Fasting Study: A classification of Fasting and Nutritional Strategies (2020) | Buchinger Wilhelmi

Fasting, especially intermittent fasting, is currently the subject of numerous scientific publications.
The review “Unravelling the health effects of fasting: a long road from obesity treatment to healthy life span increase and improved cognition” published recently in the journal Annals of Medicine explores the positive effects of fasting in animals and humans in detail.
The focus is above all on long-term fasting (5, 10, 15, 20 days or more) as practiced at the Buchinger Wilhelmi clinics. The key mechanism of fasting is the metabolic switch from absorbing glucose supplied by food intake to utilizing ketones and the body’s own fat deposits. This switch goes hand in hand with a change in the genetic programme of humans: If there is no food intake for more than 12-16 hours, genetic signaling pathways are either deactivated or activated to trigger fasting mode.

An important part of the work deals with the classification of different forms of fasting and restrictive nutritional strategies. The review provides an overview of the latest international publications as well as older publications, e.g. from the 1960s to 1970s, when a zero calorie diet, an (extreme) form of fasting, was applied for weeks or even months to reduce weight in extremely obese subjects. Regular long-term fasting in combination with intermittent fasting or time restricted eating may become part of a new medical paradigm for the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases.

Scientists from the Buchinger Wilhelmi Clinic, the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, the Dyslipidemia Center in Milan and the University of Milan were involved in the present work.
