WTF Fasting
WTF Fasting 🧠🔥
Tuesday 6pm → Friday 6pm
This is my weekly 72-Hour Fast.
I start Tuesday at 6pm and don’t eat again until Friday evening.
No snacks. No “just a bite”.
Water 💧, electrolytes ⚡, black coffee ☕ if needed. That’s it.
This isn’t about suffering.
It’s about removing hunger and letting things settle.
The Phases ⏱️
Phase 1: Catabolic (0–24 Hours) 🧹
- Glycogen gets used up
- Insulin drops
- The body switches to stored fuel
This is where most people panic.
Hunger spikes… not because you need food, but because you’re used to eating.
Get through this once and it loses most of its power.
Phase 2: Fat Burning (24–48 Hours) 🔥
- Fat becomes the main fuel
- Energy stabilises
- Hunger starts to drop
This is where it clicks:
Most hunger is habit, not need.
Things feel quieter.
Less noise.
Phase 3: Ketosis (48–72 Hours) ⚙️
- Deeper ketosis
- Hunger close to zero
- Focus improves
No cravings.
No bargaining.
Just clarity.
Why I Do This 🎯
Autophagy ♻️
The body gets time to clean up.
Not magic.
Just maintenance.
Hormones 📈
Fasting supports:
- fat use
- muscle retention
- recovery
That matters when the goal is losing fat without shrinking.
Brain Fog Drops 🧠✨
Food noise is real.
When it’s gone:
- thinking is easier
- decisions are simpler
- focus improves
Appetite Reset 🍽️⬇️
Hunger adapts.
After a few weeks:
- portions feel bigger
- cravings drop
- eating becomes more controlled
Cravings Fade 🚫🍩
Sugar.
Salt.
Late-night nonsense.
You don’t fight them…
they just stop showing up.
Nebido and Hunger 💉
Nebido ramps my hunger up hard.
Not emotional.
Not psychological.
Physical.
Like the signal is turned up too high.
Where Ozempic Fits ⚖️
A low dose of Ozempic brings that signal back down.
That’s it.
Most people go:
- normal → suppressed
I go:
- high → normal
No nausea.
No food aversion.
Just baseline.
What Was Actually Wrong 🧠
I wasn’t failing discipline. I was dealing with broken signals. I was:
- eating constantly
- rarely actually hungry
- unable to go even 8 hours without food
A 24-hour fast felt impossible.
72 hours wasn’t even an option.
That wasn’t willpower. That was biology.
Who This Is For 🚨
This isn’t for everyone.
Some people need structure.
Some people need moderation.
I need distance from food. If you’re constantly pulled toward eating, this works. If you’re not, you don’t need it.
Hangovers & Impulse Control 🍺⚠️
Drinking isn’t the issue. The problem is the next day. Hungover “hunger” is just chasing:
- salt
- sugar
- grease
Fasting removes the decision.
No negotiation.
No “just today”.
This Isn’t Cheating 🧩
Fixing a bad signal isn’t cheating. It’s correction. The goal isn’t suffering. It’s making things work properly.
The Point 🏁
- remove friction
- reduce hunger
- build momentum
- stay consistent
Three days.
Once a week.
Simple.
Effective.
Once hunger is under control, everything else gets easier. And once you reach a stable weight, you don’t need this as often. Training and normal eating take over.
