For others fasting will be intolerable. For women, it can be a dependent of the moment thing, this can cause some hormonal shifts and potential problems. But it is about how long the fast goes, is it during a menstrual cycle, etc. 

Fasting for longer periods create a higher value of cellular autophagy. This strategy can also improve the way in which we understand hunger and give us some self-control.
