The Hour-by-Hour Timeline: What Happens to Your Body During Intermittent Fasting

from Foodnourish Deep Dives · host Pavlos Giorkas

In today's episode we're diving deep into the biological changes of fasting. We explore how your body switches from burning sugar to burning fat between hours 12 and 16. You’ll learn when cellular cleanup, known as autophagy, begins to recycle damaged proteins. We also cover the surge in Human Growth Hormone that protects your muscles and why the "fasting high" occurs during extended periods.This hour-by-hour guide explains exactly what is happening beneath the surface to optimize your metabolic health.References: https://foodnourish.com/what-happens-to-your-body-during-intermittent-fasting-hour-by-hour-timeline/Support Foodnourish Deep DivesBecome a supporter for just 2€ per month.
