"We show that a 3-day fast results in increases in circulating lipids and insulin resistance in subjects expressing a high or low proportion of type I muscle fibers. High expression of type I is associated with a higher capacity to oxidize lipids and a greater loss of insulin sensitivity after starvation."

Higher triglycerides and lower insulin sensitivity is no bueno right? There are a few youtube health influencers in the minority that have suggested fasting is not good for you long term, including intermittent fasting.
