The doctor evaluated the effectiveness of fasting days in losing weight Doctor Chukhacheva: Fasting days are ineffective in losing weight and do not cleanse the body 10:54

There is no scientific evidence that fasting days are effective for weight loss. Additionally, it does not have any detox effect on the body. Olga Chukhacheva, endocrinologist and nutritionist at the Docmed evidence-based medicine clinic network, told socialbites.ca.

“Current research data show that intermittent fasting, including changes in fasting days, is no more effective in reducing body weight compared to a hypocaloric balanced diet (when we eat regularly and fully, but energy expenditure exceeds consumption). Also, fasting days and fasting do not lead to the breakdown and elimination of toxins – such terms do not exist in medicine at all. The kidneys, liver, lungs and intestines also do an excellent job of eliminating everything unnecessary,” the doctor said.

The doctor emphasized that sharply restricting calorie intake increases the likelihood of regaining weight after a diet. This is because after a fasting day, a person tends to overeat.

“In addition, fasting or extreme calorie deficit is often accompanied by fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, headache and constipation. “With a prolonged decrease in the calorie content of the diet below 1200 kcal, vitamin, macro- and microelement deficiencies (for example, iron, vitamin B9, B12, calcium) may develop, and menstrual irregularities may develop in girls,” Chukhacheva said.
