But there’s one celebrity dude who feels your pain: Matt Damon....

Evidence from a study published in The Journal Physiology shows that exercising in a ‘fasted state’ engages our body to burn more fat and potentially prevent weight gain, the New York Times reports. In the study, researchers convinced healthy, young men to gorge themselves for six weeks on a diet consisting of 20 percent more calories and 50 percent more fat than what they were eating before.
