Why Prolonged Fasting? Why not
Standard Intermittent Fasting!- Most Intermittent Fasting or IF Protocols involve fasting for 16-24 hours.
- Although effective, the first 48 hours of fasting primarily depletes stored glycogen (available carbohydrates), and doesn’t reach deeper levels of abdominal or visceral fat.
- Prolonged fasts (PF’s) lasting more than 72 hours are the most effective for this kind of fat loss.
- Even just One Prolonged Fast (PF) can create many physical & mental shifts that months of Intermittent Fasting cannot achieve.
- PF also activates many healing mechanisms that have innumerable benefits such as autophagy, changes in brain chemistry, shift in will power and long term clarity.
