Question

In order to lose 12 pounds, your friend wants to fast for a week. You don't think it is a good idea. Which of the following statements BEST explains why she should not fast and provides her with a better alternative?

Answer 1

Not eating or skipping meals will not make you lose fat. Starving ourselves will only cause us to lose muslces, not fat. You still need to eat right and healthy to lose weight. The proper way to lose 12 pounds is to eat healthy and have proper exercise. Fat is stored energy and it's hard to metabolize from our body. However, starving ourselves will only cause it to further stay and provide stored energy from lack of energy from food we should have eaten.
