Hammersham started the protocol with a 72-hour fast, setting a rigid pace for the months ahead. While he maintains a vegetarian diet, he characterizes himself as the world's worst vegetarian, using the project to explore how restricted eating windows and plant-based nutrition influence cellular regeneration. The schedule remains flexible, allowing for consecutive fasting days or intermittent breaks depending on the week’s requirements.
Alfie Hammersham Begins Year-Long Fasting and Metabolic Study
Three days of fasting every week for 52 consecutive weeks: that is the regimen Alfie Hammersham has adopted for his new digital documentary project, the One Year Fast. Based in Venice, Florida, the UK/US citizen intends to map the metabolic and psychological effects of this year-long health experiment.
Public transparency is central to the project. Hammersham provides a live data dashboard tracking professional clinical metrics, including DEXA scans for body composition, VO2 Max readings, resting metabolic rates, and continuous ketone levels. This quantitative data is paired with a qualitative video series on YouTube, where he documents the emotional and spiritual challenges of the long-term fast. Hammersham emphasizes that the initiative serves as an educational chronicle rather than medical advice, urging others to consult healthcare professionals before attempting similar regimens. The full archive of biomarkers and video journals remains open for public review as the 52-week cycle progresses.
