you need to understand the basics of wight loss. cutting food completely puts you in starvation mode. you will literally lose weight faster by keeping your metabolism going, but at a deficit

but martin berkhan ( the guy behind leangains and the rise of intermittent fasting ) says that starvation mode is a myth.
brad pilon in eat-stop-eat advocates 2-3 30 hour fasts a week. I just don't want to lose a slow pound a week, I'm 15 lbs overweight and want to lift the heavy weight asap, this shit is killing me.

>Starvation mode

Drop your fucking momscience. Starvation mode happens after weeks of not eating, not a short fast. OP will probably be hungry but fine for the first 2 days, then feel like shit for the last one. I think 2-3 24 hour IF per week would probably work better, tho.

daily starvation mode is a myth. 3 days without food has a direct influence on metabolism. dont let anyone fool you. you're better off eating a cup of oats every hour, than not eating anything that day. assuming you exercise

well I can do that I suppose. I just liked the idea of not cooking/buying at all for 3 consecutive days.
What's your reasoning behind this? less muscle loss spreading the fast days?

>>38696340
Fasting releases catabolic (cortisol) as well as anabolic hormones (HGH & Insulin). The muscle-sparing mechanisms of IF depend on the interplay between muscle-saving HGH & Insulin, and tissue-breaking cortisone. A 3 day fast would cause your cortisol levels to go crazy without any increases in the anabolic hormones beyond those in the first 24-ish hours.

*cortisol, not cortisone

No, the body DOES actually change if you don't eat.
Women for example see a total drop in their metabolism if they go without food for too long.
Their bodies are fighting tooth and fucking nail to preserve itself and it's ability to reproduce and have a healthy babby.

But for men? No we can starve ourselves and outside of our test dropping to shit we'll see some real weight loss, chunk of it will be muscle, but it's still weight loss.

you wont lose muscle until you get down to like 5% bf srs. make sure you stay healthy though
