Studies more and more are showing that fasting is healthy for us but so many jump straight to eating disorder when they hear about someone not eating for extended periods. By your own research he seems to even be managing his body fat with logic; with the increase to 6%. More studies should be conducted but there's little profit incentive or people with the willpower for not eating so funding lags. Maybe we should embrace this kind of dedication rather than mock it?
Why even write this, by your own admission, cherry picking the negative and making assumptions about dishonesty?
If you're talking about intermittent fasting, some of the more recent studies are showing that we aren't able to trigger autophagy as we'd hoped, and that the results of most IF users is a reduction in total caloric intake. It's tough to consume the same amount of calories in 2 meals as you'd normally do in 3.
My impression is that (intermittent) fasting is just a convenient way for many people to decrease their overall calorie consumption. I personally prefer eating low-carb for the same purpose.
