Fasting is the act of totally or partially abstaining from eating or drinking, but I don't believe that much, there is something that I was taught since I was little, interpret this, eat breakfast like a king, have lunch like a prince and eat like a beggar, the most fattening food in the world. day is the one that eats at night, that's why it says he eats at night like a beggar

El ayuno al acto abstenerse total o parcialmente de comer o beber, pero no creo mucho eso , hay algo que desde chiquito me enseñaron , interpreta esto, dasayuna como un rey, almuerza como príncipe y come como mendigo, la comida que más engorda en el día es la que come de noche , por eso dice come en la noche como mendigo

I can't speak for anyone else, but exercise didn't help me. Drs acknowledge that weight gain is associated with the meds. But can't tell us why, so it's hard to fix. I've been intermittent fasting for a couple years. I've made a lot of progress with alternate day fasting. At least I'm back to my pre diagnosis weight. Even with the weight loss and reduced eating. Metabolically, I still have cholesterol close to 300 and high triglycerides. The only thing left to do is quit smoking and maybe give up bacon.
