Why Consider Fasting?

• Boosts Metabolism: Contrary to popular belief, fasting can actually increase metabolic rate.
• Promotes Muscle Preservation: Growth hormone increases during fasting, protecting muscle tissue.
• Triggers Autophagy: Fasting promotes cellular repair and detoxification.
• Simplifies Life: Fewer meals mean less focus on food and more focus on health.

Key Tips for Fat Loss Success:

• Start Slow: Ease into fasting by beginning with intermittent fasting before attempting longer fasts.
• Stay Active: Light strength training helps preserve muscle during fasting.
• Monitor Hormones: If you're over 30, consider checking your testosterone levels.
• Honor the Refeed: Breaking fasts gently with nutrient-dense meals is crucial to sustaining progress.
• Electrolytes Matter: Sodium, potassium, and magnesium are key during longer fasts to avoid cramps and fatigue.

This isn’t just about losing weight—it’s about breaking free from food addi
