Excess weight is a problem familiar to many. People try to get rid of extra pounds in a variety of ways, including fasting days, when they eat practically nothing.
However, the effectiveness and safety of this approach raise doubts among experts.
In this article, we will look at whether fasting helps you lose weight and what consequences it may have.
During fasting days, a person consumes much fewer calories than usual (or does not consume them at all).
This approach, of course, reduces the total number of calories consumed per week and promotes weight loss.
At the same time, fasting also has contraindications: gallstone disease, exacerbation of gastritis, diabetes, urolithiasis and eating disorders.
It is also important to consider how a person eats before and after a fasting day and how he feels on that day.
Typically, people overeat before a fasting day and eat a lot after it, negating the calorie deficit.
The question arises: why suffer and starve if the next day you will still “exceed” your calorie norm?
If you notice this behavior in yourself, you don’t need fasting days.
