Time restricted eating (skipping breakfast or eating within designated time of day) is not the same as fasting. True biological fasting only begins to happen after 24-30 hours of being free from food. At a minimum, a genuine fast must activate at least phase one of your body’s survival mode.

I’ve been studying and experimenting with time restricted eating and fasting for the past couple of years and only recently have begun doing extended fasts (5 days). If you’re interested in learning more about the different types of fasting out there, I’m teaching a class on Thursday, March 14th at 6pm. Go HERE for more details.
