>resting metabolic rate decreased 8% during fasting
That's a decrease of only 160 cal per day with a BMR of 2k. That's very little. It's not even close to making up for the deficit of an entire day without calories.

>The bottom line: Nutrition experts agree that fasting is a potentially dangerous, and not particularly effective, way to lose weight. Instead of a fast, opt for a healthy skippidy doo bop doo wop fart fart fart poo poo pee pee in my pants fart fart
