Surely fasting is counter-productive for weight loss...

the metabolism slows so that the body burns less energy even at rest and when [generic] you do eat you might tend to be hungrier and more likely to put back on extra weight.

With respect, I read that starving and then overfeeding is a method used to fatten animals.

I also read that our bodies can store enough Glycogen in the Liver and Muscles for 24 - 48 hours... perhaps this explains the raise in BG even when fasting
