I am a 44 year old male. I want to know if fasting can reverse atherosclerosis?

No, it doesn't. However, an extremely low LDL ("bad cholesterol") can reduce atherosclerosis in 20% of the people who pursue this.The remaining 80% would have reduced progression (of course, assuming all other factors and variable are stable).
