You Haven’t Eaten in 24 Hours… Is This Death or Enlightenment?

The 5-Day Fasting Breakdown Nobody Asked For but Your Mitochondria Needed

Let’s start with the obvious question:

If you didn’t eat for five days… would you die?

Or would your body just look around, crack its knuckles, and say, “Finally. Peace and quiet. Time to fix the mess.”

Spoiler: You’d be shocked how much healing your body can do when you stop feeding it like a panicked grizzly preparing for winter.

DAY 1: The Glycogen Funeral

Day one is where you burn through glycogen, your stored carbs, which is basically sugar wrapped in three emotional-support water molecules.

So yes, you are losing “weight,” but it is mostly water you have been hoarding like an anxious camel.

People drop one to three pounds on day one. Some drop more. Some insist it is “toxins,” but no Karen, you just peed out yesterday’s tortilla chips. 😒

Your insulin starts dropping too. That is the metabolic version of turning off Netflix’s autoplay so your body can stop binge-watching bullsh*t and finally get some work done.

Hunger fades because you are eating yourself. More specifically, your fat, which is biologically the greatest snack your body ever invented.

It is self-cannibalism but make it wellness.

Now listen, electrolytes matter here: salt, potassium, magnesium, calcium.

Skip them and your muscles will text you something like:
“Hey bestie, how about a cramp so violent you forget how to breathe?”

Drinks allowed: tea, coffee (black), water, lemon water.

Things not allowed: cream, sugar, hope…
