Summary
A person with long COVID reported in January 2024 that intermittent fasting of at least 16/8 daily, plus supplements, had them feeling 90-95% of normal; the first fasts were tough but got easier over time. They could run, though it 'can kick my butt' and they were slower, and strength workouts were fine.
