                                While fasting for short periods offers health benefits like improved insulin sensitivity, prolonged or excessive fasting can lead to severe health risks, including malnutrition, severe fatigue, and loss of muscle mass. Knowing the difference is critical for practicing any form of calorie restriction safely.
