Someone wanted to know whether or not there are any benefits of fasting for 14 hours. They said they eat breakfast at 8 am and fast until dinner at 6 pm. Then, they fast until breakfast the next morning. 

This person is fasting for 10 hours during the day and 14 hours at night. A person can receive benefits from this fasting pattern. However, you may not experience autophagy, which has to do with anti-aging and recycling old proteins. 

Potential benefits of fasting for 14 hours:
• Weight loss 
• Cognitive benefits 
• Mood benefits 
• Reduction in inflammation 

The sweet spot to see some really amazing fasting benefits is to fast between 16 to 18 hours per day. Then, you could go up to 20 hours of fasting and even possibly start consuming one meal per day. With this, you may see more intense benefits and even benefits from autophagy. 

What you may want to do is take advantage of the time that you’re fasting while sleeping and push it further from there. Try to slowly push your first meal from 8 am to 9 am, and from 9 am to 10 am. If you were to consume one meal at 10 am and one meal at 6 pm, you would have 16 hours of fasting. You could do this for a week or two and then push your first meal to 12 pm. This will give you 18 hours of fasting. This could produce amazing benefits.
