>Does fasting fuck your metabolism long-term?
If someone fasted to a goal weight and went back to 2-3 meals per day, would they gain weight back? I know people do OMAD after fasting, but what about 2-3 while paying attention to cals?

Hey /fast/ I was wondering can you add zero calorie flavorings to the snake juice? On day 2 and this shit is kinda gross.

It's the only way I can stomach it. I'll do a few full squirts of it too.

from what I've seen no, you should stay on salt and water only for snake juice, besides from the ACV/lemon seperately.
I'm not too well-versed in the science, but it'll probably fuck with your insulin levels which is no bueno.

>would they gain weight back
You might a few kilos but that's water weight. You wont see an enormous yoyo effect. That's the whole point of fasting, it lowers your body's set point weight.

2-3 meals is normal. The problem is that people have like 3 snack moments in addition to that + every time they drink soda.

is it the amount of meals that really matter, or more of a calorie thing?
