One small but revealing study found that subjects on an alternate-day fasting (ADF) diet did lose weight-but they also lost more lean mass (i.e. muscle) than subjects who simply ate 25% fewer calories every day. This study was limited because of its small size and short duration, but it suggests that fasting might cause some people, especially lean people, to lose too much muscle. On top of this, the ADF group had much lower activity levels during the study, which suggests that they were not feeling very good on the days they were not eating. [2023] - Peter Attia
