Put together by Brad Pilon, Eat Stop Eat is really basic:
- Once or twice a week, don’t eat for 24 hours.
- Start your fast in the morning, at lunch, or at dinner. It doesn’t matter as long as you don’t eat for 24 hours.
- Break your fast with a “normal-sized meal.” Don’t try to make up for the lost calories by feasting.
- Exercise regularly.
Who should try it?
People interesting in fasting for the therapeutic benefits (cancer protection, autophagy, life extension, etc.) would probably get a lot out of this method, as opposed to people interested in the body composition benefits.
Going a full 24 hours without food is a much tougher slog than going for 16 hours. In my experience, going lower-carb and higher-fat makes longer fasts easier, so I’d have to say a low-carb Primal eater would do better than most.
*I don't want to do this but am going to once a week. I had a nice breakfast and will not eat again until tomorrow morning. Don't get near me, bitches."
