A 16:8 eating window (16 hours fasted, 8 hours eating) or one meal a day (OMAD). Fasting triggers autophagy — cellular cleanup that clears damaged proteins and may slow facial aging. It also reduces insulin spikes that drive acne, accelerates fat loss, and improves metabolic markers that show up in skin clarity.

16:8 for 3 months. Face is visibly leaner and acne reduced significantly.

Works for the fat loss side but hard to sustain socially.
