Hey folks, I am 29, male and after started with OMAD my interests shifted to fasting because of the health benefits in longevity. I started to read Jason Fung and understood the dependence between Insulin and fat loss. I was always on...

I felt inspired by the segment I saw on CBS Sunday Morning. I’ve fasted before. I seem to be a yo-yo dieter. When the results get good enough I started slacking and getting away with it… until I don’t...
I currently am 50kg and want to godown to 45/44kg. I want to loose the 5/6kg very fast so I thought about water fasting for 10 days. Now I’m scared tho that the water fasting will cause an yo-yo effect,...

So, aside from making one more keenly aware of calories coming in, there is another reason it works for me... When I am fucking hungry as hell, whole, healthy foods are amazing and what I crave... When eating mindlessly I gravitate to...
And if so, why are “starvation diets” deemed unhealthy for weight loss? Does your body “live off of itself?” During a fast? Is “metabolism” a myth in weight loss?
Had anyone achieved weight loss success doing IF without elimination carbs?
Broscience says that people with excess skin after weight loss can get rid of it by fasting. Is this backed by science or is it just a myth? If excess skin can be lost, what's the proper way?
