Fasting is not a good way to lose weight long term.
Skipping breakfast occasionally may be useful from a therapeutic point of view, but not for daily practice.
Fasting, being a temporary method, does not solve the problem of fat on the sides and stomach in the long term.
At the same time, fasting negatively affects hormone levels and impairs thyroid function.
When these processes slow down, your basal metabolic rate, or the number of calories your body burns at rest, deteriorates.
Many studies by scientists have shown that intermittent fasting does not have a significant effect on weight loss compared to those who eat normally.
Fasting only helps many people when the total number of calories consumed daily is reduced.
This is a calorie deficit, and this is how a person loses extra pounds.
At the same time, fasting increases appetite while restricting calories, which leads to a subsequent excess of calories during meals.
This leads to rapid weight gain rather than fat burning.
To achieve lasting results, you need to avoid processed foods and low-calorie diets.
When you eat real foods, including meat, fruit, milk, your body knows what to do with them.
A hearty breakfast with at least 60 g of animal protein, fruit and honey is beneficial.
Eating natural foods will significantly reduce your appetite and improve your metabolism, which will lead to weight loss.
