Why do you want to do that? You are setting yourself up for failure.0

Never! Why bother to put your body though that? Excercise and eat at a deficit of you want to drop a few pounds.0

Fasting for how long? There are a few intermittentent fasting groups here. I was doing a version of the Warrior plan, where I was eating all my calories in a four hour span. So I would eat from 12- 4 and then not eat again until 12 the next day. I got sick (unrelated to fasting) and haven't picked it up again. But I liked it.
I don't think anyone on here is going to be on board with prolonged fasts, water only fasts, juice fasts etc etc etc.

I 5:2 fast. I LOVE IT. I feel amazing when I fast (500cals 2 days a week, maintenance the rest).
There is a 5:2 group and an IF group as well.0 -
yes, for health reason fasting lower my glucose down

OP - if you are talking about IF then it can be a useful tool. check out the groups on here or go to www.leangains.com …I thik that 5;2 has a webiste too.
If you are talking about something idiotic like a month long water fast or something, then please do not do that.
Also, calorie deficit is what leads to weight loss, fasting is just a tool to create that deficit. And fasting is not going to burn fat faster or make you drop weight faster …

I get moody when I'm hungry so fasting doesn't work very well for me. Plus I like food.0

I am assuming you are speaking of intermittent fasting. I have done it for a small time frame. It helped me A LOT with sticking to my daily calorie goal and to not be a snacker. I do not really care for breakfast so it was not that hard for me. I like the 16:8 for myself.0

Grade B? No - I want only organic syrup from grade A maplemonsters.0

Strong blanket statement.
Anywho, fasting intermittently can work for some individuals. I have done it and still do. I have very good control of my dietary adherence.0 -

Meh, Grade A has no flavor!
I like fasting, sometimes I IF and hold my eating until the evening feeding. Sometimes I'll go a day or two on water. Not for health purposes, but for focus purposes. It feels refreshing, and I always treat myself to a nice meal when coming off. However it's a bear to do when I'm in training.0 -
