Fasting safely
Intermittent fasting is not about a person starving themselves to lose weight. It also is not something that will put a person’s body into starvation mode where the body slows its metabolism down to use as little energy as possible because it no longer knows when more food is coming. It is short periods of fasting, usually around 24 hours, followed by eating normally for several days. Many people have following a program of intermittent fasting for 1 or 2 days a week with eating normally other days and also doing some weight or strength training to lose weight and keep it off.
