So, I found this video, while looking for some tips from the guys who seem to know well. I've been told the same thing guy is refuting: that fasting or simply missing meals will lower your metabolism, thus making your body store onto body-fat as a reserve. After seeing that video, I kinda see how that doesn't even make sense - surely if you skip meals the body would use they very resource it puts aside, rather than continue to store it? Else, what would be the point of the body storing it in the first place?! xD

So, I'm contemplating trying this 1 day a week fasting thing, because I wanna lose weight ("belly-fat", I should say) and the faster the better, within reason. Because I don't work (well, I have a community volunteer job which is pretty active, but that's only every Monday) and have these MH problems, I do tend to--typically--be at home a lot, and that involves activites like being in-front of the computer for hours on end, playing the guitar, and working out almost daily. (resistance and/or cardio for 20-50 minutes 5-6 times a week)

My diet is also pretty good, by the way; I'm sure it's not perfect, but I watch that I get protein, vitamins, I take Omega 3 tablets 1-2 times a day, I occasionally eat fruit, I often eat quite a bit of veg', I try to only take in natural sugars (except in tea and breakfast cereal, which is temporary until I can get some raisins) focus on getting fibre, typically from breakfast, I calorie-count, have a diet-log, and so on.

What are your opinions on fasting, and other related to this?

Has anyone tried this so-called healthy fasting?

Do you also recommend fasting?

Thanks!
