Try it!
I disagree with the calorie people and will probably start a fight, but oh well. It’s not really about calories. It’s about allowing your body’s insulin levels to become more normal.
If you want it to work even better, try doing keto on your eating days, or at least unprocessed foods.
Start with short fasts (14 hours) and work up from there. I love 36-hour ones.
Read up on electrolytes while fasting, especially if you’re going to do longer ones.
Cut our sugar, juice, and alcohol completely if possible, as well as any other unnecessary junk.
There is one rule to weight loss: you need to eat fewer calories than your burn over a long period of time. Fasting is a very efficient way to do that, which is why fasting is so effective.
I’d challenge you to try a 48 hour fast. It costs you nothing to attempt, and if it works the results are nearly priceless. Plus, even if you only make it 24 hours, that’s still a win.
At the end of the day, the best weight loss program is the one you can accomplish consistently. Trying different programs is important to find the one that works for you; so I hope you enjoy fasting as much as I do.
