Can you fast to lose weight even when you’re very thin?

My friend is fasting because he’s trying to burn fat but he’s really tall and skinny...could that hurt him? I don’t know much about it but if you’re thinner, isn’t the goal to eat more proteins etc, to bulk up? Just curious.

Fasting is safe. People have done it for millions of years due to scarcity and religious reasons. Even skinny people have enough fat stores to go for days without food. Search Alan Fung on YouTube to get the basics if you are interested.

I understand that but my point is, he’s already pretty thin. @SW-User
