This week I actually did a 48 hour fast and then two 24 hour fasts. I ate between all of them, and a lot before. I personally find that hunger comes in waves. If you wait out the first wave, it doesn't continue to build. It will leave and then return, like someone interested in you at a bar.

It makes me think that our 3 meals a day culture responds to those initial waves of hunger, and likely leaves of eating more than we need to. Would make sense that there's an overall toll from that on lifespan.

I do 1.5 meals a deal, but I 100% agree, overeating is really terrible for overall lifespan.

How much time between the 48 and 24's? With fasts like that, does the food you eat on resumption matter?

I did one meal in between. I just make sure to eat a balanced meal (fruit and vegetables, proteins, some healthy carbs, healthy fats).

I'm thinking of moving to OMAD (one meal a day). I love eating big meals, and I find it helps my focus to not be thinking about eating during the day. Only challenge is not eating post workout
