Most higher* animals use fat for energy storage and "lose weight" by fasting. This is a universal fact.

All human cultures with abundant food had fasting as a part of their rituals... except for the modern American one... which then spread everywhere through food industry funded "science".

It's not that fasting is healthy... it's the other way around... eating too much all the time is unhealthy. Fasting is the default.
