Why is a fat fast dangerous?

[shanny2121]

I have ben reading lots of stuff about the fat fast. I have been trying to research it, but I canonly find a couple of blurbs saying that if you are not metabolically resistant it is dangerous. Does anyone know why?

do your search on the harmful effects of rapid weight loss and you will see the medical reasons why

I can appreciate the desire to lose weight as quickly as possible. And I know it's easy to think something bad won't happen to you. But no one is immune to mistreating your body.

Losing weight too quickly puts a strain on your body, leaches vitamins and minerals and other good things out of your muscles and bones, lean tissue is cannabalized, and it can't be sustained. You'll probably go into starvation mode (fat fast is very low calorie, if done as prescribed) which means that when you go back to eating more, you'll put weight back on.

But you'll be in a worse place, since you've consumed muscle, which weighs more than fat.

*Are* you metabolically resistent to losing weight?
