Starving may fend off jet lag

When I was younger I would go to a new country and wouldn't even notice the change in time zones. Now that I've gotten older it takes a solid 4-5 days.

However, fasting for 16 hours? I'd rather deal with some jet lag than be hungry and uncomfortable in the cabin of a plane during a long haul flight.

Interesting to know if the tactic is successful with humans.
