This month was full of up and downs as I tried to transition from a ketosis diet to counting macros and eating carbs. I gained and gained and mentally I realized I just don’t do well on carbs. I took Jessicas advice and decided to carb cycle Friday and Saturday and stay in ketosis the other days. I am already feeling so much better as I am back in ketosis. Bloat is gone, aches are gone and mentally doing much better.

I am still planning on moving forward with our call tomorrow but have not decided on if there will be a replay or not. It will be a very informative call especially if you are struggling with questions like what should I eat, do I need to give up certain foods, cravings, etc. We will also touch on fasting for spiritual and physical health and how to start planning your first fast. It will be very helpful and valuable. Hope to see you there!

Hello, I’m Violet so nice to be here! I have been primarily keto for the last year and while I lost weight it was so hard to sustain. Looking forward to getting into my healthiest shape and learning from you Jess!

I know fasting can feel intimidating, believe me, I get it! I was terrified the first time I fasted for longer than 24 hours. The idea of going without food sounds very traumatizing at first. But what I've learned is that our bodies are so much more capable than we think. Let me walk you through what's actually happening hour by hour so you can see why this has become one of my favorite tools for both healing and weight loss. The First 12 Hours: "Emptying the Sink" This is when your body is still burning through the food from your last meal. You might feel a bit hungry during this phase, that's totally normal! Your body is just sending signals that it's running through the available food. Here's a cool tip: if you want to speed through this phase, this is actually a great time for cardio exercise because you're burning through that stored glucose faster. Hours 12-16: The Gateway to Fat Burning This is where the magic starts. Your insulin levels from your previous meal have finally dropped to a low baseline, and you're officially entering fat-burning mode. Your body has a sensor called AMPK that detects when you need to start tapping into stored fuel, and this is when it is activating! During this phase, light walking is your best friend. It helps accelerate fat burning and makes you feel so much better. And here's something beautiful - your body starts diverting energy to your BRAIN. From a survival perspective, when we go without food, we need mental clarity to find food, right? So you might actually feel more focused and clear-headed! Hours 16-24: The Goldilocks Zone Okay, this is where people have been misled for years. Around 16 hours, your body starts something called gluconeogenesis, and experts have told us this means you're "breaking down muscle." That's just not true. The research shows you don't start wasting muscle until you're fasting for longer than 36 hours (and even then, it's minimal if you're getting enough calories during your eating periods).
