Fasting

I'm here to tell you why I think fasting is more likely to set you up for failure and make you fat in the long run.

Metabolism- Eating regularly keeps it working hard and strong; meaning that it processes food through your body faster instead of trying to hold on to it. When you starve yourself, your metabolism slows down and tells your body that the next time it gets any food, it's gotta be extra stingy and store as much fat as it can. Your body thinks it's emergency time, that hungry times lie ahead and it's gotta prepare. You have to eat eventually, right? You need it to live and avoid the hospital. So keep your metabolism active for proper digestion otherwise that next inevitable meal is gonna be packing on more pounds than necessary.

Warning: Binge Risk! When you deprive yourself for days, your body and mind both go into a panicked state. You stop thinking clearly. You're probably going to get more emotional and cranky. These things all set you up to binge. Binging is obviously not something you want. Think of how far you've come and how disgusting you'll feel when you're finished stuffing your face and realize what you've done. Keep your body stable. Stay smart. Eat small amounts several times a day to prevent a breakdown.
