3 day fasting once a month vs. alternate day fasting for 1 week a month?

[Verihe28]

I have a pretty simple question and wanted some opinions
I’ve been learning a lot about fasting and I have a question on what would be more effective overall when it comes to all the benefits of fasting if you had to choose between three day fasting once a month or alternate day fasting for one week per month?

I would take the whole 3 days fasting so you can clean up the system
most health benefits of fasting is after 48 hours

a lot of fasting benefits don't start to kick in till after 20 to 30 hours
and a lot of those same benefits keep improving such as autophagy, hgh boost, for example or blood glucose effects
so it's good to do a longer prolong fast here and there

they are both beneficial in their own ways alternate day fasting is a great way to also do a lot of good things in the body since you are fasting for about 30 to 36 hours when you do that

bros do alternate day fasting for a month straight and see what happens

 

[ROIDDERS]

three-day fasts are very effective for boosting the immune system and regenerating cells

 

[chesty]

makes in both of them you can try alternate day fasting for like a week straight and see how you do

I got more benefits from my three day fast and doing a one-day fast for sure

I wouldn't do just three days
I would push it to 4-5 days that's more effective

i know that hgh goes up for first 5 days on a fast
so why not push it to 5 days

I like alternate day fasting myself and I do cardio on fasted days and I burn a lot of fat

 

[MONSTRO]

big ramy fasts for Ramadan
I was against fasting until I learned that

 

[JasonPriest]

there are different ways to fast and there is no wrong way as long as you're doing it a minimum of 20 hours
