Extended Fasting Coaching

Why?

You’re ready for a big health boost, and extended fasting is a game-changer. You fast for 72 hours straight, giving your body a deep reset. It’s tough but powerful for losing weight, fighting sickness, and clearing your mind. You’ll feel like you’ve unlocked a new level of strength and focus.

Fasting for days has been done for centuries, often for spiritual or health reasons. Now, science shows it can transform your body. You’ll burn fat, clean your cells, and think sharper. If you want serious results and can handle a challenge, extended fasting is for you.

How It Works?

Extended fasting means you go 72 hours without food, drinking only water, black coffee, tea, or electrolyte drinks (no sugar or calories). You might do this once a month or a few times a year. Before fasting, you eat a healthy meal with veggies and protein to prep. During the fast, you rest, drink lots, and avoid heavy exercise.

Your body switches to burning fat for energy after about 12–24 hours, which slims you down fast. It also starts autophagy, where cells clean out junk, keeping you healthy. You break the fast with small, light meals like soup or fruit to ease back in. Plan your fast, stay hydrated, and you’ll power through.

What It Is For?

Extended fasting is for a major health overhaul. You use it to drop weight quickly, protect against diseases, and boost your brain. It’s ideal if you want dramatic results and don’t mind pushing yourself. You’ll build discipline and feel proud of your grit.

It’s not just about looking lean—it’s about feeling strong inside. You’re giving your body a full reboot to work better. If you’re motivated and want to transform your health, extended fasting is your tool.

List of Health Benefits

Weight Loss

You’ll lose weight fast with extended fasting. Going 72 hours without food burns a lot of fat, especially stubborn belly fat. Studies show you can lose 1–2 pounds per fast, plus more over time if repeated. Your body uses fat stores for energy, so you slim down quickly. It’s like hitting the fast-forward button on weight loss.

Disease Fighting

Extended fasting strengthens your body against illness. It lowers blood sugar and insulin, cutting diabetes risk. Your heart benefits with better cholesterol and blood pressure. Autophagy kicks in, cleaning cells to fight diseases like cancer or Alzheimer’s. Inflammation drops, too, keeping you healthier. You’re building a stronger you.

Mental Clarity

Your brain shines during extended fasting. Fasting boosts BDNF, a protein that grows new brain cells. You’ll think clearly, focus better, and feel calm. Many say they feel super sharp, like their mind is decluttered. It’s like a mental vacation that leaves you energized.

Who This Is For?

Willpower

You need strong willpower for extended fasting. Going 72 hours without food is a big challenge. If you’re someone who can stick to tough goals, like training for a race or finishing a big project, you’ll do great. It’s hard, but you’ll feel like a champ. If you’re new, try shorter fasts first, like 24 hours, to build up.

Family & Friends

Extended fasting needs planning around your social life. You might skip meals with family or friends during the fast, so schedule it for quiet days, like a long weekend. Sip water or tea if you’re with others. On non-fasting days, you eat normally, so you can still enjoy dinners or hangouts. You stay connected with a bit of timing.

Work Schedule

This plan fits if you can take it easy during the fast. Pick days when you’re not super busy, like weekends or light workdays. You don’t need time to prep meals, but you’ll want to rest more since energy can dip. It’s good for students or workers with flexible schedules. Just plan your 72 hours for calm days.

Experience with Fasting

Extended fasting is best if you’ve fasted before. If you’ve done 16:8, 5:2, or 24-hour fasts, you’re ready to try 72 hours. Beginners should start with shorter fasts to get used to it. Your body adapts faster than you think, and with Penlago’s support, you’ll feel confident.
