Day 3 of my 5 day fast and I need to say something carefully!
Hey Reader, it's Frank
Well...I made it to day three of my five day fast right now, and I feel sharper than I do after most of the meals I eat. That’s actually the reason for this week’s video.
Every time I post about fasting, I get two reactions. Half of you think I’ve lost my mind. The other half want to start tomorrow. In this one I try to explain why you’re both wrong.
What the video covers:
Why fasting isn’t as simple as “just don’t eat,” and the actual science behind autophagy, your body’s cellular cleanup crew
The four things I actually do to fast safely, from electrolytes to how I break the fast
Why my five day protocol took two and a half years to build up to, and why jumping straight to it can wreck you
The difference between fasting from a nourished body and starving a depleted one
Where to start if you’ve never fasted before
Why fasting looks completely different for women, and what to read first if that’s you
A section I almost didn’t include, about my wife Amber’s history with disordered eating, and why this isn’t for everyone
That last part matters more to me than the rest of the video combined. If food has ever been a battlefield for you, I want you to hear that directly from me before you watch anything else.
