You’re almost a week in — amazing progress!
By now, your body is learning how to use fasting periods as powerful times for healing and renewal.
But even the smallest habits can accidentally turn off autophagy before it reaches its full potential.
Autophagy is like a delicate switch — once it’s on, you want to keep it glowing. But eating or drinking certain things, or stressing your body too much, can flip it off without you realizing.
Common habits that stop autophagy:
Frequent snacking (even “healthy” ones)
Sugary drinks or cream in coffee
Overeating during eating hours
Poor sleep and high stress
Autophagy is strongest when your body stays calm, rested, and empty for long enough to focus on repair.
Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.
- Good to Know
Autophagy relies on consistency and clean fasting.
Even small calorie intake or frequent snacking during your “eating window” can confuse your metabolism and reduce the cellular recycling benefits you’ve worked for.
- ☕ Tips for Today
- Stick to water, black coffee, or plain tea during fasting.
- Avoid late-night eating — your body needs that downtime to cleanse.
- Focus on relaxation before bed; stress hormones can delay autophagy.
- Keep track of how your body reacts — everyone’s fasting rhythm is unique.
- 🔔 What's Next
Tomorrow, you’ll discover what’s safe to drink during your fast — and what surprisingly breaks autophagy even if it has zero calories.
