The suggestion about fasting was solely based on data that show that it can help to reset inflammatory cells to a more stable state. Purely short term, either a couple weeks going like less than 1000 cals/day or like 3 days without food then back to normal. Personally, I've tried a 3 day fast one time, and I failed after 30 hours. It gave me a pounding headache, and I couldn't focus on anything other than food. It was horrible, but I wasn't sick, so I wasn't highly motivated.
