KEY TAKEAWAYS
Intermittent fasting involves extending the period of time when you're not eating, and it can be a lifestyle approach to improve health and lose weight.
Fasting has various health benefits, including lowering inflammation, promoting autophagy (the body's recycling and upcycling system), and improving metabolic flexibility.
Clean fasting refers to avoiding anything that can raise insulin levels during the fasting period, such as sweeteners, creamers, and protein sources.
During the fasting period, you can have plain water and black coffee, as the bitter flavour profile of coffee does not trigger an insulin response.
Intermittent fasting can lead to changes in taste preferences and a shift towards healthier food choices over time.
BEST MOMENTS
"Fasting is anti-inflammatory. It lowers that state to the level that is healthy instead of that unhealthy high level."
"Your body is not going to flip the metabolic switch to burning your own fat if it has other fuel sources coming in."
"You're going to feel so much better without it. And you just hold your nose and drink it black until suddenly you no longer have to hold your nose."
"Real food is always going to be better for your body. The higher quality our food, the better."
