Just reading about that this morning...That doesn't look healthy at all...can imagine people would lose any muscle mass they have along with the obvious fat loss of fasting/ low calories.

Looks like a fantastic way to get rid of any muscles you may have and become malnourished.

[kaelix1]

For god sake lads, stop trying to fix your problems with fad diets and other 'secrets' and 'tricks', eat what you want as long as it's healthy and you are in a caloric deficit

[Kumorii]

I think the name speaks for itself

[thilicen]

Yeah, don't do that.

>WONT I LOSE MUSCLE?
This is the coolest part about fasting. Your body remains very anabolic when you fast.

"Our results suggest that a fasting program in conjunction with resistance training can decrease fat mass, and maintain muscle mass in resistance-trained males."

That's not fasting. It's starvation. People are dumb.

read the article you linked. they aren't talking about prolonged fasting, they are talking about eating proper amount of calories every day just in a shorter window, aka intermittent fasting, NOT the same thing because you are STILL getting adequate nutrients every. single. day.

I can't imagine how incredibly shit it must feel to not eat for a day or two at a time..

Imagine how sluggish your brain must be when it is being deprived of fuel.

Yes I know the liver can metabolize fatty acids into ketones which the brain can use as fuel, but its not as efficient as glucose.
And since the brain can't actually store fuel, it needs it continuously, hence why it's a good idea to eat throughout the day.

Don't try to cheat your way out of fat, it'll just wreck your health nine out of ten times.

Find a sport you like (most of them get a lot more fun if you give a genuine try rather than once a week half-assing things) and just don't eat too much of stuff.

There's no shortcuts to weight loss, at all, not a single one.
You want to lose weight? Calories in, calories out. Only thing in the world that matters. Eat mcdonalds everyday if you want.

Looks like the OMAD fasting option with a stupid name, not for me but it's not a death sentence to you or your muscle mass.

[Zogarth]

I went OMAD. Works for me. But I do eat normally for that week and don't do some weird crap.

what about intermittent fasting then? would u recommend that for losing weight?

[deenman]

this sounds about as healthy as breatharianism

Why would you try gimmicky things, calories out calories in is all that matter, it does not matter at what hour you eat as long as you are in a caloric deficit, you want to lose weight? focus on low dense caloric foods with going a little high on protein, eat what you enjoy, and try to build a life habit out of it

I was thinking "snake oil" myself.

32 pounds in first 30 days. It works. You feel great. I went 6 days fasting and then a feast on the 7th day. Repeated 4 weeks. Just took two weeks off of eating once or twice a day and back at it. First couple days are tough on your hunger. After that, not eating is no big deal at all, your body is used to it. Your fat is your food. Good luck.

I should add I did no exercise as I drive for a living so I did that sitting behind the wheel all day long.

Its a shit diet nobody should use, try or recommend.
You lost weight because you were in a calorie deficit.
You will lose muscle, you will be tired, nothing good will come out of doing what you did.
And its not sustainable in any way shape or form. Try doing it for a year, you will never make it. Shit, you wont even make 6 months. Doubtful if you'll even manage 3 months. Why? Ghrelin and leptin will skyrocket and you will suffer extremely for no reason and as a result, you will give up and you will rebound and gain more weight than you previously had due to "science".
