Some very interesting findings in this study. Over the course of two years participants who were part of the fasting group showed a weight loss of 10% on average as well as improved perceptions of quality of life, energy, sleep quality and libido.

Is fasting right for you? That depends and it is an idea that you and your health care professional should discuss as what works for some may not be right for you.
