#2If people are interested in learning more about fasting, I put together a few visual guides on it here - http://impossiblehq.com/nutrition/intermittent-fasting
I also highly recommend the zero fasting app for tracking. Super simple and really clean app that makes tracking fasts simple.
Start small and see how it goes. I find the 16/8 routine tends to work best for me personally with 36 hour fasts sprinkled in every couple weeks.

How do you maintain energy levels through a 36 hour fast?
Edit: Thanks all! This’ll help me progress from 16/8 to consistent longer fasts.

Build up to it from shorter fasts. Pay close attention to caloric intake, it's easy to undereat when fasting. Eventually you will be unable to not maintain energy levels though the fast.

I am relatively adapted to it at this point, so it doesn't bother me as much.
I time it so I start the fast towards the evening and then it ends mid-morning - so you're only really pushing through one full day without food.
I'll have coffee/tea for caffeine and electrolytes seem to help depending on your situation.
Start with several smaller fasts before going full 36 and if you need to eat before the full 36 hours are up, don't kill yourself.
The biggest realization is just coming to terms with how much what a lot of people think of as "hunger" is often just boredom or cravings and not actual hunger. That was eye-opening.

While I haven't done 36, 24 is relatively easy. The idea that your body needs constant food intake is a modern myth. It's mostly your mind that's been programmed to want to eat that often. Also, once you eat the insulin spike triggers the next wave of craving, and so on. Fasting is not the same because you're well, um, fasting.

#7I've been engaging in intermittent fasting to various extents for almost a decade now and am a huge fan of it.
It takes a bit to get used to and should be adapted to over time, but I very much love the feeling of fasting for short periods and the freedom I'm granted to be able to easily skip meals, most commonly breakfast and lunch. I often only eat one meal a day, which saves me time, energy, and money, but I also enjoy the meal more, as I can include large portions of a lot of food groups in my single meal.
That this has many potential health benefits makes this style of eating appear even more appealing. Caloric restriction, although not quite the same as intermittent fasting, does appear to be one of the more promising methods we already have to help promote human longevity.

I have done a couple 36 hour fasts. What broke me was hunger, not low energy. Didn't feel any less energized than usual, really. But resisting the urge to eat after you've been hungry all day and someone puts a meal in front of you is hard.

#10> Epidemiologic data suggest that excessive energy intake, particularly in midlife, increases the risks of stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s
disease.
Would be great to have some new therapies for these terrible diseases.
