What Happens to Your Body at 63 Hours of Fasting: Insights into Insulin, Fat Burning, Ketosis, Autophagy, and Inflammation Reduction

At 63 hours of fasting, your body is likely undergoing a number of changes as it adapts to the lack of incoming food. Here are some of the things that may be happening in your body:

1. Decreased insulin levels: With no food intake, your body’s insulin levels will decrease as there is no need to produce insulin to process incoming glucose.
2. Increased fat burning: As your body depletes its glycogen stores (the stored form of glucose), it will begin to rely more on stored body fat for energy.
3. Ketone production: With increased fat burning, your liver will start producing ketones, which can be used as an energy source by your body and brain.
4. Autophagy: Fasting has been shown to increase autophagy, a process in which your body breaks down and recycles damaged or dysfunctional cells and proteins.
5. Reduced inflammation: Fasting has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which may have a number of health benefits.

It’s important to listen to your body during a fast and seek medical advice if you experience any severe symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, or extreme hunger. It’s also important to break your fast in a safe and gradual manner to avoid any digestive discomfort.
