Fasting and Calorie Restriction are NOT the Same Thing - Here's Why

Many people think fasting works because it’s another form of calorie restriction, but this is not the case. Your body fuels itself differently with calorie restriction than it does with fasting. This difference is one of the reasons fasting is so effective at helping people lose fat, not just weight. In this episode, Krista describes the difference. Also see below for multiple sources of additional information.

Besides the sources below, anything from Peter Attia, Thomas DeLauer, Jason Fung, and David Asprey are also great for learning about fasting and weight loss. Some of their stuff is pretty “sciency,” but they all have lots of easy-to-understand information as well.
