f you understood what the body was doing during sleep especially when your stomach is empty, then it would be no surprise to you how healing and repair takes places when a body is not encumbered with digesting food and can use the blood supply for other necessary operations that are usually hindered or neglected while you are stuffing your face all the time.

If you understood the body at all, you wouldn't be saying such nonsense.

Advantage of fasting? It’s a cleansing which leads to evacuation of unwanted and useless items a body has been forced to store up i.e. amongst the fat cells. Basically, you are full of crap because you overeat. (Very noticeable when experiencing a common cold)

Also nonsense. There is no physiological mechanism to do what you're claiming in response to not eating. And the only part of you that is full of crap is your large intestine.

If you are encumbered to begin such as through overeating then you can’t expect a body to function normally in a dramatic change of diet. In other words, adding clean oil to dirty oil gains very little, you either have to filter the old oil or replace it before adding new oil. Same with the contents of a blood stream.

This is picture thinking and arguing by analogy that has no relationship to nutritional physiology.

Try not to always let your taste buds dictate your wants and needs when they are sending messages to the brain, could be a false positive.

The taste buds, so to speak, do not dictate wants or needs. The problem most people have in getting fat is simply eating too fast and overriding the body's feedback system that tells you when you've had enough.

And, yes, I am an expert: Ph.D. in Human Nutrition/Nutritional Biology, along with a four year post-doctoral fellowship in Neurobiology/Pharmacology/Physiology.
