Intermittent fasting is not a diet. It's a schedule. You're not changing what you eat — you're changing when you eat. And that simple shift has profound effects on your body, your focus, and your energy.
The Basics
The most popular method is 16:8 — fast for 16 hours, eat within an 8-hour window. Most people skip breakfast, eat from noon to 8pm, and fast overnight.
Your body spends the first 12 hours burning through glycogen (stored carbs). After that, it switches to burning fat for fuel. That's the zone you're targeting.
What Happens to Your Body During a Fast
- Hours 0–12: Digestion, glycogen depletion
- Hours 12–16: Fat burning begins, insulin drops, ketones rise
- Hours 16+: Deep fat oxidation, cellular repair (autophagy), mental clarity peaks
The 3 Biggest Mistakes Beginners Make
1. Breaking the fast with the wrong food. A high-carb meal spikes insulin and crashes energy. Break your fast with protein and healthy fats.
2. Ignoring electrolytes. Fasting depletes sodium, potassium, and magnesium rapidly. Low electrolytes cause the headaches, fatigue, and brain fog most people blame on fasting.
3. Not supplementing creatine. Extended fasting increases muscle breakdown risk. 5g of creatine monohydrate daily maintains muscle mass with zero impact on your fast.
