Study: Fasting Triggers Body-Wide Changes After 3 Days
(www.sciencedaily.com)
Fasting for a week:
- Causes significant changes in protein levels across various organs.
- May have health benefits beyond weight loss, but only after 3 days.
- Switches energy source from glucose to fat after 2-3 days.
- Average weight loss of 5.7 kg (fat and muscle), with most fat loss sustained after 3 days of eating.
Implications:
- Provides insights into the molecular basis of fasting's health effects.
- Paves the way for developing alternative treatments based on fasting benefits.
- Confirms historical use of fasting for specific health conditions.
Looks like it's 5.7 kg loss in a week, the weight loss is sustained after resuming eating for 3 days
