ideally one shouldn't even need to fast, unless we have to spend several months with less food in the cold, semi-hibernating like some of our ancestors. I know in our modern society, more than half people are now overweight, but ideally we should reach our ideal weight, and have few meals per day with vegetable rich diet
I'm at 60kg I think, for 1.83m, it's not underweight for my body shape - long legs, thin hip, arms & wrists, I often have huge meals, that way I can spend at least 20h without eating, but doing multiple-days fasting would be difficult unless I stay in bed
- YZF 4y agoPeople think I'm skinny and I'm 1.82m, fairly narrow build, and usually 78kg-82kg. I've never worried about what I eat. My weight has been more or less constant. I know other people have to be very careful or they easily put on more weight. There is very little fat on me (maybe I could go a little bit leaner but I mostly don't worry about it). That said, I think extended fasts are not about managing your weight, they're intended to force your body into a different mode. I'm pretty sure they're not an efficient way to reduce your weight (more activity + a bit more control over what you eat would be better). If you want to increase your weight without being fat then resistance training + eating more.
