A doctor has revealed a 36-hour fasting method that is said to help lose belly fat fast. Speaking on the latest episode of Diary Of A CEO podcast, nutrition and functional medicine expert Dr Mindy Pelz discussed the certain things people can do if they're struggling to budge stubborn belly fat.
Explaining her method as being one of the most intense forms of dieting - fasting for 36 hours before eating again for 12 hours - she said: "So the fat burner fast is probably my favourite for those people who want to lose weight." Detailing the research behind the method, she added: "At 36 hours what happens is that's enough time where the blood sugars come down.
"And all of a sudden the body goes 'okay, blood sugar isn't coming, we've been in this fasted state, we've trigger autophagy, we've brought inflammation down, we've made you ketones, we're trying to go find you food, but this extra weight is not serving you'."
