Thread for proponents of fasting for health & surfing fitness

Any fans of fasting out there (intermittent fasting or regular extended water fasting)?? Since we are focused on surfing fitness, longevity, and health, especially if we want to continue surfing into our senior years, it seems logical that we seek out and explore different options for achieving health and fitness. Fasting can be one component in a balanced regimen that includes healthy diet and regular exercise.

I chose the thread title bcuz I really don’t want to debate the practice of fasting or explain or justify it to the skeptics, I want to discuss the benefits and maybe share experiences with any who are using, or thinking of using, fasting as a way to better health and fitness.

The swaylocks crew has changed so much over time I really don’t know if there are enough people here to support a thread like this, but I can share my experiences anyway, if there is even a little interest. Otherwise, the thread can fade away into oblivion.

To quote Dr. David Sinclair from page 98 of his book,
“Almost any periodic fasting diet that does not result in malnutrition is likely to put your longevity genes to work in ways that will result in a longer, healthier life.”
There are many variations on that theme.
