I think the best science says that the only way to lose weight and keep it off long term is to make permanent lifestyle changes. So if you can make fasting a permanent part of your lifestyle then yeah I would say it should work for you.

I began my first fast back when Dick Gregor was fasting for protest in the 1970's. I made it two weeks and it want easy. THerr are a lot of misconception surrounding fasting. There's a right way and a wrong way to do it. It's a goid way to clean your system of toxins and unnecessary fat if done correctly.

I fast regularly for min 36 hours a week a I am OK!
