Is it okay to fast for an entire day if I'm trying to lose

Intermittent fasting supposedly raises your natural HGH, with 40 hours without food producing the peak of this effect.

The whole starvation mode thing is a meme, don't worry about it

Won't make a difference if the next day you eat double your calories.

>started cutting 2 months ago
>down 25lbs

why the fuck are you saying you don't feel like you've made much progress?

you didn't gain all of the weight overnight, and you wont lose it overnight either. it takes time to lose weight. look up the paper towel effect

There's no reason to do that. It won't make too much of a difference long term, so why cause yourself pain just to be tough?

Fasting is more of a fell good/willpower thing. It's not super effective at losing weight since it just makes you hungrier when you stop doing it. Go ahead if you want to, but I think it makes more sense just to do it to prove to yourself you can do it, or for spiritual reasons, not for practical purposes.

Because I'm still fucking fat. And fasting for a full day isn't even that bad, I just drink a lot of water and burping eases the hunger.

See you again in a month when you decide to attempt to lose weight again :^)

and you'll remain fat for a long time, you dumb faggot. it takes TIME to become not fat. there's no magical trick that is going to make you instantly lose weight, keep going with whatever diet you're doing to keep losing the weight.

ffs I'm a former fatty and people like you are why we have a bad name.

I once lost a heap of weight by eating nothing but one cup a soup (1% of recommended calorie dose) in a day, a salad (23% of recommended calorie dose) + that soup on day 2 and once in the week I ate a kebab (don't know the RCD of that)

I had to quit doing that after a month because I literally felt drunk all the time and got musclepain in my back and that caused me trouble at my job

if you can live with those then yes, you'll be fine

You should only lose weight in a way you can do sustainably. There's a reason why people "gain it back", because they never bother really learning and adopting a lifestyle where you can live comfortably without counting.
