I fast for 12+ hours a day.
Here are 6 benefits that aren’t just for fat loss:
Here are 6 benefits that aren’t just for fat loss:
1) Improves skin
Certain foods can trigger skin issues, including
• Dryness
• Redness
• Itchiness
These problems arise from an inflammatory reaction.
Fasting reduces this inflammation so your skin looks softer, younger, and healthier.

2) Increases energy
“Starvation mode” is a myth.
Our ancestors often went days between meals.
If we went into “starvation mode” after not eating, we wouldn’t have made it this far.
What actually happens is you have more energy, enabling you to hunt... or do work.

3) Boosts mental performance
Fasting avoids the brain fog that happens after eating.
It also stimulates BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor).
BDNF supercharges your cognitive power.
It’d be worth millions if sold in stores.
Fasting gives you a free dose.

4) Saves time
Making food can take a lot of time.
Fasting saves you the time you’d normally spend cooking.
I’m definitely not saying you shouldn’t eat just so you can be more productive.
But that extra time you save can add up and help you do more of what you want to.

5) Strengthens immune system
When you fast, your body prepares for a hunt.
This survival mechanism is why “starvation mode” doesn’t exist.
Part of this preparation is strengthening your immune system.
You’ll be better able to resist and overcome colds, viruses, and diseases.

6) Stimulates autophagy
Autophagy is Latin for “self-eating”.
Your body consumes old cells for energy when you fast.
This can:
• Ease pain
• Reduce loose skin
• Lower inflammation
Research suggests it can even help prevent cancer.

Note:
When fasting over 12 hours, supplement electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, and potassium).
Electrolyte imbalance causes:
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Headaches
Supplement them since you’re not getting them from food.
