Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- One Meal a Day (OMAD): Fast for 24 hours daily by eating just one meal. Simple to implement.
- 5-Day Modified Fast: Do a longer fast (5 days) with minimal calories to ease adherence while retaining benefits.
- Combine both short (24-hour) and long (5-day) fasting protocols for flexibility and sustained results.
Notable Quotes
“I sort of do a bit of both, both the short and the long.”
Bottom Line
Alternate between OMAD (24-hour fasts) and occasional 5-day modified fasts for a balanced fasting approach that’s sustainable and effective.
