Getting into fasting and mostly Vegan ? The following maybe of your interest .

the sad side of fasting

Treat fasting as a CRON (caloric restriction with adequate nutrition ) for insulin control and optimal nutrition. So dont overdo it to lose all your minerals, fats, and nutrients .


CRON
has been proven to prolong lifespan but i'm not so sure about fasting .

Quote:
CR is not the same as "going on a diet," or simply eating less, or starving oneself. Rather, it is a lifestyle set of low-Calorie, highly nutritious dietary choices -- based on the best available scientific evidence -- with specific goals in mind: avoidance of late-life diseases, improved physical fitness and late-life appearance, and, possibly, significant life-extension.
