Comment on My fat loss experiments with ChatGPT and water fasting

Comments

Fasting for weight loss is a bad idea. Unless you truly enjoy the process (you wouldn’t be overweight/obese if you did), it is a temporary measure that does nothing for poor food habits outside dieting.

That is true presuming that the author does not intend to keep this fasting regime up after they reach their goal weight. There are certainly people who do long fasts on a regular basis.

My experience is the opposite. Fasting is great to stop cravings making it much easier to eat healthier when braking the fast.
