Does fasting help in weight lost?

Well it does but not exactly the way ; weight loss you want. Here is what happens by fasting.

Your body needs fuel and it has 3 sources to get it from.
1. Food you eat - Primary Source
2. Muscle - Secondary
3. Fat - Third and last. so what happens when you fast?

1. By fasting you are not providing your body the primary source of fuel. so it will now depend on secondary and starts to use muscle for fuel. which mean you'll be loosing muscle.
2. As you lose muscle, your bones have less support that mean there is a lot of pressure on the bones.
3. More load on bones mean more pain and discomfort in any movement.
4. Once muscle is consumed it is time for fat.
5. By this time your body is already starving so it will shut off everything except most important functions like Brain,Lungs, Heart etc.

Now do you really want to lose weight by fasting? I don't think.


The best way is eat healthy in small portions multiple times a day. calculate your daily calorie and try to be within the limit.
