If you fast every day for 16 hours and eat for 8 hours, your body's energy-burning rate starts to slow down after 2-3 weeks.
Scientific Claim
Daily 16:8 fasting can lead to a metabolic slowdown within 2-3 weeks due to unintentional caloric restriction.
Original Statement
“If you fast every day, especially with 168, and you unintentionally undereat, you have about 2 to 3 weeks of a window before your metabolism begins to slow down. And that's why people see amazing results for like two, three weeks and then the wheels fall off.”
