Fasting is one of the most powerful tools for fat loss, healing, and longevity, but it fails for many people because their metabolism is not prepared. In this episode, Ben Azadi explains why fasting feels miserable or unsustainable for most people and reveals the hidden metabolic mistakes that sabotage results before a fast even begins. You’ll learn why being a sugar burner instead of a fat burner makes fasting feel like torture, how stress and poor sleep block fat burning, and why nighttime eating can completely ruin your fast the next day. Ben also breaks down how inflammation, toxins stored in fat cells, low protein intake, and an all-or-nothing approach to fasting lead to crashes, cravings, and failure. This episode covers: Why fasting fails when metabolic flexibility is low The role of insulin, cortisol, and inflammation in fasting success How stress, sleep, and nighttime eating impact fat burning Why toxins can make fasting feel worse instead of better How to properly prepare your body before fasting The 7 foundational steps to make fasting easier and effective How to know when your body is truly ready to fast If fasting has ever felt like failure or suffering, this episode explains why it was not your fault and how fixing the foundation can completely change your results.
