4. Fast (Without Starving Yourself)
Fasting is a shortcut to fat-burning mode. When you fast, your insulin levels drop, signaling your body to start breaking down fat for energy. Intermittent fasting (like eating only in an 8-hour window and fasting for 16 hours) mimics the effects of a calorie deficit without slowing down your metabolism.
Try This: Eat dinner at 7 PM, then don’t eat again until 11 AM the next day. Your body will tap into stored fat overnight and in the morning.
