Two people I know who have been perfectly healthy, in the space of 48hrs, now say they are feeling tired, lethargic, no energy, no motivation, etc. Slowly the truth is coming out and they are discovering it for themselves.
Fasting has been proven to cure a lot of issues. Autophagy happens when you fast for long enough, it's your body's way of clearing out damaged cells. Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel prize for his discoveries in 2016. So ya fasting is powerful and helps with some serious illnesses.
Correct, it's really beneficial when done In a controlled way. Glad I dug more into it and gave it an honest try again. By far and away the easiest way I've shed pounds.
Just makes sense, body stored all the fat from excess eating, just stop eating lol.
Try intermittent fasting. It's very easy to start and after a couple weeks you won't even get hungry in the morning. Water/coffee/vitamins can keep you going with full energy for physical work, tradesman here, until around 2-3pm. Every dinner becomes AWESOME.
No - I've been doing OMAD (One Meal a Day) since November and I feel better than ever, better mental clarity, more energy - I also low carb with my OMAD.
If you jump right into a day long fast it'll prob be pretty rough but you'll live. Best to work into it slowly.
For much of human existence and for animals in the wild our bodies adapted with the knowledge that meals were never guaranteed. This is why we store excess energy as fat to begin with, because if your body gets extra energy it knows it might need it later to survive.
Only in our modern world do we have this problem where we have the ability to constantly and I mean constantly "graze". Snacks, fast foods, frozen dinners. Even poor people are fat.
Fasting is great cuz it reminds you don't NEED to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner to survive. A really overweight person could probably go for a month or more without ever eating a bite and be perfectly healthy/ healthier obviously at the end of the fast.
Fasting can be good.. but also doesn't help your metabolism.
If your problems are physical, you are either ailing or deficient in something (which can include sunlight) or your metabolism is slowed down and you can't get the burst of energy you need.
If your problems are mental, no amount of exercise or sunlight will do anything for you if the root cause isn't addressed.
Fasting isn't all that great for people who are already really lean (I mean like 10% bodyfat) or lower or when doing it for extended periods of time like a few days or longer. Why I said quick.
There's some truth to that, but physical training is a great road toward improving mental health as well. Training the body trains the mind. No amount of wallowing in lethargy or despair will help either.

Depends on the metabolic problem.
If a person has a very high metabolism, then they are very skinny and should not fast unless they have a serious health problem they need to address. But then, they probably don't want to, anyway.
But fat asses are a different story. Fat asses have a slow metabolism because of their eating lifestyle, in most cases. Fasting can do a great deal of good in those situations.
And fasting means ZERO food. Some people claim to "fast" while just cutting back on calories. That is the worst thing a fat ass can do, because their metabolism will drop to match the low amount of calories, and they will not cut bodyfat. They need to go to zero for at least a few days to get the body to reset.
I'm subscribed to the raised by narcissists subreddit, and some say that because you're in such a bad environment, after however long of a time period of maintaining hypervigilance, your body basically tries to reset itself by sleeping a hell of a lot. It could be the person's environment as well - bad people make a bad environment, which makes a bad state of mind. I had that state and still maintain it, as my dad was a bipolar narc. One hour he'd be fine, the next hour or day he'd talk to you like you're a piece of shit.
Been feeling like that also, off and on. I find taking an iron tablet every other day seems to help with the tiredness, along with shortness of breath, as it adds oxygen to the blood.

Could be anything really, I'm unjabbed and have been experiencing much of that myself. All of this shit in general takes a toll on you.
A quick fast will wipe any lethargy away and clear your head, then go get some exercise and sunlight.

What if you feel like shit the day after not eating though?

So true i have been doing some small fasts after watching this video which explained the good things that happen on longer fasts.

Can confirm that this doesn't work.
