what are those health benefits? i've always heard not to starve yourself because the next time you eat your body will store extra calories knowing it will be starved. instead, eat multiple small meals throughout the day. and if i'm correct you can't drink either right? how is not drinking water a health benefit?
to go into starvation mode you have to stop eating for much longer than the fasting period. I know you dont respect personal experience but I know I'm much better hydrated than all my teammates while I'm fasting then they are. I've, never had to sit out during training camp due to dehydration while we usually have at least 3 that do. So I know thats a benefit to me. Small meals thing is complete bro science. Your body doesn't work like that. As long as you get your essential nutrients anywhere through out the day your fine. Look up intermittent fasting, many body builders have switched over to that
