[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1917563, member: 219467"] Fasting has many benefits. Firstly you get no insulin signals when fasting so levels can lower and pancreas gets a bit of a rest from constant production. This then causes liver to empty of glucose stores and eventually blood sugar to lower. You get into ketosis so start burning stored fat for energy which along with no food intake is what basically starts weight loss It may also trigger autophagy where the body starts to repair itself by recycling old cells and dumping out what it no longer needs.. This is probably what people refer to as a detox except that this really is one! It also allows for people with food addiction/compulsion problems a glimpse at what more ordered eating really looks like rather than the habitual feeding that we engage in most of the time. It also allows you to feel "real" hunger rather than the "oh I haven't eaten anything for 30 minutes lets have something". So multiple benefits I'm currently on a drink and egg fast. For 95 hours just had coffee with cream and tea with lactofree milk and have just introduced 4 poached eggs with 20g of butter for the past 2 nights. I have a thread on it here [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/fasting-7-days-probably.158129/[/URL] if you'd like to follow.. [/QUOTE]
