If we were only able to access the fat loss benefits of complete water fasting, this would already be enough.

But weight loss in just one of many benefits.

The second one - the focus of this vid - is the body rejuvenation propensity of fasting: there is no organ or bodily system that will not benefit from a long fast; and their is a great and growing body of evidence which suggests the incipient cancers and tumors can be staved off, burnt in the metabolic fires of the fasting body.

Some references, one text and 2 videos; the text is a hundred years old but extremely readable: very motivating.
The videos will give you a great introduction to the modern science of the physiology of the fasting state.
They will explain the terms I've been using, such as:
1. Ketosis
2. ketone bodies
3. the fridge and the freezer phenomenon
... and much more.
