Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!
Day 6. No food. Just water, black coffee, and electrolytes.
If you’ve been following the journey, you’ve seen the numbers. I am down just over 20 pounds, somewhere between 22 and 23 pounds to be exact, since Day 1. But Day 6 is a different animal. This is where the initial motivation fades, the "easy" water weight is gone, and the real mental and biological battle begins.
In this video, I’m breaking down exactly how I feel, the specific headache that hits around this time, and why the scale might lie to you tomorrow. We are also going to talk about the single most dangerous part of fasting: The Refeed. If you break a long fast with pizza and donuts, you aren't just ruining your progress, you are risking your health.
In this video, I cover:
1. The Weight Loss Reality Check (Homeostasis) From Day 1 to Day 2, you get that massive "whoosh." It feels amazing. But by Day 6, things slow down. I wouldn't be shocked if I wake up on Day 7 or 8 and see zero weight loss, or even a slight gain. Why? Because the body fights for homeostasis. It wants to hold onto water to stay safe. If you don't understand this biology, you will quit when the scale stalls. I explain why you have to trust the process, if you aren't eating, you ARE burning fat.
2. The Insulin Trap & "Zero Calorie" Lies You have to keep it pure. Water. Black coffee. Pure salts. That’s it. I talk about why "zero calorie" energy drinks with artificial sweeteners can wreck your fast. Even if there’s no sugar, the sweetness on your tongue can trigger a Cephalic Phase Insulin Response. Your body spikes insulin (the fat-storage hormone), and suddenly you’re in a state where you can’t access your fat stores. It’s misery. Keep it clean.
3. The Mental Game: The Pink Elephant Don’t try to ignore the food cravings. If I tell you "Don't think about a pink elephant," what do you think about? The elephant. The same goes for food. When I think about those deep-fried burritos from East LA or the donuts I used to eat on patrol, I don't push the thought away. I "play the tape forward." I visualize eating it, but I also visualize how terrible I’ll feel 20 minutes later. That is how you win the mental war.
4. The Danger Zone: Breaking the Fast The longer you go, the more dangerous the refeed becomes. Refeeding Syndrome is real. You cannot dump heavy carbs into a digestive system that has been asleep for a week. I share my strict protocol for breaking the fast: Bone broth, one hard-boiled egg, half an avocado. That’s it. And yes, the scale will jump up 3lbs overnight when you eat. It’s water, not fat. Don’t panic.
5. Visceral Fat & Healing This isn't just about losing the double chin or the "ham hocks" on my arms. This is about attacking the visceral fat, the stuff choking out your organs.

Day 5 Water Fast Update: 324 → 304 lbs 📉
Real talk: This 20-pound drop isn't all fat. Maybe 4-5 pounds of actual fat loss. The rest? Water weight, glycogen stores, inflammation reduction.
But here's what matters more than the scale:
Woke up with a light headache today - totally normal as the body adapts. Not taking anything for it. Just staying hydrated and letting my body do its thing.
The real lesson? Fat is stored food. When you fast, you're literally eating your reserves. Your body converts that fat to ketones for fuel. It works. It's designed to work.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: If you're on medications (especially blood pressure, insulin, or anything requiring food), talk to your doctor first. Fasting is powerful medicine.

Connor MacIvor talks about why Google may be pulling ahead in the AI race. He explains that Google owns the whole stack, from its own chips and data centers up to the apps. Its newest model was trained entirely on those chips, which are available for lease, and Anthropic has started using them too. He says OpenAI has not done a full retraining run like that.Youtube Channels:

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!
Everyone says they’re “starting in January.”
That’s the SAME version of you that broke every promise the last 5 years talking again. 🧨
If you know you’re sick of your own excuses… why would you give yourself another 30 days of damage and delay?
December is not the problem.
December is the 🔬test lab.
If you can hold the line around food when:
…then you don’t need “New Year, New Me.” You’ve already met the new you.
This isn’t a motivation poster.
It’s a line in the sand:
👉 No more “I’ll start Monday.”
👉 No more “after this party.”
👉 No more “January Me will handle it.”
You either start now or you admit you’re choosing not to. That honesty alone will change your life.
I wrote this for the people who are DONE negotiating with their cravings and their comfort. If that’s you, read it, sit with it, and then prove to yourself you can keep one simple promise today:
🔗 https://fastingbot.com/post/why-wait-until-january-2026-to-start-you-dont-deserve-to-wait-start-now-heres-how
You don’t deserve to wait.
You deserve to show yourself what happens when you finally mean it.

