I do want to loose weight, but not from not eating.... I already don't eat much. I often will eat about 1.5 meals a day. If I don't eat, my hair falls out. I would really like to reverse my insulin resistance and repair mitochondria and detox pathways. I would love to restore my hair, it's been rapidly thinning for about a decade. I tried intermitten fasting and I lost some weight, but I lost a lot of weight when I went 4 days without eating and my hair was falling out. So, I realize I need to eat for my hair. I'm told that the reta does more than loose weight, but will actually address these issue minus the hair.
