Humans are born in ketosis. Ketosis is the process of the brain burning animal fats for energy. Modern humans typically burn carbohydrates for energy. Long term carbohydrate energy results in metabolic disfunction. 

Autophagy starts after the last of the carbohydrates is metabolized from the liver and other organs. A cascade of hormones release on a timeline that signal the body to start self-eating. Damaged organelles, misfolded proteins, invaded pathogens are metablized and cleaned from the system. Autophagy stimulates hormonal benefits such as HGH at 200% increase at about hour 48 to 72 of the process. 

Men have a 24h circadian and women have a 28 day circadian rhythm. Think of your circadian rhythm as the hormonal response from the environment. Sunlight, temperature, food, stress, holidays and seasons all effect the hormonal responses.
