Snacking Locks Liver Into Storage Mode
- Constant snacking keeps the liver in storage mode by keeping insulin elevated.
- A 24-hour water fast gives the liver a pause to shift from storage to repair and fat burning.
Use 12–16 Hours To Trigger Fat Mobilization
- Stop eating and wait: by ~12–16 hours liver glycogen drops and fat mobilization begins.
- Prepare by lowering carbs and eating only three meals per day for three days prior if you're a beginner.
Eighteen Hours Unlocks Liver Autophagy
- Around 18 hours fasting you ramp up liver autophagy and burn liver fat as primary fuel.
- This process reduces liver inflammation and can lower ALT, GGT, and AST markers.
