Probably the impossible problem of weight loss (and especially fat loss) is that, in the end, food is required. You know, for living. No food, and you die. But you knew that.
So, the goal of every weight loss program is to balance the need for food with the simple math of, “burn more calories than you intake”, right? Simple fasting - just eating less - is bad, because you might be depriving your body the appropriate energy needs (you might be deprived of protein, or some other thing).
So why do so many interesting things happen in a fasted state? (Via)
I guess the takeaway here is, “fuck it, I’m having another 18 glasses of Shiraz, I’ll see you on the floor.”
