Along with fasting, you need regular exercise and calorie control, it is not that only fasting will not have much effect on the body. Fasting can increase metabolism, but it is not the right way to lose fat.
Short Term Weight Loss
In the beginning, fasting can lead to rapid weight loss, but it is mostly water weight. After fasting, weight loss may stabilize or increase again. Let us understand that when we eat food, more energy is stored in the body in the form of glycogen. This glycogen is stored in our liver and muscles. When you fast, the body first uses this glycogen as energy. When glycogen stores are depleted, the body starts using fat stores for energy. This is the reason why fasting for a long time leads to weight loss. But this method is not considered correct.
Know what research says
According to research, fasting for a long time can reduce the percentage of body fat slightly. Nevertheless, it is necessary to exercise and control calories along with regular fasting for fat loss.
