During an extended fast, you body will begin to produce 'Norepinephrine. This hormone will kick your body out of a lethargic state, that usually begins to accompany a fast.
The reasoning behind your body doing this is to wake the body up into survival mode and forces the body to be alert and responsive, therefore making the body better able to go out in search of food.
Wow! I never knew fasting was so interesting!
