Yoyo effect

the 'yoyo' effect occurs because your body thinks it was (and actually was) starving and will just convert new nutrients to fat.

just eat a deficit you fucking mongoloid its not hard.

Ignore this fag. I have yet to see any real evidence of The yoyo effect.

I just came off a 1 week water fast and boy did it suck.

First off, if you think it's gonna be simple because you don't have to eat then you are in for a rude awakening. You need to supplement properly, and you need to balance your salt. It becomes as much of a hassle as just making food.

Also, most of the weight you lose will be muscle. That shit will go fast. I'd guess something loke maybe 7 days of gains to go in one day of fasting.

Plus of you do the math and say while fasting you'll have a TDEE of 2k, that's only twice as fast weight loss as a normal 1k cut. Actually it's even worse, because you'll lose far less muscle with a high protein 1k cut, so I'd estimate it's like 1.5 times faster fat loss.

In the meantime, enjoy anal leakage everytime you supplement with salt to fight the dizziness and faintness, while having a complete inability to a actually do intellectual activity for more than 30minutes at a time.

You will also feel weak physically, and you'll actually be weak physically.

Do a strict, hard cut with plenty of protein, and you'll hit your goal body much faster (assuming you're not going for trap mode).

Much of the yoyo comes from gaining water weight after refeeding. Your body will not just start converting all calories to fat, that is a myth that has been debunked decades ago.

ADF is best fast. It's simple as fuck.

No calorie counting, just eat (healthily) until your full and get all your macros. Lift with high rep count on feeding days to maintain (or even gain a little) muscle mass. As you get closer to your goal, switch to 5:2 instead of just going back to old habits.
