Fasting Isn’t Enough: Add This To Trigger Real Fat Burning | Dr. William Li

Описание: If you’ve been fasting consistently, pushing through hunger, skipping meals, and still seeing stubborn belly fat refuse to move, this message is for you. In this eye-opening talk, Dr. William Li explains why fasting alone often fails—and why it’s not a willpower problem.

This video breaks down the hidden hormonal signals that decide whether your body burns fat or protects it, with a special focus on insulin, timing, food choices, muscle signaling, and metabolic flexibility. You’ll learn why you can be fasting on the outside while your body stays locked in fat-storage mode on the inside, and how common “healthy” habits quietly sabotage fat burning.

Dr. Li reveals why the goal of fasting was never starvation, why breaking your fast the wrong way can erase all your progress, how eating late blocks overnight fat burning, and why resistance training inside a fasted window can completely change the metabolic conversation.

This is not about fasting longer or eating less. It’s about teaching your body that it’s safe to burn fat—and removing the signals that keep it defending itself.

If fasting has felt hard, frustrating, or unsustainable, this talk will help you understand what’s really happening and how to finally make fasting work with your biology instead of against it.
