Fasting has different effects on everyone, but it can be a useful tool for slowing your metabolism. I’m sure you’ve seen someone who suffered from restrictive eating rapidly gain 10+ lbs once they recovered. Much of that comes from their body’s slower metabolism. Other ways to mimic this effect come from a sedentary lifestyle and alcohol consumption. That’s right! Alcohol isn’t just useful for easy liquid calories. Taken during the post-meal metabolic window, it will inhibit your ability to do much more with fat than to store it. Alcoholic gainer shakes with high fat content are close to the best science can come up with for rapid weight gain.
