long term fasting promotes autophagy.
in other words it helps to rebuild your bodies cells.
Your body is always breaking down and rebuilding itself; it doesn't need anything to promote/initiate that process. With a fast, you don't give it the materials to rebuild, so you lose precious muscle mass. It's great if you want to end up skinny fat.6 -
This actually sounds rather dangerous, and I think unsafe habits is against the forum rules.4

I find your "making strides towards health" badge funny since your recommending a VLCD by the sounds of it and if your not id edit it to be more clear OP's liek this tend to grasp onto what they want to hear vs all the other answers. Although this OP seems to have made their mind up long before posting. Sad.1 -

The best and effective fasting for autophagy is 18-24 hrs. This also is very save way and easy to sustain. You can do it may be 2 times a week and results will be astonishing. You are not going to have all those scary side effects of long-term fasting5
