You’re not restricting calories, you’re changing when you eat. Every time you eat, it spikes insulin in your body, if you’re constantly eating, you’re constantly spiking insulin, and trying to rely on the food to fuel you.
When you fast, you use up your available energy, and then begin to access fat stores for additional energy. This also triggers the release of ketones, which are supposed to improve memory and mental clarity.
