If you don't eat, where is this energy that's going to revolutionize your life going to come from? Karma calories? You really think your body has got lots of energy but that it's just holding out on you?

it's well known that when (healthy) people go into starvation mode they get horny and have sex like crazy. go figure.

I'd venture that that's a psychological response, not a physiological one. Same phenomenon as when people get horny at funerals. Being reminded of your mortality increases your urge to procreate.

There could be something built in biologically at a very low level. Many plants have a mechanism where when they are severely stressed they put all their energy into reproduction (eg. flowers and pollen) and abandon maintaining their bodies. Any time a tree that normally blooms sporadically suddenly explodes into a massive bloom, it means it's about to die.

Yeah, either way, it doesn't mean that you have more energy. It just means your energy priorities shifted.
