When the body is under stress, it produces chemicals that minimize damage.
I've also done a Daniel fast. No meat, no junk, no coffee, tea, milk products. Nothing but, whole grains, fruits and veggies. After a week I was crying Uncle...lol The no meat thing got to me.
I take resveratrol. Two-fer sales are common so it’s not too expensive.
I’ve been fasting for two days a week for the last six months.
I quickly dropped 15 pounds.
And then my weight stabilized.
I like the discipline and I like the way I feel.
I think my body was designed for feast and famine.
Certainly it has adjusted to this routine.
I used to feel weak at the end of two days. But not now.
The fasting sharpens me. Typically I’ll work out a bit harder on fast days to burn fat.
I think that I could do a third day but generally I don’t care to.
But I might. I would be better off 15 pounds lighter.

I had a lot of great results. Calmness, clarity of perception, weight control, normalized appetite the rest of the time.
Once I had a strong intoxication for a few hours after repeated three day fasts. I had the impression that I was burning calories from fatty tissues that were storing cannabinoids leftover from youthful mistakes.

It has been known for a very long time. Lent and Ramadan are both evidence of the knowledge.
