Started Intermittent Fasting Over a Decade AgoLouis cautioned that his methods were not for everyone, advising those with intestinal issues to first consult with their doctors.

Louis first revealed that he started intermittent fasting more than 10 years ago, eating only one meal at six in the evenings, and drinking water whenever he felt hungry. The 53-year-old opined that feelings of hunger helped to regulate his bodily functions.

Sharing about his extreme fasting habits on HK YouTuber Black Box Office’s show, Louis responded to criticism that he was “spreading harmful knowledge”. “(We) should get used to hunger, when you starve the fats, sugars and everything, your body will help you recalibrate your system. (Conversely) if you keep taking in food, it will not need to replenish and the excess will become fats,”

“We should learn to starve everyday, instead of stuffing ourselves with food,” he said, adding that at least 4 to 6 hours of fasting is needed to truly be effective.

Believes Time-restricted Eating Keeps Him Healthy

When “Mixed fat guy”, the host, protested that skipping mealtimes gets him in a bad temper, Louis advised him to try out intermittent fasting first. “You’re still young now, when you get older in future, you’ll find yourself using money to acquire health. When you get into a bad temper in future, maybe it’ll be the doctor telling you to control your diet. You can still eat, but it’ll be pills you’ll be popping,”

Nutritionists, however, have cautioned that intermittent fasting is not for everyone; long hours of restricted eating may trigger the formation of gallstones or cause muscles to be metabolized faster than fat, possibly leading to the undesirable “Metabolically Obese normal weight” syndrome.
