I've just spent a month fasting every other weekday (Mon Wed Fri). I drank liquids including mixtures of fruit/vegetable juice with pulp sieved out. I've also put on weight during the month. I didn't increase my intake on food days. I didn't do it to lose weight but you'd expect there to be some reduction.?!??!!? My theory is that actually basal metabolic rate is a myth and that it's all variable and chaotic. I don't think anyone really understands how our metabolism works. You know what's a bitch? Running a 2000-calorie-a-day deficit and gaining weight.
