Most people have spent years obsessing over what to eat. Dr. Mindy Pelz says that's exactly the wrong question.

Your body runs two energy systems. One runs on food. The other only kicks in after 8 to 10 hours without eating. That's the fat-burning, brain-sharpening, hunger-suppressing system. Most people never get there.

That's why diets keep failing. You're only working with half the machine.

Mindy breaks down how to train into fasting gradually. Trying to jump straight to long fasts is like running a marathon with three weeks of 3-mile runs. Lewis learned that the hard way. She also gives one dead-simple rule for timing meals: eat when it's light out. Once darkness hits and melatonin rises, your body stores what you eat as fat.

The suffering at hour 12? That's your body repairing itself. That's the point.
