Episode notes
Two Energy Systems
- We have two energy systems: one for eating and one for fasting.
- Fasting activates the fat-burning system, providing mental clarity and energy after 8-10 hours.
Gradual Fasting
- Start fasting gradually, aiming for 12 hours initially.
- Increase fasting duration progressively as your body adapts.
Daytime Eating
- Eat when it's light out to optimize digestion and prevent fat storage.
- Melatonin, produced in darkness, increases insulin resistance, making nighttime eating less ideal.
