Is Intermittent Fasting RUINING Your Metabolism?”

🔥 “Is intermittent fasting SLOWING your metabolism? Are you actually making it HARDER to lose weight? There’s a TON of misinformation out there, and today, we’re breaking down the science—so you don’t wreck your results!”

🚨 “If you’ve ever felt stuck, exhausted, or like fasting just isn’t working anymore, this video is for YOU. And trust me, the answer isn’t what you think… Let’s dive in!”

THE METABOLISM MYTH] 

📌 “One of the BIGGEST myths is that intermittent fasting slows down your metabolism just like extreme calorie restriction. But here’s the truth…”

🔥 Short-term fasting actually BOOSTS your metabolism!

• Studies show that fasting for 12-48 hours can increase norepinephrine (a fat-burning hormone) and boost metabolism by up to 14%.
• This is your body’s way of switching into ‘fat-burning mode’ instead of shutting down!

✅ What actually slows metabolism?

• Chronic low-calorie dieting (NOT fasting).
• Excessive long-term fasting (72+ hours repeatedly without refeeding).
• Severe nutrient deficiencies from poor diet choices.

WHY SOME PEOPLE FEEL WORSE ON FASTING] 

📌 “If fasting is so great, why do some people feel like their metabolism is crashing?”

🚨 Possible Reasons:

1. You’re fasting too aggressively
   • If you’re doing OMAD (One Meal A Day) every day, your body might think you’re starving instead of adapting.
2. Not eating ENOUGH during your eating window
   • You NEED enough protein and healthy fats to maintain muscle and keep metabolism high!
3. Chronic stress & poor sleep
   • High cortisol from stress can block fat burning and make you feel sluggish.

✅ Quick Fix:

• Start with 16:8 fasting, and make sure you’re eating enough during your window.

LONG-TERM FASTING – WHEN DOES IT HURT YOUR METABOLISM?]

📌 “Alright, so when CAN fasting slow down your metabolism?”

🚨 Situations where fasting might be harmful:

1. Going TOO extreme (5+ days of fasting repeatedly)
   • This can reduce thyroid function (T3 hormone) and cause metabolism to drop.
2. Not getting enough protein & muscle loss
   • If you’re fasting but not strength training or getting enough protein, muscle loss = slower metabolism.
3. Fasting combined with a super low-carb diet for too long
   • While keto + fasting can be great, going too low on calories and carbs for too long may cause metabolic adaptation.

✅ How to Protect Your Metabolism While Fasting:

• Cycle fasting (don’t go extreme daily).
• Strength train & prioritize protein (to maintain muscle).
• Eat enough calories in your feeding window!

DOES FASTING RUIN YOUR METABOLISM?] 

📌 “So, is intermittent fasting RUINING your metabolism? NO! In fact, when done correctly, it can actually BOOST fat burning and metabolism!”

✅ The Key Takeaways:

• Short-term fasting speeds up metabolism.
• Chronic under-eating and extreme fasting can slow it down.
• Balance is key – eat enough, get protein, and listen to your body.
