@macro_habits Save this video for the future if you ever wanna try this!! I include my fasting schedule, info, & the why👇🏼
Before anyone panics this wasn’t about starving myself or trying to “hack” fat loss lol. I did it because I’m always curious about metabolic health and how my body responds to different things. I’m a curious gal ✨
Most of us are constantly eating. Snacks, meals, coffee with cream, a little bite here and there… your body almost never gets a real break from digestion.
A longer fast can help shift your body into fat-burning mode, improve insulin sensitivity, and increase something called autophagy, which is basically your body’s way of cleaning out old or damaged cells (I listened to a podcast on this and it got me interested in trying a fast)
Doing a 36 hour fast can be a really interesting way to improve metabolic flexibility and learn how your body handles hunger and energy without constant food. (It’s also a CHALLENGE)

The creator documents her 36-hour fasting journey through a narrated vlog montage, sharing her timeline, physical sensations, and strategies for success. She highlights key moments like drinking electrolytes, experiencing hunger waves, getting bloodwork done, and finally breaking the fast with a high-protein meal, while directing viewers to the caption for her exact schedule and the science behind her choice.
Just completed a thirty six hour fast, and it's probably not for the reasons that you think.

HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE A 36 HOUR FAST
Transcript
Just completed a thirty six hour best, and it's probably not for the reasons that you think. I highly recommend starting at 8PM the night before the first twelve hours you're sleeping, so it makes a little bit easier. By the next morning, I was definitely thinking about food, but coffee, water, and electrolytes helped a lot. I'll have the exact schedule down below of how I timed out all of this. Around hours twenty to twenty four was definitely the hardest part. But after that, my energy actually felt really steady and I wasn't nearly as hungry as I expected. I got my blood work done right before I broke my fast at 10AM the next morning, and I was very intentional with what I ate just to make sure I had a nice high protein balanced meal. I'll have all the details down below.
