For me, the primary reason to try fasting was to lose weight, or to say it it another way, to lose excess body fat. I was sold on trying fasting after I read Dr. Jason Fung's book called, "The Complete Guide to Fasting".

Over the years, I had my successes and failures trying to maintain a proper body weight with different diets. For me, I found that fasting was the easiest and simplest way to lose and now maintain my weight.
