I get this question a lot, probably due to the fact I do variations of Intermittent Fasting and like to experiment with different protocols, so I thought I would write a blog post about it and give my 2 cents. IF for me is a great way to get some huge health benefits from abstaining from food through increasing autophagy. Autophagy is your body’s way of getting rid of dead cells and other shit you don’t need, sort of like a ‘detox’ Now we know that exercise increases autophagy too so fasting for the sole benefit of this biological process is kind of moot.
