Is a 24 hour fast the same as skipping a whole day?
For past 4 days I’ve been eating 24 hours my last meal so like from 8pm on Tuesday to 8pm on Wednesday. Will this have the same effect as eating on Tuesday skipping Wednesday and eating on Thursday?
Since I’m basically eating daily just had me curious if it had less effect than skipping a whole day.
If you think of fasting in term of skipped meals, you’ll notice that in one case, 24h, you skip 2 meals, and in the other you skip 3 (if you eat dinner, then skip all meals of the next day, then eat breakfast the day after)
So no they usually are not the same. It would be 24h vs 36h also know as ADF if you always eat every other day.
Hope it helped!
