first of all. Why? I mean why starve? Fasting is not starving. Fasting is when you voluntarily go without food. Starving is when you have no idea when the next meal is coming and you’re fat reserves are almost depleted. Big difference.
Regardless, why go without food when there is a lot of food around? Most people can’t go without skipping one meal let alone not eat for a few months. Why would Jesus do a 40 day fast? Why would Buddha fast? Mohamed? And other famous people throughout history? To prove a point? Or to reap the benefits of our bodies ability to heal itself.
Atophagy is one reason. To eat self. It’s when the body destroys recycles and reuses cells and structures that are no longer needed or necessary. It’s like renovating your house, you need to do demo day first and then rebuild. Fasting is demo day.
Starting January 1, 2019 I’m going on a 100 day fast. Starting out drinking water only.
