Hey there, over the last couple of weeks I've read a lot about fasting and it's supposed healing properties.
Has anyone on Veeky Forums any deeper insights and personal experience in fasting?

Back to Veeky Forums with you, interloper.

It's not about Veeky Forums though. At least that was not my intention. The stuff I've been readin was more about how fasting is a part of food/eating, since the human body was made for sometimes having food and sometimes not.

What you are asking about is the opposite of what this board is. Go away.

I tried to fast and turned out I have hypoglycaemia and I shouldn't fast because I can die

>not eating is part of food/eating
Do you not understand how fundamentally incorrect that is?

humans used to fast all the time. eating 3 meals a day is ridiculous, it leaves no time for you body to do some maintenance on your digestive tract.
it also helps cleaning up your deteriorating cells (autophagy)
eating will give you an insuline responds which will prevent the body from using fat from your body.
after not eating at your usual times you will no longer feel hungry anymore at those times. you get hungry because your body produces ghrelin at the times which it expects you to eat. the production of ghrelin lowers on those times if you do not eat at those times for a week all the way to not feeling hungry at those times at all.
fasting also preserves more muscle then regular 6 days a meal diets because your body will start to use the protein yin your excess skin.
the only thing you truly need when you fast 1-2 weeks is salt. and at 2 weeks probably potassium.
if you want to go 60 days without food you need to start ingesting vitamines.

That falls under Veeky Forums you fucking retard. Veeky Forums is for food and cooking. Not how to eat and how to be healthy.

So much BS and misinformation in one post.
>humans used to fast all the time.
This I especially hate, since it's complete and utter bullshit. It's based on nothing factual, but instead just some naive theory/opinion started by those promoting fasting.
Not to say that fasting is bad. It can be used to lose weight, but it's just calorie restriction. And fasting for longer than 3 days is definitely unwise. There's a reason people with anorexia die, or are in poor health.
