    Default Fasting

    It's been becoming more popular over the last few years now that the slowing down metabolism and "starvation mode" myths have been debunked.
    More than just for weight loss, it's been successful in helping to treat diabetes and other things.
    I am currently on day 1 of what I hope is a 5 day fast. I find after the second day, you don't even want to eat anyways. And your mind is soo clear. I predict I will lose at least 4 pounds,most of it will be glycogen and water, but about a pound of fat as well. Need to start somewhere.
    Anyone else tried it?
    Most people expect that a period of fasting will leave them feeling tired and drained of energy. However, the vast majority of people experience the exact opposite: they feel energized and revitalized during fasting. Partly this is because the body is still being fueled—it’s just getting energy from burning fat rather than burning food. But it’s also because adrenaline is used to release stored glycogen and to facilitate fat-burning, even if blood sugar is high. The increased adrenaline levels invigorate us and stimulate the metabolism. In fact, studies show that after a four-day fast, resting energy expenditure increased by 12 percent. Rather than slowing the metabolism, fasting revs it up.

    I like intermittent fasting (fast for 16 hours a day, and eat for 8), so rather than 3-4 smaller meals, 1-2 bigger, more satisfying meals.

    Benefits are similar to what you wrote above (clear headz etc ) but it's sustainable for long term.

    So what is being eaten during this "fasting"? If nothing then it's not a good idea.

    Fasting for longer periods of time is a good way to lose lean body mass.

    Nothing. That's the very definition of fasting. It's common, especially during long term fasts to have coffee, tea or brother,which I might do.
    I picked up the book reviewed in the OP and it's been an interesting read.Debunked a lot of the myths associated with fasting. It doesn't slow metabolism or burn muscle.
    Besides, it makes sense. For the vast majority of human history, food hasn't always been plentiful. It's natural we've evolved to make the best of it.

    yeah man. The standard goal of losing one pound a week is nothing on fasting. I dropped like 10 pounds last year doing basically a two week fast.
    And the weight stayed off!

    There's no reason to eat nothing. You can drink vegetable juices like celery-apple-carrot or spinach-carrot mix and be fully nourished. Coffee will prevent you from detox and cause you to lose muscle

    I'd rather say the problem is not a food, but the type of food.
