I didn't know how important fasting is and how it's a health benefit. My parents had alzheimers and I've always been fearful of getting it too. A real eye opener for me. Also, that it takes 12 hours of a fast to begin burning fat.

Glycogen levels are depleted in 10-12 hours and after that ur fat burning till the next meal. He states to reduce calories to 500 for 2 days. You mentioned to have a cheat day which would increase your calorie intake. Have you tried this way or do you feel it works the same since calories are restricted from OMAD already?0

It all averages out, no matter how it's done. A complete fast is wonderful, but the ordinarily OMAD fast is conducive to weight-loss better than a complete fast.

Because with complete fasting, your metabolism's activity level will drop in an effort to save calories and losses will be super slow. But with the normal daily OMAD meal, the metabolism is kept running, thereby averting the problem (and hijacking the principle for our smarter exploitation).0 -

I just watched this video last night and got inspired again.
Best quotation from this video:
