Nighttime Fasting Protocol

Meaning

A Nighttime Fasting Protocol is a clinical and lifestyle recommendation that mandates a consistent, prolonged period of abstinence from caloric intake during the biological night, typically lasting 12 to 14 hours. This strategy emphasizes the importance of the overnight period for metabolic rest, repair, and the transition to fat oxidation. The protocol aims to align the fasting state with the body’s natural circadian rhythm, during which metabolic efficiency is naturally reduced and the body is programmed for repair. Adherence to this protocol is a foundational practice for improving insulin sensitivity and supporting a healthy body weight.
