Part 5/7:
The Final Days: Embracing Fat as Fuel
By days three to four, Quentin's body was fully transitioned into ketosis, enabling him to attain a newfound sense of energy and sustainability. He noted the importance of his microbiome in regulating autophagy, directly influencing his body’s ability to detoxify during fasting.
He broke down prevalent myths about fasting, such as the misconception that the stomach's sole purpose is to digest food. He emphasized that fasting allows the stomach to function as a healer, giving the body a rare chance to recover and expunge toxins.
Throughout these final days, he became well-acquainted with his body’s cues and the reality of nutrient balance, advocating for salt and mineral supplements to mitigate any potential fasting-related headaches or dizziness.
