fasting

I did not see this thread but I fasted all through tch chemo 48 to 72 hours before 24 after with light meals for two days. LONGO authored a new book that is very interesting with good information . A company he is affiliated with has made a meal plan and packaged it into a kit mimick fasting. The kit is called Prolon and it has been used in clinical studies and can be purchased for aeound $250. There is a similiar kit with a different name they are using in chemotherapy studies.

The one thing I regret is I used the steroils along with fasting so my glucose was always high on th day of chemo. My MO was totally against fasting (2015) so I didn't dare stand up to him and find out if there was a non steroidal option.

I have no idea if fasting did anything but it would have been cool and easier mentally to use the fasting mimiking kit.

I have read books trying to make their own cookbook cheap recipes of the prolonged diet but they aren't tested so if it really mattered such as in chemo I would either water fast or do the Proton kit.
