> I can't deny any scientific evidence, but from my actual experience it hasn't seemed to be an issue.
To clarify, my post wasn't passing judgement, merely passing along information. While not everyone on this subreddit is equally on board with Dr. Fung's findings and methodologies, he is considered to be one of the leading authorities on the subject, and his two books and Intensity Dietary Management clinic and program are very highly regarded and well-respected.
It's not just Dr. Fung though; I haven't read them for a while, but I'm fairly certain that Dr. Krista Varady and Dr. James Johnson also advise in their respective books that fasting is not recommended for those under the age of 18, unless perhaps under the recommendation and close supervision of a doctor.
In like kind, these same "fasting authorities" also strongly advise that fasting isn't safe or recommended for people taking certain medications, or with particular medical conditions, or for women who are breastfeeding or pregnant. So it's not about dismissing anecdotal experiences of others, or withdrawing support from anyone, but it's a matter of safety and well-being.

In a nutshell 500 on fast days, eat what you want on up days. https://www.facebook.com/groups/alternatedayfasting This facebook group is friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. The group tends to skew middle age mostly because it works pretty brilliantly for us in the perimenopausal/menopausal crowd.
Notes
The Every-Other Day Diet^TM isn't seen much around here but the summary is eat normally one day, eat only 500 Cal the next. The 500Cal is preferably a single meal but it's OK to spread it out. It's Alternate Day Fasting with a meal thrown in on the fasting day. The author of the book on it has plenty of research articles on it.
I'm doing a modified version to match my needs. For the "fast" day meal I'm having a 6 egg scramble with garlic and salt. On the other day I don't have a calorie limit but am only having middle bacon and high fat minced/ground beef.
So so far it's been:
So it's a keto/carnivore factor but even then narrowing it down much further to just eggs, bacon & mince. This is mostly to help further limit my calorie intake (it's hard to eat even 1,200Cal of mostly mince) but also to keep my blood glucose & insulin as low as possible.
i just got this book and it's been awesome for me. lost almost 10 pounds and started on 1/11. Plus the book was 3.00 plus change on Amazon. Its a quick read...alot of recipes which take up alot of space. one detail, i keep keto and do NOT eat "whatever i want" on eating days. i count calories, but if i am hungry, i eat something keto. i don't sit around starving :) I didn't believe the hunger would go away but for me anyway it did just as the author said.
