#992 The 3 Biggest Fasting Mistakes That Destroy Metabolism, Trigger Stress Belly, and Block Fat Loss (And How to Fix Them for Good) with Ben Azadi

April 19, 2025

In today’s episode, I’m getting real about the fasting mistakes I’ve made over the past 17 years — and how they’ve silently sabotaged fat loss, triggered muscle loss, and even led to cortisol-driven belly fat.
You’ll learn:

Why fasting without fat adaptation leads to metabolic damage

How to become fat adapted in 7 days using the 2-2-2 Rule 🥑

What happens when you fast too much and skip the feast phase

Why inflammatory fats like canola oil and fish oil ruin your fasts 😬

How to strike the perfect balance between autophagy and mTOR

What really breaks a fast (and how to test your glucose response)

The truth about OMAD, long fasts, and why hunger is a good sign

💥 Plus, I answer your top questions:

How do you know if you’re fat adapted?

What supplements are safe during a fast?

What’s the best fasting schedule for fat loss?
