The basic premise of weight loss fasting is that if you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. This has caused some degree of controversy with basically two camps. One, who believes this basic premise, and the other who opposes it.
Those who subscribe to the belief that fasting can cause weight loss use common sense math as their justification. If you burn 2000 calories in a day, and you take in zero calories, you will lose weight. Obviously, if you haven't taken in any calories and your body has been burning calories for daily activities such as breathing, walking, and moving, those calories had to come from somewhere. Your body would have burned its reserve of sugar stores, and, once these have been depleted, your body begins to burn fat.
Those opposed claim that during a fast, your body goes into a type of "hibernation mode." In hibernation, your metabolism is slowed to the point where your body burns very few calories and that by fasting you will not lose weight. Or, if you do lose a little weight, as soon as you break your fast, your body will try to bulk up on calories anticipating another "hibernation."
Whatever your belief, we have gathered a large number of articles to help you decide.
