Metabolic 'Damage'

further info. 5'11

This is why caloric restriction diets are outdated. Its impossible to lose weight without lowering your BMR. What you need to focus on is lowering insulin in the body. Do some research on water fasting, Its the fastest possible way to lose weight (Cant eat less than 0 calories) and Does NOT lower your BMR. Water fasting also starts a process called autophagy. Autophagy has a myriad of positive effects such as getting rid of loose skin, clearing up acne, reversing aging and in some cases reversing cancer cells. Check this vid out and watch a few other vids from Dr.Fung and you should be reasonably informed on the benfits of fasting. Stick to it man and you will make it in no time :)

Lyle McDonald has done some writing on metabolic adaptation, but I think he summarised the literature as being true only up to a point (IIRC ~15% of BMR). Still, 15% can be the difference between cutting and maintaining.

be wary of anything that claims to cure cancer and prevent ageing lol

plus, a water fast is caloric restriction taken to an extreme. If you're going to recommend fasting, might as well suggest intermittent fasting which also reduces circulating insulin
