INSIGHT

Day One Nutrient Activation

Eating one avocado floods your body with oleic acid, fiber, potassium, and B vitamins from day one.
These nutrients reduce inflammation, support fat burning, improve gut health, balance electrolytes and lower blood pressure.

INSIGHT

Day Two Electrolyte Reset & Craving Control

Day two potassium buildup balances sodium, reduces water retention, and lessens bloating.
Leptin increases and ghrelin decreases, controlling cravings and making you feel fuller.

INSIGHT

Day Three Insulin Balance & Fat Adaptation

By day three, monounsaturated fats improve glucose uptake, reducing insulin spikes and helping fat burning.
This stabilizes energy by shifting metabolism from sugar burning to fat burning.
