What? Maybe, but I think citation is needed there. The most widely popular keto diet, Atkins, doesn't say a thing about fasting - when you boil it down, and don't do any of the stupid carb-replacement recipe trickery that a lot of people do, Atkins equates to: take your normal meal with meat, starch, and vegetable, and stop making the starch, eat a little more vegetable if you want. Voila, there goes 500-1000 calories a day, more if you're eating starchy/sugary snacks. And you won't be hungry between meals. It's not rocket science.
- nonbel 8y agoI'd say what the parent refers to as intermittent fasting is just feeling less hungry...
- nikolay 8y agoYes, the more frequently you eat, the faster your metabolism gets, and you get hungry faster. I'm not sure why people came up with the nonsense that faster metabolism is better as since when accelerating aging is desired? Well, muscle mass also ups basal metabolic rate, but that's a bit different mechanism.
