Fasting and dopamine: Read ⬇️⬇️⬇️

A fast resets appetite signaling and quiets dopamine overactivation.

If you break it with refined carbs, you spike the same circuitry you just calmed.

Stability > spikes.

After fasting:
Prioritize protein.
Keep refined carbs low.
Let insulin stay quiet.
Extend the metabolic clarity.

Maintenance isn’t dramatic.
It’s disciplined.
