When we fast, we learn to burn our own body fat as insulin stays low.
Our metabolism doesn’t slow down due to availability of ‘calories’ on our body. Furthermore due to the increase in HGH, muscle is maintained and even increased.
Fasting is the opposite of starving, you are simply switching fuel source.
You are giving your body a chance to burn what you have laid down over the years.
‘Reducing your calories’, but not having a decent amount of time without eating will signal to your body it is starving, so your metabolism will slow down to match the calories eaten.
