Fasting results in weight gain because the fatso has not learned either dietary control or choice of less calorie dense foods. Whether humans are harmed by intermittent fasting is anyone’s guess. There is no long term peer reviewed data.

Like curing a drinking problem by laying off the booze for a few days.

I don’t know a fat person who has not tried and failed with fasting.

Well, you just met me!

I will give you one point, though - If I were to stop this way of eating, and go back to carbs, the weight would eventually be regained.

This isn’t a “diet” that one can do once, lose weight, and then go back to eating the typical American diet.

Excess carbs, processed foods, vegetable oils and fast foods have ruined so many metabolisms.

Fair enough on the fat people. However there are health and spiritual benefits for disciplined normal-weighted people.

“I don’t know a fat person who has not tried and failed with fasting.”

There are a bunch of us who have tried and WON posting on this thread. Speaking for myself, after 8 months...down 35 lbs, total cholesterol slightly down, HDL up, triglycerides way down, no-medicine blood pressure has dropped from 155/110 to 125/80...and I have ZERO desire to go back to eating 3 meals a day OR to eating bread, pasta, cookies, etc.

The difference between us is I know what I’m talking about because I’ve DONE IT!
