Part 4/7:
Days blended together as Quentin advanced to around 48–60 hours without food. Significant changes began here, particularly with increased Human Growth Hormone (HGH) levels, which help preserve muscle mass. He detailed the body's transition toward ketosis, emphasizing the therapeutic aspects of fasting including autophagy—a process that cleans up damaged cells.
Quentin’s relatable humor shone through as he described feeling "empty" but gradually transitioning into a state he dubbed "God Mode" as his body adjusted to fat as the primary energy source. Mental clarity and reduced cravings became hallmark benefits at this point. He also experienced bodily changes, leaving him astonished at his discomfort with familiar foods that others consumed around him.
