How to Support Fat Burning While Fasting – Prolonging your fast

Macadamia MCT Fat Bomb

What Does “Prolonging a Fast” Mean?

Prolonging a fast means extending the amount of time you go without eating calories, to deepen the health effects of fasting such as fat burning, better insulin sensitivity, and autophagy before having your first proper meal.

Simple Food-Based Hacks to Help Prolong a Fast and Stay in Fat-Burning Mode

• Black coffee or green tea (no sugar, no milk)

  Supports fat oxidation and helps reduce appetite.

• MCT oil (½–1 teaspoon)

  Provides ketones for clean energy, extending fat-burning.

• Calocurb (a natural appetite suppressant from hops extract)

  Helps curb hunger by moderating the hormone ghrelin.

• Homemade bone broth or vegetable broth (low or no calories)

  Supplies minerals and electrolytes with minimal calories.

• Electrolyte water (water with a pinch of salt)

  Keeps you hydrated and helps reduce cravings.

Why These Work

These strategies keep insulin low, help manage hunger hormones, and support stable energy — allowing your body to stay in a fat-burning state for longer.
