I wish people wouldn’t dish out medical advice on the internet when they aren’t medical professionals. Please don’t just download an app and try this. Go to your doctor instead and consult them. Fasting can put stress on your internal organs such as your heart and liver. Fasting also temporarily lowers your metabolism as your body goes into starvation mode if you start to not eat. This is why you don’t feel hungry. The danger of this is that you will also not feel thirsty enough and may get dehydrated. Also, when you start to eat again, your body may go into overdrive and make you hungrier than you were before, leading you to actually consume more calories. All these diets where you intermittently fast or you can only eat this or that are fraught with problems. Some may make you lose weight temporarily, but you are likely to quickly put it back on. The only way to realistically lose weight is through calorie deficit — ie your calories in need to be lower than the calories you burn. And the only way to do this sustainably and for the long term is to make habitual change in your everyday eating. Eat little and often. Make sure you eat foods high in protein regularly (as the body cannot store protein). Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. …And many other things. But everyone is different. Please consult a medical professional on your specific needs. A dietician will be able to advise you on what you need to stay healthy.

Neither of those people are medical doctors.

@blackbeltsecrets I'm aware of that. But I think if you're dishing out medical advice and calling yourself Dr Ekberg, it implies that you're a medical doctor.

@blackbeltsecrets I’ve said all I want to say on the issue. People can talk to medical professionals themselves and see what they say.
