Fasting 1 Day Per Week

[LifeandDeath]

I see fasting one day per week is a little controversial

I'm training to get a six pack so thinking it could be a good overall way of keeping calorie intake down over the week

Any one doing this out there that can share their reports?

Any tips or hints?

Perhaps warnings against this?

Fasting is very good for you. I do intermittent fasting every day and eat only once - very easy way to be more productive, improve your health and maintain low levels of body fat. However, this is just my personal preference and it's by no means the best solution. 

With that being said, I think everyone should incorporate some intermittent fasting into their routine. Think about it, if you're eating dinner at 8 PM, and then have breakfast at 8 AM, you haven't eaten for 12 hours, but, in reality, you've been in a fasted state for less than 10. And this is put lightly, some people never enter into fasting physiology. 

That's why the general guideline would be to fast for 14-16 hours every day to at least get some benefits of autophagy and cellular detoxification.
