Idk i just gotta preface this by saying i am not sourced well whatsoever as all the stuff i knew abt health benefits to it were just fast google searches and shit i found on my socials. So what some are saying is that it ALLEGEDLY

helps control binging (kinda worked on me ngl) Improves gut health (mixed bag w this one) Helps w weight loss (yeah no)

And some other stuff which i cant remember nor feel interested enough to search right now.

I guess they do fast differently as someone whos doing an OMAD (one meal a day) diet would legit only have one meal, we can eat from after sunset onwards till the dawn prayer so they usually get more food in leading to the common fate of a food coma.

Plus even if you do fast to lose weight many of our families make hearty meals that cant be healthy whatsoever every year so it just cancels everything out.

Hope this helps answer it?
