THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTERMITTENT FASTING AND STARVATION
Achalugo: Obiageli, let me ask you… this your intermittent fasting people are shouting up and down, abeg, is it not just starvation with a fine name?
Obiageli: (laughs) Achalugo, you’ve joined them?
Fasting and starvation might look similar on the surface, but they are completely different things.
Achalugo: But how? If somebody doesn’t eat for hours, is it not the same thing? Hunger is hunger.
Obiageli: No. The difference is intention and effect. Starvation is when you don’t have food. It’s forceful, it’s painful, it stresses your organs, and your body goes into panic mode.
But intermittent fasting is intentional. You choose not to eat for a period. Food is available, but you’re resting your system. And instead of panic, your body switches into healing mode.
Achalugo: Healing mode? As in?
Obiageli: When you fast, your body burns stored fat for energy. It reduces insulin, balances blood sugar, repairs damaged cells, and clears waste. That’s why people who fast often look lighter, sharper, and even have better skin.
But starvation is the opposite. The body breaks down muscle instead of fat, weakens your immune system, and damages your health over time.
Achalugo: So fasting is like repairing, but starvation is like destroying?
Obiageli: Exactly. Fasting is controlled. Starvation is crisis.
Achalugo: But Obiageli, anytime I try to fast, my stomach will start making noise. People in the office even laugh at me. Doesn’t that mean my body is suffering?
Obiageli: (smiles) No. That sound is called the migrating motor complex. It’s like your intestines sweeping out leftover food particles. It happens only when you give your gut a break. So that noise is actually a sign that your body is cleaning itself.
Achalugo: Ahh, I thought it was my destiny crying for rice.
Obiageli: (laughs) No o! Your body is smarter than you think.
Achalugo: But won’t fasting give me ulcer?
Obiageli: That’s another common myth. Ulcer is not caused by fasting — it’s caused by H. pylori infection, or sometimes too much NSAID drugs.
In fact, fasting often gives the stomach lining time to heal, because you’re not constantly pouring pepper, seed oil, and alcohol on it.
Achalugo: Hmm. So if I fast, I’m actually helping my stomach rest.
Obiageli: Exactly. And another thing: starvation slows your metabolism. Your body holds on to fat because it thinks food may never come. But intermittent fasting improves metabolism. Your body becomes more efficient at using energy.
Achalugo: So the body knows the difference?
Obiageli: The body always knows. With fasting, the body says, “Okay, she’s resting us, let’s repair.” With starvation, the body says, “We’re in danger, shut everything down.”
Achalugo: Wow. So intermittent fasting is like putting your phone on power-saving mode to refresh it. But starvation is like throwing the charger away completely.
Obiageli: That’s the perfect example.
Achalugo: Obiageli, I swear I’ve been mocking people for nothing. From today, I won’t call fasting starvation again.
Obiageli: Good. And when people argue with you, explain it to them the way I just explained it to you. Knowledge saves lives.
Don't forget to reach out for a diet plan. Share and tag your friends.
@cacnigeria1 The inability to include specific nature of business in business name other than selection is a serious one. Also, the payment of stamp duty is challenging
@cacnigeria1 I tried the improved platform. Name search was almost immediately. Upon commencement of registration proper, there was no room for specific nature of business where one can express what he/she is into unlike before. The idea of having to choose isn't too ok. Kindly revisit this
