The Science of Fasting

I understand and it reads that way to me as well. I think the key take away for me is that the main benefit of intermittent fasting is the calorie restriction and associated health improvements. However, the deeper changes like autophagy and gene expression require extended fasting.

Like you said, you could have gotten more than 12 people from this very thread who would be interested in being part of a study, that is another thing that makes me very skeptical as well. A 12 person study is as good as anecdotal.

According to google roughly 10% of the US population are doing intermittent fasting(which is much higher than I would have thought(good job people)). That is roughly 33 million people. Imagine how much money in sales that is costing the food industry.
