Cha-ching! Safest, most effective weight loss with amazing health benefits decried by physicians for at least a generation maybe two.
Fasting increases human growth hormone (HGH). Imagine a caveman that has no food for a week. He's going to need the energy muscle-wise to go hunting. Why would starvation eat the muscle? It wouldn't. That would leave you to shrivel up and die the first time you have no food. I've been seeing stories about body builders going into a fast, THEN beginning workouts because of the elevated HGH.
It tends to reset your body set weight. I took off 20 lbs in May, and although I haven't retained the diet guidelines, I'm still down 20. I was stuck 20lbs heavier for several years. I'm going to start another round, and drop another 20.
What is your fasting schedule? One day? Two? Three?
I used to fast when I was younger, but find it difficult these days. And I’ve really had trouble losing, even on a low-carb diet. Sigh...
