Question

what’s the best fasting method to help lose weight. are 24 hour fasts healthy ?

Answer

No, and that’s not healthy. When it comes to losing weight the healthy way, it’s 80% what you eat and 20% exercise. And unfortunately you cannot spot reduce fat. You will lose weight overall. And besides cardio, it’s important to incorporate weights into your routine (does not have to be heavy), as that helps you lose fat throughout the day.

Answer

Actually fasting is incredibly healthy and can easily jump start your metabolism if you are starting a new diet or work out routine. Fasting should not be more than 24 hours, ensure you are getting plenty of electrolytes on that day with a water enhancer that is calorie free (Amazon has a great one). Then I suggest intermittent fasting. There are several options in that field but the one that worked best for me was eating within an eight hour window (10am-6pm) and fasting the remaining 16 hours. I paired this with keto and lost roughly 88 pounds in a year. It’s been over 6 months since I transitioned back to a more normal diet (still low carb and sugar free but not as strict on beans, veggies and fruit. Also, not all of the fat) and I have maintained! Fasting is what REALLY revved up my weight loss. Do some research and see if it would be right for you? Sending all of the weight loss energy your way!!

Answer

Registered dietitian in training here! Fasting is NOT a good method for weight loss short term, you will lose a negligible amount of water weight bc you’ve starved yourself for a day, and then gain it back when you start eating again. Intermittent fasting has not been shown to be better for weight loss, but it may work for some people bc they feel full and satisfied during their eating window. There is also no scientific basis that anything can “kick start your metabolism”. Just a marketing tactic! 
Make small, gradual, and sustainable changes to your diet (cutting down on portions, adding more vegetables, finding healthy alternatives to your fav desserts) and try to get more exercise. Focus on the LONG TERM

Answer

Anyone on here that says fasting is unhealthy is lying to you…. I’ve been fasting for 28 days now  doing the 16 hours fast and only eat within the 8 hour window. I had type two diabetes, that’s been reversed, I went from 199.4lbs to 182lbs in 15 days and today I’m 176.3lbs and I’m training my body to make this my new life style…. Fasting is perfectly healthy. And my doctors told me they are and my vitals are BEAUTIFUL… my lab work came back beautifully too…..
