Effects of short-term fasting on cancer treatment

I don't know; I did forget to add that I cut out all alcohol as well. Maybe doing both 16/8 fasting and eating super clean, super healthy, was synergistic?

There's a reasonable chance that cutting out the alcohol was responsible for a huge chunk of the changes you experienced. At best, it's an extremely confounding factor

Thing is I don't drink that often. Maybe two or three times a month, and not heavy drinking either... just a few pints after a Meetup or a glass of wine with a restaurant meal.

Cutting alcohol is likely responsible for a pretty large calorie reduction, a pint of beer is ~200 Kcalories...
