It’s also highly effective and safe so long as you educate yourself properly before beginning.
I did 14 day fasts with an electrolyte slurry, psyllium husk, and multi vitamins. Take a month off, eat well balanced meals, repeat until goal weight. I lost ~15-20lbs each fast doing it a total of three times to hit my goal weight. Each time is less, because the daily caloric requirement to maintain your body decreases with your weight.
After that, I started gym/weight training.
edit: and never eating junk food or drinking sugar ever again. That includes fruit juice and dairy milk. Unsweetened Coconut “milk” for me now. Processed grains massively reduced too. Basically, flour. Honestly flour probably inflated the waist line for me more than sugar.
Yes, came to say fasting. Start with intermittent. Work up to OMAD (one meal a day).
Then push it further out to 48 hr. plus depending on your weight, with just water, vitamins, electrolytes.
Autophagy is an amazing benefit of it to look into as well. Kicks in hard around 48 hrs, depending on how much sugar and carbs you have to burn off. Which is also why a ketogenic diet is good when you aren’t fasting.
Green tea, coffee, tumeric are good at stimulating autophagy too, if you want to dirty fast
I prefer to eat two meals a day. It feels like a sustainable lifestyle instead of just a temporary fix. Normally, I have only breakfast and lunch. If I deviate from that by having something in the afternoon, my weight begins to increase gradually.
One thing the diet industry hates:
Fasting. Hard to make money off not eating food.
