No, I literally mean weight, I am aware you will lose both muscle and fat. Yes, there are biological processes that can affect that process, but the gist is the same. If you don't eat, you will lose weight.

Excess fat causes insulin resistance and insulin resistance makes you fat. If you have and use more muscles you can (and will) eat more. Your metabolism will also speed up if you are more active. When overweight it is much harder to jump on a bicycle, skate, take a long walk or sign up for a sport. > I'm fairly sure that for a large part of the population, prescribing them diet instead of insulin would result in worse outcomes. Fasting can fix insulin resistance. If you eat plenty of fat and protein between the fasts you will adapt to burn that. The system is quite good, if you don't eat for 12 hours the reserves are addressed. May take a bit of getting used to since the mechanism is quite rusty. You become much more focused and active naturally. It is time to hunt or otherwise find food. When the belly is stuffed there is no need for physical activity.

  Just ran into this. Apparently arthritis is caused by overweight and eating to much carbs. It is also a major reason why overweight people avoid exercise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYj3IROfvV4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYj3IROfvV4
