This video walks you through the complete biological timeline of a 36-hour sugar fast, from insulin dropping and liver glycogen draining to fat burning, ketone production, lower inflammation, and sharper mental clarity. You’ll see how quickly your metabolism can start switching back to the fuel system it was built to use.
