Re: Fasting, metabolism, and preventing weight gain after the fast

Carina,
I thought your query was one of "losing weight" and preventing any weight gain post fast...........

"I was wondering what would be better for weight loss".............

so I thought the answer I gave to your question was highly relevant.

However, in answer to your question of preventing your metabolism from slowing down with one refeeding day in between fasts of 5--7 days the answer is "only slightly" with negligible effects on weight loss.

Fasting lowers the metabolism as a conservation measure in preserving food reserves for as long as possible in the ultimate prevention of starvation.....food scarcity and so on.
