I fasted for the first time after seeing some research on the benefits. Once I realized it's safe I figured, why not try and see how it affects me. I noticed a definite improvement in stress over the week following and now I try to fast once every 3 weeks if it fits into my schedule.

We've become a little too obsessed with the one fits all approach to health.(e.x. Soylent) There is benefit to finding general guidelines through research, but a little self experimentation goes a long way.
