In fasting, timing is everything.
Your body runs on a natural rhythm — the circadian clock — that controls when you feel alert, when you digest best, and when your cells repair most efficiently. Aligning your meals with this internal clock is one of the most powerful ways to enhance autophagy and sustain energy.
Morning is for energy and focus. Evening is for rest and recovery. When you eat too late or too often, your body stays in “digest mode” and misses the chance to renew and repair overnight. But when you fast in sync with your circadian rhythm — letting your body rest from food after sunset — you amplify the benefits of fasting naturally.
Think of it as your metabolic dance:
- Feast when your body is active and ready to use nutrients.
- Fast when your body is calm and focused on healing.
It’s not about eating less — it’s about eating at the right time so your body can do what it was designed to do: restore balance from the inside out.
- Good to Know
Your body’s repair hormones — including growth hormone and melatonin — peak at night. Avoiding late meals allows autophagy to work deeper while you sleep, helping your cells rejuvenate more efficiently.
- ☕ Tips for Today
- Try finishing your last meal at least 3 hours before bedtime.
- Keep your eating window consistent (e.g., 10 AM to 6 PM).
- Break your fast with whole, hydrating foods like fruit, broth, or greens.
- Avoid heavy or high-carb dinners — they can delay cellular repair.
- Go for a light evening walk to support digestion before your fasting window begins.
