Knowing is Half the Battle.

I know I just posted, however, found this on Wikipedia (yes I know that isn't a credible source so stuff it already!). In regard to fasting:

Therapeutic application

Prolonged fasting also has a long, albeit controversial, history as a form of medical treatment. Since the 1900s, hundreds of thousands of human fasts have been supervised and recorded. There are also recent studies on mice that show that fasting every other day while eating double the normal amount of food on non-fasting days can lead to improved insulin and blood sugar control, neuronal resistance to injury, and general health indicators. Punctuated fasting diets produced superior improvements compared with mice on 40% calorie restricted diets.^[44][45] Alternate-day calorie restriction may prolong lifespan^[46] and attenuate diseases associated with inflammation, oxidative stress and aging.^[47] Fasting has been shown to be an effective treatment for hypertension. ^[48]

Many fasting protocols are used by integrative medicine practitioners as part of alleged detoxification or cleansing diets.

Fasting can be dangerous when the body is not able to perform gluconeogenesis. If the body is not in ketosis, then the brain and vital organs (which can burn either glucose or ketones) need 800 calories a day to have ample glucose. If less than 800 calories a day are consumed, the brain and vital organs are deprived of necessary glucose, causing damage and in some cases, death. Ideally these diets should be supervised by health care practitioners with who are experienced with therapeutic fasts.^[49] Thus, fasting is only safe when the body enters and remains in ketosis during the fast.

Not too sure how I feel about 800 calories. I know it is logical and feasible, but it seems like a ton of calories. In addition to no sodium and low/no fat- I will consider ingesting 800 calories. After all, I have been restricting for days, and gained weight today!! Fuckers.
