Fasting research was first begun in the late nineteenth century, with 40-day fasts being closely monitored and the physiological and metabolic effects which took place being carefully recorded. For example, a report in the British Medical Journal in 1880⁵ outlines the effects of a 40-day water fast on a Dr Tanner.

In the early twentieth century, therapeutic fasting – where patients were treated using the method – began to be reported in medical journals and in 1910 a report by Dr Guelpa appeared in the British Medical Journal6 on the benefits of fasting in diabetes (see below).
