Nutrition Fasting: the new coffee

[ali]

Nearly coughed my fry up breakfast over the newspaper this morning. Yes, so old fashioned that I still read newspapers. I predict the next thing in the twilight zone of dietary diatribe.....will be the non fasting diet.
Fasting is going to be the new coffee on the dietary block, the honeymoon period is over and it's bad. This week anyway. It'll be back on the menu again next week I'm sure where it will be proclaimed as a miracle cure for toe fungus. Anyway I like a good food fight....

Fasting diets may raise risk of diabetes, researchers warn

Well it fills up some column inches and doesn't involve a royal wedding.....

This is important - rats fasting for 24 hours is like humans fasting (starving) for 2-3 weeks.

It’s basically a study saying there are negative health effects with starvation. Duh!

So if you do 16:8 or a 24-hour fast once a week, there is nothing to worry about.
