It's just one of Dr. Fung's tips..don't tell other people you are fasting, they will not understand. Other people will think "You're CRAZZZZZY" Fasting will slow your metabolism, you'll get sick, deplete nutrients, blah, blah. (Minute 50 in the Fast lecture, part 4)

It's like not telling someone you are on Atkins, but instead say I don't eat processed foods or sugar. I just wanted to get a month or two under my belt, be sure I could actually survive (had my doubts to start!) and maybe even get some better blood work in. He eats no grains, Paleo, and skips meals himself, but if I say "fast", he might be concerned about my health.
