Exactly, but I wanted to know other effects besides that, such as lack of hormone production, libido, hair production, probably fucks everything

When you are fasting you are suppressing your natural desire to eat, your ghrelin spikes and so do stress factors like cortisol.
You are basically inhibiting your body of getting any nutrients. it has been shown to decrease tetosterone, both directly and indirectly, it also decrease thyroid hormones which is has a significant effect on hair growth, etc.

Bro, I really noticed a lack of libido and hair loss, and when I saw this I already knew it was Intermittent fasting, because I was fasting for 22 hours, and I only had one big meal, but I think it's not enough
