have one meal a day.
