Yes, autophagy is supposed to max out at around 72h, longer is still beneficial but at what costs (and I'm the one who loves to eat).

I think frequency, I do a 72 hour every month, is more beneficial than prolonged fasting. Kidney damage is a real threat with fasting that borders starvation.
I have tried 72h each week, it worked well except the cortisol induced insomnia.
I think OMAD is sustainable, one meal every 48 hours for gradual weight loss, autophagy, a fast over 36 hours once a month is pretty conducive to wellness…72 every week is almost never eating and starvation is damaging. 😊 Eat anything and as much as you want once every 24 hours most days! Eating is great!
yep. I did this for 18-24mths and you can find a really comfortable rhythm with it
