Metabolic Monk: The Fasting Simulator

PROTOCOL INTELLIGENCE

1. FLUID DYNAMICS (THE TANK)

Target: 3-4 Liters (100-135 oz) daily.
The Trap: Drinking plain water without salt flushes electrolytes (Natriuresis). This lowers blood volume and causes dizziness.
The Fix: "Snake Juice" (Sodium + Potassium) holds water in the blood.

2. THE GHRELIN WAVE

Hunger is not a constant line; it is a wave. It spikes at your normal meal times.
Strategy: Wait 20 minutes. It will pass. Salt water helps blunt the signal.

3. EXERCISE & CORTISOL

Lifting: Dumps Glycogen. Great for entering Ketosis, but high cost to Electrolytes.
Rucking (Zone 2): Burns pure fat. Low stress. Ideal for sustained fasting.
