Did you know your body has a built-in system for self-cleansing and repair — and fasting is the key to unlocking it?
Autophagy (pronounced aw-TAH-fuh-jee) literally means “self-eating.” Itβs your bodyβs natural process of removing damaged cells and recycling them into energy and new cell parts.
When you fast, your body runs low on quick energy from food. That’s when autophagy begins — your cells start cleaning up old proteins, toxins, and waste.
This isn’t just about weight loss — it’s a deep internal reset that supports longevity, sharper focus, and cellular renewal.
Think of it as your body’s “spring cleaning mode.”
The less often you eat, the more time your body has to repair itself.
- Good to Know
Autophagy starts to ramp up after about 14–16 hours of fasting.
Even short fasts train your body to rely less on constant snacking and more on stored energy β improving metabolism and clarity over time.
- β Tips for Today
- Try a 14–16 hour fast to gently activate autophagy.
- Stay hydrated with water, black coffee, or green tea.
- Avoid sugary drinks — they’ll stop the process.
- π What's Next
In the upcoming sessions, you’ll discover what really happens inside your body as autophagy deepens — and how it transforms your energy, focus, and health from within.
Enjoy your first step toward renewal — and come back tomorrow for Day 2: How Fasting Transforms Your Cells!
