Same reason anyone does any fad diet. They think they are doing something clever as a way to hack weight loss when all they are doing is running a calorie deficit. Oh, and the main reason is someone has written a book, sold a plan or some sort of pill/injection/supplement and then marketed it to people that want to lose weight quickly.
 
Total stupidity. I understand fasting from food and have worked with lads who would fast for days. Not drinking water though is idiotic.

He's drinking water. A water fast is where you just drink water. Thinking he's doing one where he's drinking water with some additives like protein (presumably the "something" that is making someone some money).

A water fast would actually be pretty easy. You get enough liquid in food, v especially things like fruit and vegetables that don't need to drink extra water. It's better if you do but not necessary.
 
Fasting is a very healthy and natural thing to do. I know gym roidheads just dont get it but I wouldnt expect them to, for obvious reasons.
A water fast means only drinking water - not fasting FROM water.

What happens to the body during fasting is fascinating for anybody who cares to actually look into the facts and science.
 
I do a 4 day water fast a few times a year. Feel great after it.

Make sure you replace electrolytes or you get a bad headache.
 
This is interesting, might even give it a try, won’t lie I could do with shedding a good stone
 
I made quite the pig of myself over chrimbo, as planned.

I have now dropped back on low carb keto food to start to get back to normal.

Next week I will get back to running and then start fasting during the day.
Keto and fasting go hand-in-hand, for me.
Then every few months I have a carb-weekend and have a bit of a gorge with beer, bread etc.
 
So far today I have eaten a maple and pecan pastry and 16 maltesers and had one cup of coffee and one cup of tea. For dinner I am going to have panackelty and cabbage. #bodyhacking superhuman.
 
Autophagy happens over a period of time and supposed to repair damaged cells that fights against chronic inflammation and disease apparently is one of the main reasons behind fasting.
