Intermittent Fasting

I have been intermittent fasting for years now. It really does help with losing the excess skin from weight loss.
I do a modified KETO diet and use raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the mother as well, although not as often as I used to. And I make a mean whole lemon lemonade energy and health drink. But with all of this, I really believe the intermittent fasting is helping me a lot.
Intermittent fasting creates a bodily function known as autophagy which literally means the body eating itself. Now as strange as that seems, it is not eating anything good in our bodies. It eats things unnecessary, such as toxins, dead cells, etc. It turns out it also eats the floppy excess skin that comes from weight loss.
Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2016 for the Prize motivation: “for his discoveries of mechanisms for autophagy”. You can read more at this link:

I don't know if it fits into the realm of 'fasting' but I often don't eat from dinner at night till about 11am next day. However, I now need to have breakfast to take tablets but then I don't eat till dinner at about 7pm.

No, I don't fast. Interesting that it gets rid of excess skin. Enjoy your weekend.
