A doctor (neuro) told me that fasting is unhealthy and is the same as calorie restriction and after researching it some now I’m wondering what to believe. I’ve read the studies on ketosis etc so I understand the biological mechanics...
When you are fasting for weight loss instead of the other health benefits does it really matter if you have drinks such as Pepsi-max with the low calories. Or is it not even fasting at that point?

By 'intermittent dry fasting' I mean 16-23 hours dry then eating and drinking some water > repeating.. or can you do 16-23 hours dry > drink some water > repeat? What makes going from dry to wet so 'bad'?...
I heard somewhere that your body thinks it’s starving and holds on to weight as much as possible if you don’t eat enough (it was a subject outside intermittent fasting) so is that also relevant with intermittent fasting in terms...

I’m 180cm 90kg, I’ve been “fasting” for 3 days but there’s been no scale weight loss, I’ve been drinking diet drinks that contain very minimal calories, like less than 10 cals, so I’m not technically fasting, but I’m not intaking...

^^^ Does fasting help with weight loss differently than just calorie restriction and helping you eat in a calorie deficit?
I know muscle building during fast doesn't really build muscles since it needs protein - but it still burns calories just the same correct? I am curious if anyone does a combination of cardio+strength or focus on cardio/strength only or...

Currently 27/120 hour fast. Would doing 72 be enough to see the benefits of weight loss like I see others have. Or is a prolonged fast really the best way to reap the benefits of weight loss by fasting? Also a...

I'm sure you've all been asked if chewing gum breaks a fast or not, and for the most part many say no because it's sugar free so it doesn't raise your blood sugar, but I've also read that it still...
Hi, I saw a video about intermittent fasting. I believe Dr. Fung siad he didn’t recommend a calorie deficit for weight loss and that fasting is better. He siad our metobolic rate adjusts when we are in a calorie deficit...
