Can you tell me what is the best foods for metabolic fasting?

Not sure what you mean: I have never heard of this term. To me fasting means no foods. Fasting for any prolonged length of time is not a good idea.

Metabolic fasting : There is a Ketogenic diet which is used by neurologists for treatment of refractory seizures. It is low in carbohydrates. Is this what you are referring to? As far as its use in other medical conditions, it is being done but mostly under clinical trial supervision .
