Not much sense to be all weak and without muscles trying to find food lel. That's why people feel better than ever after 3-4days of fasting.
That's why the average person is skinnyfat, much food, not much fasting, even less movement^^. Dr Berry made a nice point that fasting + keto = autophagy, would probably fix wrinkles at a pace of 1% every 3 months. I find that actually pretty aspiring and that's where I wanna get to with a healthy omnivore diet + 2-3 prolonged fasts a year
