Hi John & A Warm Welcome To Our Community!Jpmb.ic@gmx.com wrote:Great question. I tired to find the same answer. But could not find anything definitive. Hopefully, one day there is a test.
In the meantime I have come to the conclusion to have reasonable confidence I get into autophagy it must be a fast over 48 hours.
It would be logical to assume it would also depend on how healthy/metabolic healthy you are.
So I aim for 4 days, 96 hours. On a relatively strict water fast (only additional electrolytes).
