The FastDay Forum

Hi All, I just read this.I suppose this is what I was tring to get at.

Your intermittent fasting regimen must make sense. The length of your fasting intervals should be optimized to yield maximum biological impact. What really counts is your net fasting time (period between meals minus digestion time.) It takes your body roughly 5-8 hours to fully digest a meal and shift into a fasting mode. Three to six hours of "not eating" between meals will not be sufficient to put your body in a fasting mode and therefore will fail to get you the results you're looking for.

This is another Mercola article.

Aha! Now we understand what he meant! So even the 12 hours between meals that Dr M does on a fast day gives plenty of chance for fat burning.

it does look that way Caro, so am having my late brekky shortly .Aiming for 11 am.
