The body enters a good state.

Section 7 The ultimate goal of intermittent fasting is not weight loss
Although fasting can help with detoxification and weight loss, weight loss is not the ultimate goal of fasting.
Fasting solely for weight loss inevitably leads to impatience and a desire for quick results. Furthermore, not enough people are fasting only for weight loss.
Understanding the health benefits of fasting can also lead to blind fasting. Therefore, even if weight is lost after fasting, it's easy to...
It damages vital energy and harms physical health. Statistics show that people who fast purely for weight loss typically have a very low success rate.
Because fasting is actually a rather arduous form of "self-cultivation," it requires the body to restrain its appetite and adhere to its own principles.
However, "eating is human nature," and the desire to eat is a basic human instinct. Although some people can restrain their desires and persevere...
They come, but most ultimately fail. Those who lack self-discipline and willpower either give up halfway or fail completely.
Immediately after fasting ends, binge eating is detrimental. Such fasting will further harm the body and damage health, leading to a conclusion...
The arbitrary conclusion that "fasting is bad" is unacceptable.
Furthermore, the current trend of "thin is beautiful" leads some people, especially girls, to prefer thinness even when they are not fat.
In pursuit of the so-called "skinny beauty," blindly dieting can lead to symptoms such as anemia, malnutrition, and hypoglycemia.
Some people even develop anorexia nervosa as a result, experiencing abdominal pain or stomach discomfort whenever they eat anything.
In fact, medical research has long confirmed that excessive thinness is not beneficial to human health, especially for women.
Because sufficient fat signifies a woman's maturity.
A healthy teenage girl should have at least 10% body fat.
A basal body mass index (BMI) of 17% is required to promote sexual maturity. Fat is also a major source of energy for female fertility. (The text then abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated topic: A woman's ten months of pregnancy and the period before...)
During the three-month breastfeeding period, a body fat percentage of over 23% is required for a successful pregnancy and to ensure the baby's health.
If a pregnant woman's body fat does not meet basic requirements, she is more prone to miscarriage, premature birth, and other complications.
Therefore, the purpose of fasting is not weight loss, but to restore weight to a normal level while conditioning the body and maintaining health.
Maintaining a balance in the body's energy metabolism. The idea that fasting can lead to rapid weight loss is neither scientific nor...
That's unrealistic. As a healthy natural therapy, fasting has many rules. Only by truly mastering the rules of fasting and...
Key points for successful fasting: For obese individuals, weight loss should occur normally without affecting their health; for thin individuals, weight loss should occur...
Not only will it not decrease, it might even increase. Furthermore, blindly fasting without understanding the risks, even at the beginning of a fast, can lead to health problems.
Weight can be lost quickly, but it is also easy to regain it quickly once you resume eating after the fast ends.
Additionally, during fasting, the body's balance system is under stress and sends signals to fat storage systems.
The fat storage system, through an instinctive conditioned reflex, is always ready to increase the storage of body fat.
Therefore, once eating resumes after fasting, the body will store fat at an even greater rate, especially if appetite cannot be controlled.
Appropriate restraint and control of diet are necessary; overeating can easily harm the body.
Therefore, choosing to fast must be considered from a health perspective, and fasting should be done regularly and in a planned manner.
Never use fasting as a method for weight loss, or blindly fast in order to lose weight. Otherwise, fasting will not only be ineffective,
On the contrary, it is harmful.
