If you’ve ever woken up on Monday feeling like Jigglypuff/a pufferfish, then you’re not human I envy you. If, however, you’re like the most of us, it seems there’s a solution: a 24-hour fast (of sorts).
“In a short 24-hour fast, the body burns off stored fat, repairs damaged tissues and cells, and cleanses itself of toxins but usually doesn’t have time to tap into hard-earned muscle tissue…Fasting increases the production of the hormones responsible for lipolysis, which is the process of mobilizing fat, so it’s a great way to jump-start your system.”
I don’t recommend cutting food completely, but a modified version could be worth a try. My typical indulgent weekend recovery move: lots of water with lemon, fresh green veggie juice, veggies galore, and a nice spin sesh.
