The value of intermittent fasting is probably grossly over exaggerated once you get down to a body fat percent of less than 15%

I lost a lot of weight with fasting, sometimes up to 48 hours. The problem is my metabolism slowed down so much that when I went back to eating normally I gained it all back plus more.
What about for liver enzyme replenishment?
Your liver is constantly performing detoxification as part of its normal physiological function—it doesn't need "detoxing" to boost its natural function.
Fasting may reduce liver fat accumulation, particularly in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

I wasn’t going with “detoxing”, more like a cooldown/reset period from digestion, aka overnight. At least that’s what I’ve heard.
So if your body fat was low, good composition, no NAFDL, etc, there wouldn’t be liver issues with an eating window of say, 20hrs a day?
yeah i shouldn't have used the detox term. but it doesn't regenerate any liver function while fasting
