I need to lose 10ish kg, as I've already bulked for about 4 years. In either case, I was thinking about fasting after seeing this video. What do you guys think?

I don't see the harm in it, people have been fasting since people became people either voluntarily for spiritual/religious purposes, or involuntarily due to no available food. Our bodies are pretty damn good at it - just like the video describes.
I've heard that if they go on for a long time you need to supplement electrolytes, but I've never personally fasted for more than a couple of days, or even looked into it so I'm not sure how true that is.

I'm thinking about doing a week, then just a regular week of eating at TDEE and then restarting the fasting.

Gist of it 1-2 24-hour fasts per week. Eating regularly on non fast days (don't overdo it with nothing but junk food, obviously). And lift.
I like it because I get to eat all my favorite foods, not calorie count, and enjoy seeing the fat go away while I'm maintaining/building muscle. You can expect to lose roughly 1-2 lbs per week. 2 times a week is pretty good for getting rid of fat quicker, whereas 1 time a week would be slower or used for maintaining weight (or slowly building mass).
I recommend it.
