Fasting is really good for you. Can we use this argument to shut down the reeeing about starvation mode? Every now and then I have days where I just don't feel like eating, so I don't. I never knew that I was subconsciously doing something good for me. Apparently, fasting can help prevent a bunch of diseases, and is particularly good for your brain. Fasting can significantly lower your risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and can help your brain function. It can also help your immune system, your liver, and can even help your skin to look better. Apparently when the body isn't digesting most of the day it will work on other systems and will even create stem cells in the brain and repair dna.  So, basically, intermittent fasting is great for the human body and starvation mode won't kick in when you're not eating, cell repair and brain function will actually improve. So for all the fats out there, starvation mode isn't a thing unless you're actually starving like people during the holocaust or in third world countries. All this reeeing that not eating will make your body store more fat isn't a thing, in fact fasting is good for your metabolism and digestion.  The next time a fat person tries to use the starvation mode fatlogic about eating less, I'm going to point them to some actual evidence that they're full of shit and fasting is something the human body should actually do. You know, instead of treating your body like a garbage disposal 24/7 with a constant stream of food and huge portions.
