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?
