You can't force your body to starve. The lack of food, the lack of its energy value or volume, is perceived by the body not as a measure of recovery, but as the onset of a difficult period when it is necessary to stock up on nutrients. In such a situation, there is a risk not to lose weight, but, on the contrary, to get better. Proper nutrition is always regular nutrition. In order to fully normalize metabolism and get rid of excess weight, the body must be "accustomed" to the timely receipt of food. As a rule, it is recommended to break your diet into at least 5 times and eat small meals.
