Dr Fung talks about fasting helping to reset your bodies “set weight” (the weight your body thinks you should be), however this still requires a few years to do so. Most people I know that failed to keep weight off from their “diet” was simply because they went back to eating what they did before, that made them overweight in the first place.If you want to lose weight, go on a diet, but if you want to keep it off, then you need to stick to it for life.Think of it like learning a new language. After you’ve put in all this time and effort to learn it, you still need to exercise that knowledge to keep it imprinted in your brain. If you don’t use it or keep practicing, you’re going to forget everything you learnt.
if you want to maintain weight loss, you need to stick with the diet long term. That’s a no brainer. It doesn’t matter the kind of diet, if you eat like a pig, you end up a pig.
There is literally no diet in the world in which you can eat maccas 6 times a day followed by ice cream and manage to stay thin, except the cancer diet.
