The number one absolute best hack for fasting. So you cannot just dive into a fast if you're eating a high carbohydrate diet, or you're eating 3 meals or 4 meals a day. You really need to work up towards it. So you need to get on a very clean keto type of diet where your body gets into a nice fat burning mode, where it starts to produce ketones, and it starts to utilize those ketones. Once you're in that kind of a mode, it's easy to slip into a 24 or 48 or even a 72-hour fast. It is actually not as bad as you would think it is. And fasting is so super, super healthy. You would reset all sorts of things in your body, chew up all the junk that's floating around inside there, build muscle, lean muscle mass improves, gut function improves, clarity of thought improves. There are so many things that improve. Your body will even start to produce its own stem cells, and those stem cells will start to handle old injuries in the body. If I was about to get sick and I felt like, oops, I've got something coming on, the first thing I would do would be stop eating because you don't want your gut doing something else while it's supposed to be dealing with whatever pathogens you have floating around in your body.
