I don't do it voluntarily, though I do take long camping trips in the Germanic hills. Food can get sparse sometimes, it definitely takes a toll on me, though I'm a rather large guy.

[WELOVELOOKS]

It’s good

Logically because we evolved not eating food all the time it wasn’t available 24/7

Ur insulin levels drop when u fast is mainly why

 

[Deleted member 122979]

sometimes i try to see how long i can fast as a challenge to myself though there’s no benefit

Feels good, and provides for a nice window to when to consume your calories

1. Metabolic Health​

• Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Fasting can make your cells more responsive to insulin, helping to regulate blood sugar levels and potentially reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes.
• Fat Burning: During fasting, the body uses stored fat for energy, which may help with weight loss and fat loss.

---

2. Cellular Repair & Longevity​

• Autophagy: Fasting triggers autophagy, a cellular "cleanup" process where damaged cells and proteins are broken down and recycled, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases and contributing to longevity.
• Reduced Inflammation: Fasting can lower markers of inflammation, which are associated with many chronic diseases, such as arthritis, heart disease, and Alzheimer's.

---

3. Brain Health​

• Improved Brain Function: Fasting can increase the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports brain health, learning, and memory.
• Neuroprotection: Studies suggest fasting may protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

---

4. Heart Health​

• Improved Cholesterol Levels: Fasting can lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides while improving HDL ("good") cholesterol.
• Blood Pressure Regulation: Some studies indicate fasting may help lower blood pressure.

---

5. Weight Management​

• Calorie Control: Fasting naturally reduces calorie intake over time.
• Hormonal Regulation: Fasting can boost norepinephrine and human growth hormone (HGH), aiding in fat loss and muscle preservation.

---

6. Gut Health​

• Digestive Reset: Periods of fasting give the digestive system a break, which may promote gut healing and microbiome balance.
• Reduced Risk of GI Issues: Fasting may help reduce symptoms of IBS or leaky gut in some people.

---

7. Cancer Prevention​

• Potential Anti-Cancer Properties: Fasting may slow tumor growth and increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy (though this is still under study and should be done under medical supervision).

---

8. Mental & Emotional Benefits​

• Increased Focus & Energy: Many people report improved mental clarity during fasting periods due to stable blood sugar and ketone production.
• Improved Self-Discipline: Fasting can cultivate self-control and mindfulness around eating habits.

---

9. Hormonal Balance​

• HGH Boost: Fasting significantly increases human growth hormone, which is vital for muscle growth, metabolism, and repair.
• Balanced Ghrelin and Leptin: Fasting can help regulate hunger hormones, reducing cravings and promoting satiety.

Honestly it’s easier than just lowering caps, it’s just a tool like any other diet.

 

[Deleted member 59278]

More money for drugs. Only reason tbh.

Do you wonder if foids smell checks their vagina every day? Well, many don't... esp the ones who lurk in this forum, nasty motherfuckers.

Should fast for 5 days as a 16 year old? RN on a calorie surplus but I have heard (and read some studies) that fasting boost test, IDF-1,LH and GnRH.
