I wouldn’t really recommend the 16:8 (or similar) intermittent fasting for a type 3. BUT the 5:2 protocol (what Paul Carter and I have called Primer 52, a system we developped) could work well. It has two days of 24h fasting (you only have one meel, late ,around 8-9pm). This is a day to increase AMPK as much as possible and trigger autophagy (and many other health benefits).
I won’t explain the whole complexity of the system here, but here is a graphic to get you started if you are interested.
YES there will be a higher cortisol output on the fasting days but there will be a great anabolic rebound the next days.
