Hello, steemit!
I just watched a great video on youtube about the difference in effects between fasting and eating less for weight loss.
Some of the advantages reviewed included less hunger in fasting versus daily calorie restriction, more preservation of muscle, and more energy. While reducing calories only may also result in weight loss, you may become more obsessed with food, lose more muscle mass, and have less energy.
Check out this video from youtube channel What I've Learned. It also has many other interesting videos:
