Hi Dylan,
Actually, if you stop eating, your metabolism will drop, so when you
start eating again, you will gain weight.
If you are interested, I can share some ideas with you.
One, make sure you are taking your B vitamins (riboflavin, thiamin,
niacin, biotin, and pantothenic acid). Because of their role in energy
metabolism, they are an important requirement if you want to boost
your metabolic rate.
Two, ensure you are getting enough Biotin. Biotin is a water-soluble
sulfur-containing member of the B vitamin family. Biotin plays an
essential role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis by acting as a
cofactor with enzymes involved in carboxylation reactions. These
enzymes catalyze key reactions in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid
metabolism, and amino acid catabolism.
Biotin is found in numerous foods and also is synthesized by
intestinal bacteria. Therefore, deficiencies are rare and generally
seen only after prolonged antibiotic therapies that deplete the
beneficial intestinal bacteria or following excessive consumption of
raw egg whites.
There have been no reports of toxic reactions even in people taking
doses up to 200 mg orally and 20 mg intravenously. Foods relatively
rich in biotin include egg yolk, liver and some vegetables.
If you want to know more, please email me back.

Glenda
