Benefits of intermittent fasting!

But first, the levels of it.

Level 0

0-12 hours -

At 4/8 hrs all food has left the stomach, blood sugars fall and insulin is no longer produced.

At 12 hrs all food consumed has been burnt, digestive system goes to sleep, body begins healing process, HGH (human growth hormone) begins to increase, glucagon is released to replace blood sugars.

Level 1

12-18 hours -

At 14 hrs body has converted to using its stored fat for energy, HGH increases dramatically.

At 16 hrs body is ramping up fat burning.

Level 2

18-24 hrs -

At 18 hrs HGH starts to skyrocket.

At 24 hrs autophagy begins, all glycogen stores are drained, ketones are released into the blood stream.

Level 3

24-48 hrs -

At 36 hours autophagy increases by 300%

Level 4

48-54 hrs -

Autophagy increases 30% more.

Level 5

54-72 hrs -

RULE n* 2 of a Skinny Princess

Don’t focus on hating Food, focus on maintaining a healthy relationship with Food

Healthy relationships don’t include codependency but freedom and time alone for each partner

“Food I love you and everything you know but I need some time for myself, some time away from you”

Food will understand and let you go, because Food didn’t create the toxicity of your relationship, you did, but happily, you can make it healthy again

“Food, how about we part ways for a few days?”

and Food will let you go

“Food, sweetie, i need you to survive and all, but thinking about it, i don’t need to see you that often”

Food will understand and give you space

Models don’t HATE Food, models have a healthy relationship with Food, that’s why they’re not controlled by her

Princesses cannot be controlled, Princesses control themselves as well as their relationships
