After doing some research, I have yet to see a reason why an obese person would not want to just fast their way down to a healthy body fat percentage. If anyone can raise some legitimate points for debate that'd be great as I need some more views on this so I can do further research. Feel free to be as technical as you like in reasons for or against said topic. Please include sources for referenced information. Feel free to through up cliches so they can be shown as inaccurate or proven either way. :)
