In this explorative study, the feasibility of therapeutic fasting to reduce limitations in physical well-being and quality of life of patients undergoing endocrine therapy with aromatase inhibitors will be investigated. In addition, the application of the StudyU app, which is currently under development, will be monitored and the app adapted if necessary. In addition, in preparation for a larger multicenter main study, it will be examined whether the muscle and joint complaints frequently experienced ...
