Because that's what you're going to do.

Fasting is the oldest...

It's the oldest diet known to man, okay?

It was never intended.

And the reason why, okay, so things that have lasted a long time have passed the test of evolution in the sense of ideas, right?

So ideas that humans have had that have stuck around for thousands of years typically means there's some value there.

So like, why have cultures done this thing for thousands of years?

Why is it common among multiple cultures?

There's gotta be value there.

Fasting is present in every major world religion, both Eastern and Western, okay?

It was never to lose weight.

It was detachment.

It was always a way to detach from worldly things.

Most world religions will tell you that worshiping worldly things is a path to hell, right?

It's like in the Christian Bible, it's idolatry, right?

Or the Judeo-Christian religions don't have any other god before me.

It's literally, do not worship worldly things because they will lead you down a dark path.

Typically, it's money, power, pleasure, or fame, what they used to call honor.

But detachment is very powerful, right?

Do you get value from spiritual value from not eating for three days?
