Fact or Fiction: Can You Lose Weight Without Exercise (or Dieting)?
This is one of the most common questions I receive on my blog. “Hi Ms Kaycee! Is it possible to lose weight without exercise or diet?”. WHAT. Did someone just ask me if pigs can fly or if the Philippines can finally see progress within the next 3 years? I don’t think so. We can look at it this way. Weight loss = Calories In – Calories Out. Meaning you shed the pounds if the result is negative. I DON’T BELIEVE IN EXTREME CALORIE RESTRICTION for losing weight. Especially those 1,200 calorie diet fads ugh gross.

FAQ: This is What Happens When You Fast for 24 Hours (in a Nutshell)
So what really happens to your body during a 24 hour fast? Believe it or not, you will not shrivel up and wither away! Our bodies are smarter than they (sometimes) appear and have biochemical mechanisms in place to adapt. Eight hours after your last meal, your body enters the “fasting” state because it takes about that long for your body to FULLY digest and absorb all nutrients (depending on the content of your pre-fast meal). At this time, your body uses its carbohydrate [glucose] stores (AKA glycogen) to provide energy. After an overnight fast, you will mostly deplete your liver glycogen stores. Research shows that after a 24-hour fast, without exercise, muscle glycogen stores were reduced by about 50%. Once you use up your…
