One of the things I hear a lot when I talk about how I am fasting intermittently is "You will wreck your metabolism doing that!". The truth is the research does NOT support this theory!!
This study followed 16 non-obese people who fasted on alternate days for 22 days. There was absolutely no statistically significant difference between beginning and ending metabolic rates. From what I have read when you fast, there is initially an INCREASE in metabolism, and metabolism does not begin to drop until about 36 hours into a fast (you do not even fast that long with intermittent fasting).
