7 Diet Rules You Should Ignore

4. Fasting

Ting Will Help You Lose Weight Fast You are likely to lose weight if you eat less than you usually do. So lose a ton of weight if you stop eating altogether, right? But hold on—this logic is not entirely sound. The metabolism slows down when you stop eating, your body goes into “starvation mode,” in order to use whatever food it has available, and your weight loss will slow down. Of course, if you’ve been fasting (partly) for many days or weeks, you’ll lose weight. And if you do it long term, you will lose a lot of weight, but also increase your risk of heart failure, brittle bones, muscle loss and weakness, fainting, dry hair and skin, hair loss, and even death.
