Well, I lost 6.7 pounds and 1.9% body fat during my 4-day fast.
How much of that went back on again shortly afterwards, though? I have sometimes lost several pounds very quickly as a result of dehydration, but this is generally not healthy and the loss is temporary. I've sometimes been sick and not had much of an appetite, resulting in staying in bed for several days and hardly eating anything. Again, I lost several pounds, but even with a modest and very healthy food intake for the next few days, much of the weight then went back on again as my body recovered.
- helloindia 10y agoRather than focusing on intermittent fasting(and other fads), I believe people should focus on adoption of healthy lifestyle long term. Nothing can replace a lifestyle of right diet and moderate exercise.
- pdimitar 10y agoThat is the really important question here. I wish the author would answer you. I believe fasting has long-term health benefits but I am not at all sure it can actually help with regular weight loss and general health re-balancing.
