So I will start this off just talking about some of the benefits of intermittent fasting, and why it is healthy and not unhealthy.
Intermittent fasting is actually very healthy and good for the body. Your body was not designed to eat that frequently. You're supposed to have long periods of not eating. The body can also survive on much less food than you think. It would take a lot longer than you think to die from actually going in to starvation. Feeling hungry and literally being starving are two completely different things. Most people in the modern world have never actually been starving ever in their entire life. They might of been very hungry, but never starving.
Intermittent fasting cures many medical conditions. The most prescribed drugs world wide are anti inflammatory drugs. Intermittent fasting is the best thing you can do to cure inflammation. Intermittent fasting cures type two diabetics, insulin resistance and many more medical conditions. Your body simply was not meant to eat that frequently. It is terrible for your body eating that frequently. But we live in a time where eating frequently is promoted, and that is for one reason only, money. The reason intermittent fasting isn't promoted is because it's free, and food companies and the pharmaceutical industry would take a hard hit if more people done intermittent fasting, because people wouldn't be eating as much food and also wouldn't need as much medication. Also businesses promoting exercise would maybe get slightly hit as well. Because the reason a lot of people go to things like the gym is to lose weight, and if they were doing intermittent fasting they wouldn't need to go to the gym to lose weight, as they would already be slim. As intermittent fasting is much more effective for weight loss than exercise.
Another thing you need to realise is you might not feel good intermittent fasting at first, and think I can't do this. But your body actually quickly adapts until the point you don't actually feel hungry all that often. Then you easily don't eat anything for upwards of 16 hours no problem.
It's somewhat frustrating to me when some people are really overweight and they really complain saying they have tried everything to lose weight. Well they certainly have not done strict intermittent fasting. Because if they done strict intermittent fasting it would be inevitable they would lose weight. But the problem is people would literally rather stuff their face and then complain about being overweight. You get some people that stuff their face and then exercise and wonder why they're not losing any weight, it's crazy. But then again I do understand that people are lead to believe that fasting is unhealthy. So this could also be another reason why more people don't do it. Because those big companies certainly do not want to lose millions of pounds/dollars every year and for you to be healthier.
But the original point I was trying to make is your body might actually lose fat quicker than it would gain fat. Lets say you had someone who stuffed their face constantly with fast food for 3 days. Then lets say that same person didn't eat a single thing for 3 days. It is actually more likely that the not eating anything for 3 days would make this person lose more fat than the fat they would of gained stuffing their face for 3 days. So really the body does actually lose fat quicker than it gains fat. But yes it probably is still more difficult for a person to lose fat quicker than gain fat. Because eating is very pleasurable for most people, and it is much easier for them to stuff their face than not eat anywhere near as frequently.
