1. Fasting is a starvation experiment and doesn't exactly signal abundance to your body
2. For most people too much lipolysis **is** one of their main problems, stimulating more of that might not be the best plan.
3. Fasting only seems to have short term benefits for a specific subset of people, mostly male. Long term it lowers your metabolic rate and increases stress.
Minnesota Starvation Experiment, Ray Peat's blog and Weston A. Price's book changed my mind on all this. Tried all sorts of fasting before, all worsened my state. Nothing helped me like slowly increasing my calorie intake, with good food.
