Dear Dr Herring
I have tried skipping breakfast but find this hard. I can eat breakast at 6 am and drink tea and coffee and eat again at 6.30pm. Is this any benefit or is fasting for longer more beneficial.
Thanks
Steve
If you’re trying to lose weight, then the only person who can answer this question—Is a 12hr fast enough to be helpful?—is you. If this schedule works for you, and you see steady weight loss without having to fight hunger, then it is a working Appetite Correcting Eating Schedule (ACES) that fits your body, schedule and life as described in my book, AC: The Power of Appetite Correction. If it’s not working for you, then a longer fasting interval is very likely to work better. Most people have a little trouble adapting to a longer fast, but once they get there, find it to be surprisingly easy to maintain. Also, some people have found a 19-hour fast both more effective and easier to maintain than a shorter one. If you’re interested in the benefits of fasting other than weight loss, you might not see much, because you already have one fast per day that’s about the same length (from the time you stop eating at night until breakfast – how long it is depends on how late in the evening you eat.) Everyone is different, so the only way to know with certainty is to see how things go with the unique combination of your body, your schedule, your food choices, your environment, your stress and your habits.
