I tried fasting last year after reading a book that promised health "miracles". At first I fasted every Monday for 3 months (no food at all just water), then I fasted for 14 days without interruption. This is much easier than I was thinking. After 3 days I was not hungry anymore BUT I wanted to eat. What I mean is that I had no pain in my stomach but my mind wanted the comfort of eating something. It grew more and more, at the end I was watching Youtube cooking videos every evening and planning all the great meals I would cook once I restarted to eat ;-) Physically I could have lasted at least 2 weeks more, but mentally I was tired of it. I'm a software dev I so of course I had it easy compared to someone who has an active lifestyle. Now for the bad part : no health miracle at all, and all the weight I lost has been regained and then some. And since then I was unable to gather enough willpower to fast again, even for just one day.

There's also simply no good solution for people with mental health issues.
Cravings can be an incredibly helpful indicator that you have an unmet need.
