Started my fast at 6 PM last night and I’ll be breaking it at 6 PM tonight with a protein-packed meal - probably an omelet made with eggs and cottage cheese, a slice of homemade keto bread, and an arugula salad. 🥚🥗
One of the reasons I wanted to do a 24-hour fast was to encourage autophagy. During a fast, your body transitions from using stored glucose to burning fat for fuel, ketone production increases, growth hormone levels rise, and your body begins important cellular repair and cleanup processes.
Even though I follow a keto lifestyle, life happens. Hormones, stress, hidden carbs, food choices, and sometimes what feels like the wind blowing the wrong way can knock me out of ketosis. 😆
When that happens, it can take time to get back in ketosis. That’s one of the reasons I love using exogenous ketones. They support ketosis, give me steady energy throughout my busy days, help curb cravings, and I sleep so much better.
After slacking a bit the past few weeks, it feels good to be getting back to the habits that make me feel my best. 💜
Do you ever do intermittent fasting or longer fasts? I’d love to hear your experience!
