Although not as proven as a cure for cancer, intermittent fasting has been shown to enhance your treatment and boost your odds of survival. Several randomized controlled trials have shown that it can reduce side effects such as nausea and fatigue.
Popular intermittent fasting plans include the 16/8 method, in which you fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window, and the 5:2 method, in which you restrict your calorie intake for two non-consecutive days per week.
Once you have gone 24 hours without eating anything, your body will start using fat stores. It does this through a process known as starvation ketosis. During this period, ketones are produced from the fats your body doesn’t use.
