I agree with that, lately the 36-42 hour fasts 2 or 3 times a week is considered enough for weight loss, and anything extended longer than that should be reserved for severe health issues and only done with close doctor supervision. In the new Longevity Book summary, a "Prolonged Fast" is anything more than 24 hours, undertaken with medical supervision.

There are many Fungsters FB pages...the "official" one is the Obesity Code Network. That one is closely moderated, there is an extensive FILE section, and the Moderators post 2 or 3 fasting timetables each week if you want to try one of their protocols, beginner to advanced.
