Wonder about fasting? I was always sceptical but its working for me.
I am shrinking and I am likely tapping into some powerful metabolic shifts!
Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes when you fast from 7 PM to 11 AM—roughly a 16-hour window:
🔄 Fat-burning & Metabolic Shifts
• Insulin levels drop, allowing your body to access stored fat more easily for energy.
• Around 10–12 hours in, your liver glycogen is depleted and your body begins burning fat (lipolysis).
• This process can kick-start weight loss, especially if you’re staying hydrated and maintaining balanced meals during your eating window. You must drink a lot of water...just be hydrated. I can stilll have a drink as a light dessert.
⚙️ Cellular Cleanup & Hormone Balance
• Fasting triggers autophagy, a cellular “clean-up” process that removes damaged cells and supports regeneration.
• Growth hormone levels rise, helping preserve muscle mass while reducing fat.
• You may notice improved mental clarity and stable energy levels as blood sugar steadies.
🍽️ Eating Window Impact
• From 11 AM to 7 PM, your body knows it has fuel coming, which can help curb cravings.
• If your meals are nutrient-dense and not overly calorie-heavy, this window reinforces your body’s shift toward efficiency and recovery. Keep these meals nutrient high!
I finally found a routine that is working in sync with my goals—weight loss, energy, and some deeper benefits like gut health and inflammation reduction which I have on point with the best patented probiotic. My body’s adapting to a rhythm that honors both discipline and renewal.
What is your routine?
