This is a good summary of different types of fasting which newbies might find helpful or indeed for those members who are currently reviewing their fasting plans.

Interesting but I've spotted an error, Brad Pilon promotes a 24 hour fast 1-2 days a week not more.
Quote:
"5-7 times per week – fasts should be between 12 and 16 hours long.
3-4 times per week – fasts should be between 16 and 20 hours long.
1-2 times per week – Fasts should be between 20 and 24 hours long.
1-2 times a month – Fasts should be between 24 and 72 hours long."

I *thought* I had written a fairly comprehensive guide to the different ways of doing IF in the Fasting Library
Start here:
https://www.fastday.com/fasting/how-sho ... t-fasting/and follow the links to a description of each method.
And if you want a summary of the scientific studies on fasting look here:
