I Reset My Metabolism, This Is The Result

And the permanent effect it has had on my body

I was eating only 4 oz of lean meat, 4 oz of veg, 4 oz of fruit for six weeks, combined with intermittent fasting.

It's been about two months since I completed the metabolic reset. What started as a diet turned out to be a lifestyle change that has permanently benefited my life.

Was it hell? Surprisingly, it was tough only the first week. As one would expect, cravings for anything went wild in the first week. I would want to eat anything carbs or starch. It's what my body wanted. Walking by a bakery was death. But I quickly realized in the second week that craving died off.

Three critical things happened to me during the reset

1. My cravings quickly died, and I felt full from the 4 oz of meat, veggie, and fruits.
2. I didn't notice a spike in energy, and I wasn't superman. But I felt mentally clear. I felt NO fatigue. Like my body could keep going.
3. My taste changed. Since I had 0 sugar, I started to taste things very well. Veggies tasted better, and any fruit was like…
