You need to run about 700 mins (more than 10 hours) to burn 1kg of body fat. That’s insane!
Luckily there is a better way. Fasting.
There is a so called ‘basal metabolic rate’ in our body, as in, the calories that our body need to use to supply the basic functions, such as breathing, heart beat, digestion, thinking, detoxification, blood pressure control, etc.
Such calories can easily range from 1500 – 2500, it’s like more than 2 hours of running. So, without exercise, and of course with fasting, you could easily burn off those extra body fat from your body.
1kg within 3-4 days just with water only.
That is why, intermittent fasting is so effective on losing weight.
