Considering Water Fasting to Lose Weight or Do a Cleanse?

In this video, Dr. Vikki cautions against extreme water fasting trends promoted on social media, emphasizing the risks of putting the body into crisis mode. Instead, she recommends the fasting mimicking diet, a five-day low-calorie plan developed by Dr. Valter Longo, which provides balanced nutrients while offering fasting benefits. She warns that prolonged fasting should only be done under medical supervision and is not suitable for underweight individuals.

Key takeaway: make informed health decisions and approach weight loss sensibly rather than following social media fads.
