What is Intermittent Fasting?
IF is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It focuses on WHEN you eat, not what you eat, promoting fat burning, autophagy, and metabolic health.

How Intermittent Fasting Works
Metabolic Switch (8-12 hours):
Your body depletes glycogen stores and begins burning fat for energy. Ketone production increases.
Autophagy (16+ hours):
Cellular "cleanup" process begins. Your body breaks down and recycles old cell components, promoting longevity.
Growth Hormone (18+ hours):
Human growth hormone levels increase significantly, aiding fat loss and muscle preservation.
Note: Start with easier protocols (12:12 or 14:10) and gradually work your way up as your body adapts.
