FASTING FOR WEIGHT LOSS

FASTING FOR WEIGHT LOSS

I support the findings as intermittent fasting can support weight loss especially in the short by lowering or regulating our calorie intake. However, when not observing the right intake if daily value if essential nutrients and minerals, the weight loss may be accompanied by unintended after effects.

What Should People Do If They Want to Use Fasting to Successfully/Safely Lose Weight Quickly?

When looking to shade some calories faster, I recommend the intermittent fasting methods which entails skipping foods or around 12 to 18 hours. This strategy allows the body to make use of the excess calories, without depleting other nutrients as you don’t get to fast daily.

Can People Use Fasting to Keep Weight Off in The Long Term?

Yes, when done right, fasting can aid in weight loss in the long run though the results might not be as effective as in other weight loss strategies. For this to be effective I would recommend you practice intermittent fasting, while you ensure you take the correct amounts of all nutrients to avoid nutrients deficiencies.
