The metabolic journey

The 6 stages of a fast, hour by hour.

A fast isn't one long timer - it's six distinct metabolic stages, each with its own physiology and its own best use of the time. FastFlow maps your live biometrics onto these stages so you always know where you are and what to do.

0-4h

Fed

Digesting; insulin high, glucose is fuel. The easy setup stage.

4-12h

Clearing

Insulin falls; your body burns stored glycogen - mostly overnight.

12-16h

Shifting

The metabolic switch; first ketones and a passing hunger wave.

16-24h

Burning

Ketosis; fat is primary fuel and mental clarity peaks.

24-48h

Cleansing

Autophagy ramps up; conserve energy and stay gentle.

48-72h+

Renewing

Deep autophagy and regeneration; rest is the work.
