I love this kettlebell exercise, great bang for your buck.

Dogs loved it too.

Helping other kettlebell users find new and interesting exercises.

Try it.

Daniel 🤙 keep up the good work.

🤣🤣🤣

I’m running!!! Whats the plan?
Follow me and i’ll let you know. ❤️

I decided to finish my fast around 72 hrs.

I broke it with easily digested proteins.

48–72+ hours: extended fasting
This enters a more medically significant territory.
Cellular changes
* Deep ketosis.
* Significant metabolic conservation adaptations.
* Stem-cell-associated regeneration pathways may become more active during refeeding.
* Autophagy and protein recycling continue.
* Thyroid hormone conversion and reproductive hormones may decrease as the body conserves energy.
Possible benefits
* Enhanced insulin sensitivity after refeeding.
* Further cellular cleanup processes.
* Some research suggests improved resilience against metabolic stress.

Fasting Day 2

24–48 hours: prolonged fasting
This stage produces more pronounced physiological changes.
Cellular changes
* Glycogen is largely depleted.
* Ketones become a major fuel source for the brain.
* Autophagy activity increases further.
* Insulin remains very low.
* Norepinephrine may rise, helping maintain alertness and metabolic rate.
* Some immune cell recycling processes may increase.
Benefits
* Stronger ketosis.
* Potential reduction in systemic inflammation markers.
* Increased cellular stress resistance pathways.
* Some evidence suggests immune-system renewal mechanisms may activate during refeeding after prolonged fasting.

Hiya, i’m doing a fast for a few days, but why …. and what happens to your body during fasting ⏳

0–4 Hours After Eating
🍽️ Your body uses food for energy
📈 Insulin rises
💪 Muscles & liver store energy (glycogen)

4–12 Hours
🔋 Blood sugar & insulin begin dropping
🔥 Your body starts tapping into stored energy
🧠 Fat burning slowly begins
(This is the worst bit, when your brain tries to trick you into eating)

12–16 Hours
⚡ Glycogen stores start running low
🔥 Fat burning increases
🧈 Ketones begin forming (brain fuel)
📉 Insulin stays lower

16–24 Hours
🧹 Autophagy starts increasing
(Cellular “cleanup” & recycling)
🧠 Mental clarity may improve
🔥 Fat becomes the main fuel source

24–48 Hours
🚀 Ketosis deepens
🛠️ Cells repair & recycle damaged parts
📉 Inflammation may decrease

48+ Hours
🧬 Deeper cellular repair mode
⚠️ Extended fasts should be done carefully

Benefits of Fasting
✅ Better insulin sensitivity
✅ Increased fat burning
✅ Cellular cleanup (autophagy)
✅ Improved metabolic flexibility
✅ Possible reduction in inflammation

Personally I use a fast as a mental reset, to reset bad eating patterns, to reignite my will power (it takes a lot) and to generally feel better.

Remember this is not medical advice, so do your own research before starting a fast.

A word of warning… Fasting isn’t for everyone — especially if pregnant, underweight, diabetic on medication, or dealing with eating disorders.
