Fasting Facts

In 1965, a grossly obese Scotsman survived without eating for 1 year and 17 days. He lived entirely off his copious body fat and lost 125kg with no adverse effects.

Fasting for 12-16 hours before you want to wake up can help reset your sleep schedule. Your body has a secondary 'food clock' that, when activated by hunger and then eating, can override your regular circadian rhythm—a survival mechanism that helped our ancestors adjust to food availability.
