Metabolic Blowtorch Diet: The Benefits of Fasting for Longer Periods w/Daniel Kelly

There is a lot of confusion about fasting. Most of the “gurus” are talking about windows of fasting that are between 12 and 16 hours, but these windows are ineffective. Why don’t we get anything out of fasting for that long? Why does the real magic happen after the 20th+ hour of fasting? Why is it so important to eat on our training days? On this episode, Daniel Kelly and I dispel some of the biggest myths about intermittent fasting, and share how the Metabolic Blowtorch Diet teaches a more effective fasting method.

If you can fast for 30 hours, 3-4 days a week over a 2-4 week period, you will drastically change your body composition, and you won’t lose muscle. Jay Campbell

At the start of the show, we talked about the broad strokes of typical intermittent fasting and how it misses the mark. Next, we talked about some of the biochemical changes that take place when we fast for longer periods. Daniel also shared his own experience of long periods of intermittent fasting and the results he saw. We also discussed:

  • What you should be concerned about if you have over 30% body fat
  • How to burn even more fat on a fasting day
  • How to maximize your BDNF output

The current messaging around intermittent fasting is actually making people miss out on a great opportunity to dramatically lose fat. Instead of fasting for 12-16 hours where we get minimal benefits, we need to learn to go over 20 hours. In that zone, our bodies become fat burning furnaces, allowing us to get shredded and lean. We can’t make the mistake of focusing on our numbers, when we should remember that our bodies are about the big picture—especially when we’re trying to drop body fat. So much happens biochemically in the brain during long fasts, and this can also be truly life-changing. In order to see these profound benefits, you’ve really got to use a longer duration when fasting. Guest Bio Daniel is a contributor on totrevolution.com.
