I genuinely wonder what the point of fasting is, given that you can achieve the same results by just skipping carbs or following a keto diet. The ketosis these people get into happens because the body has no glycogen to burn, so whether you fast or you just skip the carbs should have the same effect.
- freehunter 9y agoI genuinely wonder what the point of skipping carbs or keto diet is, given that you can achieve the same results by just fasting every other day. The ketosis these people get into happens because the body has no glycogen to burn, so whether you fast or you just skip the carbs should have the same effect, but at least with alternate-day fasting you still get to eat like a normal human being.
- pzh 9y agoSeriously? So many downvotes for asking a genuine question and hoping to have a discussion? I didn't think people could have such strong feelings about one type of diet vs another. I've tried both fasting and keto and I've got more or less the same results. I guess some people find fasting more convenient to doing keto, which is fine. I found that with fasting I have more difficulty doing resistance training, and it inevitably leads to a more severe loss of muscle mass, whereas with keto I find that I can more or less preserve the muscle mass and just lose body fat.
