Fasting and Metabolic Rate (How to avoid Starvation Mode) | Jason Fung

Metabolic rate is how much energy (calories) your body uses in a day for normal function. Calorie restricted diets lower metabolic rate, and this limits weight loss, and is often called starvation mode. Dr. Jason Fung explains why fasting does not lower metabolic rate thus allowing you to avoid the dreaded starvation mode that leads to weight loss plateau.
