Any real benefits of liquid fasting for only 48 hours?

Answer

If you’re referring to liquids that don’t break ketosis, then yes, 100% there are benefits to 48-hour fasting.

Rough timeline from fastinglane.com:

• 24 hours is when autophagy begins, and ketones are released into the bloodstream.
• 36 hours, autophagy is increased by 300%.
• 48 hours, autophagy increases by 30% more. Immune system reset, and regeneration. Increased reduction in inflammatory response.

It really depends on what your goals for fasting are. But there are definitely health benefits to just 48-hour liquid fasts. I’m in the middle of one right now myself.
