Fasting


Fung promotes intermittent fasting and more controversially water fasting. The fasting protocols promoted by Fung have been criticized as dangerous for those with pre-existing medical conditions as well those with a history of eating disorders. They have also been known to cause refeeding syndrome in fasting practitioners who fail to monitor their electrolyte levels under medical supervision.[16]
