From natures perspective: We would fast quite often. The weakest hunters would fast or "starve" quite often, however even the best hunters would fast as there is no chance there is a hunter Good enough to never go hungry. He's going to slip up and starve/fast
So from natures perspective if our ancestors would go through short periods without eating shouldn't we fast ourselves to replicate that?
Conclusion: We are not hunting our food so we just eat until we are satiated everyday. No one here really works for their food & we never goes hungry.
I'm not saying fast every week, maybe once every month.
Thoughts?

I agree. when you go long amounts of time with out eating your body goes in to a ketogenic state where your metabolism slows down and your primary fuel source switches to fats instead of carbs. This is great for thyroid health and cardiovascular health, and I even believe hgh is released to but I could be wrong. But this only occurs typically 12 ish hours in to fasting so I supouse a short fast wouldnt replicate these results but you haven’t quite specified.

@Etgo when you fast your body eats itself. robbing Paul to pay Peter. Also where are you going to get the nutrients to bind to the immense amount of toxins being released?

@Elliott87
What toxins are you referring to this is quite subjective -

@Elliott87 If you are on primal you should be at a higher bodyfat anyway. So your body has alot of fat reserves. it's not expensive at all. so you get the benefits of autophagy, thyroid functions.. better metabolic rate but at a marginal cost.

@Jay I currently do this since primal food is not available for me at all times, at any time i can’t eat primally i am fasting, which ended up working well.

@Elliott87 No, you burn fat. not protein. Go to sleep bro.

its obviously against your intuition and is just stressful, distrupts energy and hormones, no point tbh, and the hunters didnt do it volentarily
