Does fasting help with weight loss?

I'm really struggling to lose weight, and everyone keeps talking about intermittent fasting these days. I'm wondering if it really works. Does fasting genuinely help with weight loss, or is it just another fad?

I totally get it, trying to lose weight can be so frustrating and exhausting. Fasting does help some people create a calorie deficit, but it can be hard to sustain. Take it easy on yourself and find a balance that doesn't make you feel miserable.

Actually fasting works for weight loss, yaar, but the moment you stop, weight comes back if you eat junk. I tried 16:8 intermittent fasting and lost some kgs, but maintaining it is the real task.

I know how heavy it feels when you look in the mirror and nothing seems to work, it really hurts. Fasting can work physically, but please make sure it doesn't mess with your relationship with food. Your mental peace is way more important than a number on the scale.

Fasting is a budget-friendly way to cut down calories since you spend less on groceries! But practically, first spend about 1500-2000 rupees on a full body checkup to see if your body can handle it. Planning your meals simple like dal, rice, and local veggies is much cheaper and highly effective.

Because of my thyroid, my metabolism is very slow and plain fasting never worked for me. If you are struggling to lose weight despite trying, please get your TSH, HbA1c, and Vitamin D levels tested first. Talk to your doctor to see if there is any underlying hormonal issue.
