After a decade of 5:2 fasting, research for my latest post broke me.
I’ve examined the latest research on fasting, and here’s what I found:
-
Meal Skipping Risks: Skipping meals, especially dinner, can increase the risk of premature death by up to 16%. Eating only one meal a day (OMAD) raises this risk by 30%.
-
Compressed Eating Windows: Eating meals less than 4.5 hours apart increases mortality risk by 17%, challenging the idea that a narrower eating window is always beneficial.
-
Fasting vs. Calorie Restriction: Fasting doesn't offer more advantages than traditional calorie restriction. Its main benefit is calorie control, which can be achieved through other methods.
