The Michael Vary Show is on the air.

Okay. is on the air. Oh! So I broke my fast after five days.

And you have to be careful when you do that because if you go read anything about fasting, you see that the risk with fasting is not the fasting.

I know people that don't know anything about it will tell, how dangerous you die.

You're not going to die from fasting, but you could die from eating after your fast because as it turns down, as it turns out, your system goes into shutdown mode.

And it becomes very, very efficient because it doesn't waste any money, any money, any energy.

And calorie, a calorie is just a measurement of energy, just as cash is a measurement of value.

And what your body does, which is the magic of fasting,

is that when you don't give your body food,

you don't give it external calories,

it starts looking around and cannibalizing and going,

well, you're still using your brain, and about 20% of your body's energy consumption is your brain.

But when you are inactive, which you typically are when you're fasting, it's an even greater percentage.

You're not using your brain more.

It's just that you're not doing

other things as much. So your body is very efficient. If we just get out of the way of our bodies.

It's on an empty tank.
