How fasting or changing the amount of food that you eat, tampers with your metabolism?
In: Biology
Think of your fat stores like a garbage bag. You cannot take things out and put things inside simultaneously. If you keep putting things inside without taking stuff out, the garbage bag will keep growing until it’s too big and far.
Basically what is happening when you fast, you’re letting your insulin fall. Whenever you eat food, your body releases insulin into your bloodstream to signal cells to uptake the glucose in your blood, thus, lowering blood sugar. However, insulin also stimulates the pathway for filling fat stores. If you keep eating multiple.meals throughout the day, you won’t give your body a chance to let the insulin fall. When you fast, you allow insulin levels to decrease in your blood. Once insulin levels have decreased, that is when the signal to store fat stops, allowing your body to be able to start using energy from your fat stores again.
