>>11054854>redpill me on>fastingIt's very healthy and a great way to encourage weight loss without being hungry all the time. If you find intermittent fasting hard, then try to take out whole days instead. You will stop feeling hungry when your body enters ketosis. The time entering ketosis might be unusually long (1-3 days) for those who haven't been in ketosis for a long time. After a few times your body will learn to enter ketosis faster (8-12h). The health benefits of fasting happens when your body is in ketosis. You can also enter ketosis without fasting by eating food without carbohydrates (ketogenic diet). However, a long term ketogenic diet is not recommended as it will require eating lots of fat to fulfill daily caloric requirements. Fat in general is associated with cardiovascular disease, heart disease and stroke (especially saturated fat).
>weight lossDiet is a much more potent factor in weight loss than exercise. Different diets with same calorie count can have different effect on weight loss. Your body will not like cutting down on food, and you will feel hungry all the time. In the beginning your body will resist weight loss by becoming more efficient. After a while it will give in and start devouring your fat.
>why I can't stop comfort eating and why do I feel like I need to comforted all the timeAre you eating a lot of simple carbohydrates (sugar) that tends to spike your blood sugar a lot? When blood sugar decreases after such a spike strong cravings (usually for more food that spike blood sugar level) emerge. Avoid foods with lots of simple carbohydrates (sugar). Carbohydrates in general are OK.
