Though I don’t fast, the occasional day-long fast seems to have some benefits for those who are into it. If they like it, I’m okay with it. As a diet fad (as with all diet fads), not recommended.
I have been on the 5-2 system for 5 years now. Any 2 days eat less than 600 calories and the rest of the week eat what you want. My blood work has shown massive improvement (which was my goal) and I have maintained a healthy weight since then (an added bonus). Some call it the 5-2 diet but it does not feel anything like a diet, it is more a life choice, plus I can really enjoy the 5 days without any guilt whatsoever.

I prefer slowing. Longer enjoyment.

Are there hard and fast rules to intermittent fasting?

You said that too fast. Can you repeat that?

Is it possible to fast too fast?

Don’t break your fast with a feast.

Forget “fasting”. I’m “slowing”.

I practice that also. I fast between meals, as we all do. Best of both worlds and all that.
