Does fasting affects the skin and hair condition?

[salonspasource]

HELLO All,

I want to do fast to loss my weight and i also heard that fasting is also good dieting for weight loss and health. That is good to take a fast in a week.

But want to know that does fasting make any effect on the health of our skin and hair? And also like to know that what i should eat during fast and after fast?

Fasting is a bad idea for weight loss IMO, because you lose more muscle mass (which you want to keep!) than fat.

Any diet will take months to show any effect on your hair, because the hair you see is dead substance. It´s the hair that grows new that can look better if you use certain supplements etc (although there is controversy about whether or not these pills actually work)

Fasting may have an effect on your skin, but it will be temporary. After the fasting is over, your weight will come back, and any skin improvement will probably vanish. So I wouldn´t even bother doing it personally.

You´re probably way better off with a healthy, balanced diet, exercise and supplements if you wish.

Yea... Fasting for weight loss is actually STARVING yourself. So not a good idea. Just change what you eat, excercise and drink water...
