This review sought to identify rigorous, clinically relevant research studies that provide high–quality evidence that therapeutic fasting regimens are clinically beneficial to humans. Clinical research studies of fasting with robust designs and high levels of clinical evidence are sparse in the literature. Whereas the few randomized controlled trials and observational clinical outcomes studies support the existence of a health benefit from fasting, substantial further research in humans is needed before the use of fasting as a health intervention can be recommended.