We used to worry about AI coming from the stars like some alien force 👽. But the reality is, we are building the alien right here on Earth 🌍.
Two days ago, the markets froze due to a "glitch." It was a warning. When an AI sees a dip, it calculates "SELL" in nanoseconds 📉. It doesn't understand "market correction" or "investor sentiment." It understands 1s and 0s.
I was just discussing this with my private clients. If we hand over the keys 🔑 without strict parameters, we are asking for trouble. We need circuit breakers for the code itself! 🛑
The "November Panic" was just the training wheels coming off.

Are you ready for the AI Data War?
In this episode, Connor with Honor breaks down the massive shift occurring in the artificial intelligence landscape, from the recursive self-improvement of models like Gemini and Grok to the "Data War" being fought between tech giants like Google and Apple.
The way customers find your business is changing forever. We are moving away from traditional "10 blue links" search results to AI-generated answers. If your business data isn't optimized, fresh, and structured correctly, the AI will simply ignore you.
Connor provides a masterclass on Google My Business (GMB) optimization, specifically for real estate agents and local business owners in Santa Clarita and beyond. You will learn why the "set it and forget it" mentality is a death sentence for your local ranking and how to use AI tools (like Gemini Pro) to do the heavy lifting for you.
In this episode, you will learn:
Featured Prompts in this Episode: Connor shares the exact prompts you can paste into Gemini or ChatGPT to audit your business category, rewrite your business description (up to 1,500 characters), and generate the top 3 questions your specific clients are asking right now.
Timestamps: 00:00 - The rapid upgrade cycle of Gemini and Grok. 01:50 - The "Data War" and Google My Business. 04:30 - The shift from Search Engines to Answer Engines. 09:13 - analyzing your Profile Strength (The Green Donut). 13:01 - The Marketing Funnel & NAP consistency. 21:30 - Selecting the right Business Categories with AI. 26:48 - Visuals & Copyright: Warning about ShutterStock watermarks. 33:06 - Live Demo: Writing the perfect GMB Description. 40:37 - Live Demo: Generating Proactive Q&A for your profile. 43:10 - How YouTube descriptions influence local search.

From Thomas Guides to AI: The Shift to Answer Engine Optimization
Episode Summary:
Just as GPS replaced the Thomas Guide, Artificial Intelligence is replacing traditional Search Engine Optimization. In this episode, Connor with Honor explains why businesses must pivot to "Answer Engine Optimization" (AEO) to stay visible in the age of AI.
Full Show Notes:
If you were around before 2007, you likely remember the Thomas Guide, that thick, county-organized book of maps sold at office supply stores and Costco (or Price Club)1. Just as technology evolved from those paper maps to GPS, the digital landscape is currently undergoing a massive shift from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to Artificial Intelligence Optimization2.
In this episode, Connor with Honor (the AI Growth Architect) breaks down why the old methods of "blue link" searching are fading and how Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming the new gatekeepers of information3.
Key Topics Covered:

TLDR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
The search world has fundamentally shifted from traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization), where you got a list of links, to AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), where AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude give a single, direct answer. For real estate agents and local business owners, your online content, from social media to blog posts, must be restructured to be easily scraped and ranked by these Large Language Models (LLMs). The secret? Consistent, daily content updates on your Google My Business and Bing Local Pages coupled with AI-powered engagement tools like voice agents and chat widgets. Stop chasing clicks, start structuring for answers.
Summary & Key Takeaways
In this crucial episode of the Santa Clarita Artificial Intelligence blog, host Connor with Honor (Connor MacIvor, First Responder Realtor) explains the massive disruption in online search, the transition from a SERP (Search Engine Results Page)-driven world to an AI-driven Answer Engine world. This is essential listening for any real estate professional, law firm, insurance agent, or local service provider who wants to dominate their local market.
