Are most of these fast for health ,weight loss ,or spiritual ?

My fasting is a quick trip to the bathroom after three cups of coffee in the morning.

Spiritual for me but you can definitely feel the health benefits too

Health

I use to fast from Monday night until Wednesday morning.

I do intermittent fasting (IF) an eat pattern of eating and not eating and not what you eat for health. I only eat from high noon till about 530 each day. I started 10 years ago and lost about 20 pounds and have maintained that weight with in a few either depending on the season. More energy and health benefits have been huge for me. I eat anything and as much as I want in those 5 hours each. I haven't but ~ twice broke that eating pattern in 10 years.

This long of fasting is new to me. Supposed to help cell repair. Autophagy.

It's a re boot...lol

For me becuse i was not really hungry and wondered how long it would be before I was. Turned out to be easy for me probably due to my untraditiinal schedule. Later I read ther are said to be health benefits. That tracks with me considering up intell recent times humans didnt get to eat regularly, near as much, or the processed sugar and preservative filled junk.

i once had a horse and i just had him trained not to eat and he died
