Does pure fasting have benefits vs consuming a low amount of nourishment, like protein powder with vitamins?
I’ve been doing this inadvertently, due to illness, and lost about the same amount - 40 lbs in less than 2 months. I was trying to eat as much as possible, though. I went from being in the higher healthy range of BMI to the low end.
- jerrycruncher 8y agoI'm not a doctor, so I wouldn't be comfortable making any assertions here. If you're interested in the subject, I'd recommend looking up Dr Jason Fung - he's an MD who's been doing work in the area over the last few years.
- code_duck 8y agoThanks, directing me to reading material is perfect. I’m not interested in it personally as I don’t need to lose weight or want to take risks.
