The truth about intermittent fasting — when it helps, when it harms, and who should never do it.
Anyone curious about fasting who wants the real science. Anyone who's tried it and felt worse. Anyone being sold a 72-hour fast on Instagram who deserves a second opinion first.
Most of the benefit of intermittent fasting comes from eating your last meal by 7pm and your first by 10-11am the next morning. That's 12-16 hours of not eating. You don't need extreme. Extreme breaks more than it builds for most people.
After 8-12 hours without food, insulin drops and your body switches from burning stored sugar to burning fat. After 16-24 hours, autophagy ramps up — your cells start cleaning out damaged components. After 48-72 hours, stem cell renewal increases. Each phase has tradeoffs.
I'll tell you honestly which phases are worth chasing for your body and which aren't.
Women under 60kg with a history of disordered eating. Type 1 diabetics and type 2 on insulin or sulfonylureas. Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. Anyone with a history of eating disorders. Adolescents. Anyone underweight.
Fasting is a tool. It's not for everyone, and I'll tell you the truth about whether it's right for you.
How you break a fast matters as much as the fast itself. Go straight to carbs and you spike insulin, undo the benefit, and often feel worse. I give you a structured refeed for every fasting length — protein and fat first, fibre early, carbs gentle and later.
