📝 Fact Check: This is a common internet myth! 📉 When you restrict calories or fast, your body enters an energy-preservation mode. Clinical trials show that time-restricted eating (like fasting for 16 hours) actually tends to lower testosterone levels and increase stress hormones like cortisol. There is no biological consensus that a 13-15 hour fast yields a 13% increase in healthy men.
