No. It doesn’t. It won’t. When you fast for more than 12 hours the body starts burning fat, and it burns fat until there’s no more fat to burn. That’s when it starts burning muscles and organ tissues. So, yeah, only a few know a normal body has 100,000 calories of fat = 50 days of survival if you fast. Look up ketosis on google and you’ll know why you feel dizzy, you feel dizzy because your body is used to burn glucose instead of fat and it becomes a sugar addict. When your body gets used to burning fat instead of using glucose as its main energy source, you stop feeling dizzy because there’s plenty of energy in it.

The only reason why your body likes glucose so much it’s because it’s instant energy, unlike fat, which requires more effort to be burned.

Inspiration to fast again 💕

This is gonna change my fasting game

Reblogging again 👌

Hello, as someone who actually studied this in school for a few years and has a basic knowledge of biology and chemistry, please why are you spreading this misinformation? You are actively harming people. You could be actively killing people.

I have no respect for people who reblog this. Please please please educate yourself before you reblog something. Tumblr is NOT a sience side. Not everything you read on here is right.

This post can do so much harm. THIS Is promoting eating disorders and it hurts my heart so much that some person found this, believed it and might ended up with medical issues or even worse because you thought you ‘knew better’.

Sorry for the little vent. Things like this really hurt my heart.
