Nutrient deficiency is not a major concern with a twenty-four-hour fast. Since you are still eating daily, you just need to make sure that during that meal you consume adequate proteins, vitamins, and minerals by eating nutrient-dense, natural, unprocessed foods. You could follow this regimen daily, although most will get good results doing a twenty-four-hour fast two to three times per week. Brad Pilon, the author of Eat, Stop, Eat, recommends using a twenty-four-hour fast twice a week.
