Researchers Look to Fasting as a Next Step in Cancer Treatment

... When patients asked Jethro Hu, MD, co-director of Neuro-Oncology at Cedars-Sinai, whether dietary changes could stall disease progression, he used to tell them that evidence is limited. But over time, he began noticing that patients who adopted a ketogenic diet of their own accord sometimes fared better. ...
Not exactly news, but that it is being put out by a pretty mainstream source (Cedars-Sinai) is significant.
Thanks. I may try to increase the fast time once I adjust to my current routine. I still find I'm hungry about 14 hours into the fast.
14-hours is about when your body runs out of food in digestion mode and switches over to starvation mode. Once in starvation mode, the body recycles itself to keep going (meaning breaking down bad tissues to reuse). The reason they recommend 16-hours is because it gives you 2-hours a day of turbo breaking down of bad tissue. The 14-hour hump is what is hard to overcome, but once you overcome it, it gets easier and easier.
