So, I'm sick and I have very little appetite and it hurts to swallow. Obviously I don't want to eat very much. Actually, I could probably eat nothing for a few days and be fine...
but I'm really worried about what this will do to my weightloss! I know that fasting will cause loss in the short-term, but then the body goes into "starvation mode" and that will mess with my metabolism, so that when I do start to eat normally again, I will gain back all the weight I lost and then some. At least, that's been my experience.
How can I avoid that? How much does a person have to eat to keep up the metabolism? Any suggestions, advice, or personal experience stories would be appreciated!
