Why not just stay at home and read books all day?

Just about any activity involves dopamine, making this "fast" silly science fetishism.

It does’t help that the links provided to the only things that have scientific backing don’t support the claimed results. Fasting *increases* dopamine according to the first link. So that seems counter-productive.

If it's a procrastination mechanism, then once daily. If I'm fasting, none at all. Otherwise, I use it for business as required
