If You can actually get away with fasting in this day, that means You're a worthless fuck with no job to go to.
Or, it means you've reached the point where you're keto-adapted, and your body burns fat for energy instead of carbs. You know, like it's designed to do.
Yeah, no. I'm not stupid enough to skip eating for a few days and stick My hands anywhere near the metal-cutting equipment I work with.
Good for you.
One test involved athletes doing an every-other-day fast, with caloric restriction to 600 calories on fast days. They had the athletes perform tests to exhaustion in order to measure oxygen consumption, as well as other markers like heart rate.
Fasting left the athletes less fatigued, lowered blood lactate levels (better recovery), had an increased tolerance for workloads (increased stress tolerance). They also lost a lot more fat than muscle.
"Our ancestors" weren't "fasting", they were starving peasants who's daily responsibilities involved dragging a fucking rake across Their master's fields.
Depends on the ancestors. Many were nomadic, and the ones that weren't still had to deal with winters, fires, and other threats to the food supply. The body gets more efficient during fasting, not less. We have fat reserves for a reason - people still had work to do in the winter, including trying to find food to hunt. If our bodies shut down when we didn't have food, we'd die. Instead, it makes us feel uncomfortable so we do something about it, then switches from storing fat to burning it, because that's what the fuck it was designed to do.
Fasting is a meme for NEETs on /fit/ to jerk off to.
I'll do a 50 mile bike ride fasted. If you lack the willpower to go without food, that's fine, but don't pretend that our bodies are designed to have to eat every 5 hours or be dysfunctional.
