  • What people worry about most:  A lot of the concern is about whether fasting is actually healthy, whether the benefits last, and whether it is just another calorie-cutting strategy in disguise. Mayo Clinic notes that some short-term improvements have been seen in blood sugar, weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, and inflammation, but long-term effects are still unclear. MedlinePlus also highlights that what and how much you eat still matter, not just the timing
