Digestion
Digestion is the hardest job your body has to do so when you give it a break the body rewards you!
Every meatless meal you consume needs 8 hours to digest and 4 hours to detox from the body. When you consume meat this same job can take 2-5 days depending on how hard you have been on your body.
On this self-love internal healing journey, every 12 hours you can go without eating causes the body to feed off leftovers internally. This means if you can go without eating from 8 pm-8 am every hour after 8 am your body is eating up visceral fat it has stored around your organs, pancreas, bones, muscles, and nerves.
Autophagy Fasting
Intermittent fasting is great for weight loss but autophagy fasting is the cure to obesity. Obese cells stay in the body for up to 10 years unless you directly target them by doing an autophagy fast. Give your body a break from digestion it has been in that mode your entire life. Time to flip the switch from digestion to healing mode. The body can not do both at the same time, the choice is always yours.
So yes, you can lose a couple of pounds which will be water weight overnight but to continue to lose weight you will need to go over 12 hours and stick with it as long as you can.
