Fasting should be out!

Mmy Nutritionist told me that the greatest SIN of all when you are trying to loose weight is to skip meals, that is especially to SKIP BREAKFAST. She said that if we skip breakfast, or go on a crush diet, our body sends a signal to the brain that the body is starving and in turn the metabolic rate slows down to preserve energy, and your fat burning process slows down a lot. If we skip more meals, that is breakfast and lunch, we tend to eat more food at dinnertime, cause your brain will send out a signal that you are so hungry.

Its not promoted in the bible...it was a technique they used in the old testament days when they wanted to have no other worldly things binding them... so that they could cleanse their systems and be rid of the poisons... It can be used in a positive way...but not to lose weight

I agree, it is not used to loose weight. Some used fasting as a sacrafice to God.

I eat two meals a day (breakfast and lunch) and feel great. I don't know if this would work for every one but it has been good for me so far.

I think that is the key, whatever works for you. I know that if i ate only two meals, by evening i would be hungry, I would think that I could eat a little something as I hadn't had much in the day, and that would open the flood gates!!
But if that eating plan works for you, and you can lose weight and not find it difficult to stick to, then that is obviously the plan for you.

If starving yourself stops / slows your metabolism, why are anorexics so skinny? When exactly does your body go into starvation mode?

Starvation does slow the metabolism down, but if you are hardly eating anything, then you are still going to lose weight. It is when you have been eating too little and then you start eating more again that the slow metabolism causes weight gain. Any extra food that you eat, the body grabs hold of and turns into fat rather than burn it, because it is unsure when the next meal is coming.

I fast 1 day a year. Traditionally it is no water and no food for 25 hrs, but I will drink water... due to medical reasons. I get extreame headaches and migranes if I don't.

But yes, once a year on Yom Kippur, Day of Atonment I fast.

Which happens to be coming up in September I think.

Besides that I am totally against fasting.

Hey there,

All I can say is I have been there done that. I skipped meals, I fasted, all in order to get that perfect "Hollywood" thin look, then I woke up. Worst thing in the world to do to your body is starve it to death. I learned my lesson.

Well said, Miaterith. It is good to hear from someone who knows from experience how bad it is, and also it is great to see that you realised that it was bad for you, and are now on a healthier path. Great going!
