FASTING
8) Body’s reset button
What happens after just 12hrs:
• Autophagy → cells detox & recycle junk
• Growth hormone soars → preserves muscle
• Insulin sensitivity spikes → body burns fat for fuel
This is how our ancestors evolved to thrive when there wasn't food.

7) Brain upgrade
It can even rewire the brain.
Brain fertilizer BDNF is triggered (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor):
• Stabilizes mood
• Sharpens focus and memory
• Protects against cognitive decline
It's like adderall, but free.
But what about muscle loss? x.com

6) "But I'll lose muscle"
Not TRUE
Fasting preserves muscle better than calorie restriction.
Here's why:
• HGH increases up to 5x, protecting muscle.
• The body prioritizes fat stores for energy.
Pair fasting with high protein and strength training for real gains. x.com

I've trained for 17 years. I thought I hit my limit - until fasting changed everything
Before fasting: 11% body fat, 147 lbs.
After: 9% body fat, 155lbs (3 months)
Most people think you need to eat every 3 hours to build muscle. Fasting proved them wrong, x.com

5) Anti aging
Fasting activates "longevity genes" (sirtuins), which:
• Repair DNA damage
• Slow aging processes
• Reduce chronic disease risk
Animal studies show 30% longer life span. Humans next?
Even high performers like twitter founder Jack Dorsey swear by it x.com

4) How to Fast Like a Pro (without suffering)
• 16:8 → Eat ~12 PM–8 PM (ideal for beginners)
• 5:2 → Eat normally 5 days, ~500 cals on 2 days
• OMAD → One giant, satisfying meal daily
Start slow. Your body adapts FAST. Hydrate & listen to your body’s cues. x.com

3) Longer-Term Fasting (24+ hrs)
Extended fasts (24–72 hrs) supercharge benefits but proceed with caution:
Benefits:
• Ketosis → sharper mental clarity
• Deeper autophagy → advanced cellular repair
• Immune reset (72 hr fasts may spark stem cell regeneration)

2) Common Mistakes to Avoid
• Binge Eating After Fasting: Stick to high protein, nutrient-dense foods
• Neglecting Sleep: Poor sleep + fasting = more stress, less fat loss
• Forgetting Electrolytes: Stay hydrated to prevent headaches
A solid routine = sustainable results. x.com

The Bottom Line:
Fasting isn’t a diet.
It’s a metabolic upgrade humans evolved to use.
Fasting is a tool rooted in human biology, not a fad. Whether for weight loss, mental clarity, or longevity, it offers benefits backed by both ancient practices and modern science.
There's a reason why guys like Andrew Huberman, David Sinclair, and Rhonda Patrick encourage fasting.
But make your own decisions.
