Summary of Transcript:
In this video, Dr. Ekberg discusses what happens to the body when fasting. He explains that the body has mechanisms to provide a constant supply of energy, even when food is not available. He shows a graph of how the body first uses glucose from glycogen and then starts making glucose from scratch through gluconeogenesis. As time goes on, the body starts using more fat for energy, and eventually, after 72 hours, ketones become the dominant fuel for the brain. Dr. Ekberg describes different glucose sources and how gluconeogenesis works. He also mentions autophagy and growth hormone’s role in fat burning and muscle sparing during fasting. Overall, he argues that fasting can be a healthy and effective way to provide the body with energy and supports the body’s natural processes to maintain health.

What Really Happens In Your Body When You Fast?
Fasting has become an increasingly popular way for people to improve their health and wellness. By abstaining from food, the body goes through a number of changes that can have significant benefits. In this article, we’ll take a look at what happens on a cellular level during a fast, hour by hour and day by day.
Stage 1: 0-4 Hours
Within the first four hours of fasting, the body begins to use up the glucose in the bloodstream for energy. Once this glucose supply is depleted, the body may start using up glycogen stores in the liver and muscles. Glycogen is a carbohydrate that is stored in the body to provide us with a quick source of energy between meals.
Stage 2: 4-12 Hours
At around the 4 to 12 hour mark, the body will start producing ketones. Ketones are molecules that are produced from fat when glucose levels are low. They are used by the body for energy, especially by the brain. This is the beginning of the fat-burning stage of fasting.
Stage 3: 12-24 Hours
Between 12 to 24 hours of fasting, the body increases the production of growth hormone. Growth hormone is important for fat burning as well as muscle growth and repair. Additionally, during this time, autophagy begins to occur. Autophagy is a process where the body breaks down and recycles old and damaged cells.
Stage 4: 24-72 Hours
Between 24 to 72 hours of fasting, the body enters a state of deeper ketosis. This means that it is using more fat for energy than before. This stage is often referred to as the “deep fasting” stage. It’s during this stage that the body starts to use stored fat for energy.
Stage 5: 72 Hours and Beyond
After 72 hours of fasting, the body will continue to use stored fat for energy. This stage is often described as a prolonged fast. The longer the fast, the more the body will use its stored fat for energy.
Benefits of Fasting
Fasting has many benefits for the body, including weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and increased autophagy. Additionally, when the body is in a state of ketosis, it may experience improved mental clarity and increased energy.
Conclusion
Fasting is a natural and safe way to improve your health and wellness. By abstaining from food, the body is able to enter a state of ketosis and begin using stored fat for energy. Although the body goes through various stages hour by hour and day by day, the overall benefits of fasting include weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and increased autophagy.
