Do NOT listen to the person on this app that keeps trying to convince people that the best way to lose weight is to fast for 3-4 days out of the week. This will cause irreparable damage to your organs and body, you will lose your hair and period

Exactly! Your metabolism will be wrecked after this. Also it’s better to develop sustainable habits that you can keep in the long term. I understand people nowadays want quick fixes but fasting for 3-4 days out of the week will destroy your health/metabolism.

THIS!!!! Not to fucking trauma dump but as someone with an eating disorder, ts will genuinely destroy you, not even just physically but mentally. It ruins your body and your mental stability, i got extremely depressed, had no motivation, and zero energy. Please, please, please do not do this!!!!

Yayyy you’re so strong! Also by fasting I didn’t mean intermittent fasting, the person DMing people is telling people to straight up not eat at all for days at a time

I think we do! As a society it’s not talked about enough! Short term diets and being in a strict calorie deficit does in fact negatively affect your health.

please spreading misinformation is the sole goal of your post. fasting for a few days will not cause a significant negative decrease in body fat(which is what causes period and hair loss) you sound insanely stupid i promise not gorging yourself constantly will kill you 💗

It can make you very dehydrated, it can cause electrolyte imbalances, these two issues can harm your kidneys. Your liver can be overloaded, and if you drink alcohol at all it can cause even more harm to your liver. It increases the risk for gallstones. It can harm your blood pressure and sodium levels, with this i can lead to irregular heart rhythms and can cause cardiovascular stress. It also isn’t good for your stomach whatsoever! But you should really do your own research.
