Does intermitting fasting induces autophagy?

Hi guys, I'm totally new to this. Searching on google has left me a little confused, some people write about intermittent fasting being good cause it induces autophagy, but other sources say yo need somewhat from 24 to 48 hours of fasting for it to occur. I think this is the best place for me to ask this question. So, what is it?

Answer

Autophagy kicks in about 18 hours in. IF is practiced a multitude of ways. Some do 20:4 some do 16:8. OMAD usually means 23:1. It’s all about how long you fast for Autophagy.

My IF schedule which isn’t easy but has worked wonders for me:
