Brain function improves, the body's metabolic rate increases, leading to more efficient fat burning. Human Growth Hormone increases dramatically over the next 12 hours (stimulating growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration) |

Glycogen stores depleted Fat burning increases HGH production amplified Autophagy begins (cell recycling/composting) Ketones are released into bloodstream 24-48 hours: Muscle growth and repair is in full swing. Autophagy, a cellular process in which the body breaks down and recycles damaged cells and proteins, which can have anti-aging and disease-fighting benefits has increased 300-fold. 48-72 hours: Immune system resets and the body begins to produce more white blood cells and regenerates.

Additionally, fasting may not be appropriate for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions.
