I’m new to this topic, so excuse me if I’m asking a question that has been answered elsewhere.
Does anyone know if there are results of metabolism rate vs length of a fast?
It is my understanding that The Fastest Loser show ran over a 90 day period, and the participant on this show experienced slower metabolisms to the point where they easily gained weight after the show ended. The show limited participants to ~800 Kcal per day plus added exercise. I can see similarities between this situation and long duration fasting. I’ve read of Jimmy Moore’s long term fasting (27 days?), and see people in this forum discussing long term fasting (greater than 7 days).
I also recall in one of Jason Fung’s books the statement that he typically recommends fasting for 3 (on alternate days) per week for his clinic patients for weight loss.
My question is; what is the trend of the reduction in a person’s metabolism vs the length of a fast?
Thx
