is one day of fasting (every so often) worth it during sustained cut to lose close to 1lbs fat that day

[appealmaxed]

in a sustained cut rn, eating basically meats only and whole foods. fat loss is going well.

is it worth incorporating a day of no eating every so often to lose close to 1lbs in that day.assuming i burn 2500 a day that’s 0.7lbs (2500/3500) from that one day alone of fasting.
and this shouldn’t lower metabolism or have negative effects since only done for one day.
in practice does this work?

Yes, you could even do longer fasts like 2-3 days to detox your body n shiet too

For the weight loss aspect waterfasting (like you said for a day) is great

7000 calories are 1kilo of fat. If you usually eat 2000 calories a day you'd lose around a quarter kilo (half a pound I think)
