[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will also wreck your metabolism.  You will starve your brain, and it takes longer to heal than your body.  You will cause your body to assume you are experiencing a famine, and it will pack fat around your organs to protect them.  Ask yourself is some goal weight is worth the damage you will cause.[/quote]

No, it isn’t.

A 72 hour water fast for autophagy and healing is okay and has been studied with regard to muscle loss and is considered negligible.

But long term fasting or very low calorie diet will waste muscle mass along with fat, and when the weight comes back on you’ll gain all fat and no muscle and end up with a damaged metabolism and a harder road to losing weight in future.

A modest calorie deficit combined with weight training is the responsible, healthy approach to weight loss and cannot be expected to provide dramatic or fast results. Fast weight loss is never healthy in the long term.[/quote]
