The Power of a Micro Fast: Fueling the Body While Staying Fasted

A micro fast takes fasting to a whole new level.

The power of a micro fast could be the key to helping your reach your health and weight goals.

The Power of a Micro Fast: Fueling the Body While Staying Fasted

Fasting has gained widespread attention for its potential benefits such as fat loss, cellular renewal, and improved insulin sensitivity. But for many people, traditional fasting comes with challenges: low energy, nutrient gaps, muscle loss, and difficulty sustaining the fast without feeling depleted.

This is where the concept of a micro fast offers a smarter alternative.

A micro fast allows the body to remain in a fasted, low-insulin state for maximum fat burning while still providing essential nutrients at the cellular level to keep your energy level up and support the body's renewal process. By combining Living Fuel’s SuperEssentials® Micros and SuperEssentials® Aminos, it’s possible to replace a full meal with almost no calories. It triggers a very low glycemic response and almost no digestive burden, yet it keeps the body fully nutrified. You can get both products in a money saving Micro Fast Bundle.

What Is a Micro Fast?

A micro fast is not about starvation or willpower. It’s about strategic nourishment.

Instead of consuming calories that require digestion and trigger a significant insulin response, a micro fast supplies the body with:

  • Essential micronutrients
  • Essential amino acids

These nutrients support cellular function, muscle preservation, and metabolic health without breaking the fast in a meaningful metabolic sense.

Cellular Nutrition Without Digestion

SuperEssentials Micros is a complete micronutrition powder that goes far beyond a standard multivitamin. While most multivitamins provide isolated nutrients in limited bioavailable forms, SuperEssentials Micros delivers a comprehensive broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and cofactors designed to support the body at the cellular level. It contains all 53 essential nutrients your body needs on a daily basis, as well as all 41 longevity vitamins identified by Dr. Bruce Ames.

Because it requires minimal digestion, the body can absorb and utilize these nutrients without diverting energy toward processing a meal. This allows individuals to stay mentally sharp, energized, and nutritionally supported, even while fasting.

In other words, the body is being nourished at the cellular level.

Muscle Support Without Breaking the Fast

One of the biggest concerns during fasting is muscle loss. When the body lacks sufficient amino acids, it may break down muscle tissue to meet its needs, especially during extended fasting or calorie restriction.

SuperEssentials Aminos addresses this issue directly so you can lose fat without losing muscle.

While not a protein source, it provides a complete profile of essential amino acids (EAAs), the very compounds the body seeks when protein is consumed. One serving of SuperEssentials Aminos provides the amino acid equivalent of 20 grams of protein.

These amino acids are critical for:

  • Muscle protein synthesis
  • Tissue repair and regeneration
  • Metabolic signaling
  • Recovery and resilience

Because essential amino acids can be absorbed rapidly and used efficiently, they help preserve lean muscle mass without the caloric load or insulin response of whole proteins or meals.

Almost No Calories, Very Low Glycemic Impact

When combined, SuperEssentials Micros and SuperEssentials Aminos effectively replace a meal while delivering:

  • Almost no calories
  • Minimal impact on blood sugar
  • No significant insulin spike

This makes the micro fast particularly effective for:

  • Reducing body fat while preserving muscle mass

  • Improving metabolic flexibility

  • Supporting insulin sensitivity

  • Extending fasting windows comfortably

Rather than triggering hunger and energy crashes, this combination supports steady energy and clarity, which make fasting sustainable rather than stressful.

Ideal for Fat Loss and Metabolic Health

For individuals focused on body recomposition, weight management, or metabolic health, the micro fast offers a powerful advantage. The body remains in a fat-burning, fasted state while still receiving the nutrients required for optimal function.

This approach reframes fasting from deprivation to intentional nutrification, which supports the body’s needs without interfering with the metabolic benefits of fasting.

It's Fasting Redefined

The micro fast represents a refined evolution of fasting that aligns with modern nutritional understanding. By using SuperEssentials Micros and SuperEssentials Aminos, individuals can support cellular health, protect muscle, and promote fat loss while staying metabolically fasted.


How to Do a Micro Fast Using SuperEssentials Micros & SuperEssentials Aminos

A micro fast is a strategic way to stay nutrified while remaining in a fasted, low-glycemic state. Instead of consuming a traditional meal, you supply the body with essential micronutrients and essential amino acids without significant calories, digestion, or insulin impact.

Follow the steps below to implement a micro fast safely and effectively.

Step 1: Choose Your Micro Fast Window

A micro fast works best when replacing one meal, most commonly:

  • Breakfast (extending an overnight fast)
  • Lunch (for metabolic flexibility and fat loss)

Typical micro fast durations:

  • 12-16 hours (great for beginners)
  • 16-18 hours (for experienced intermittent fasters)

You are not “skipping” a meal, you are nutrifying instead of feeding.

Step 2: Prepare Your Micro Fast Fuel

  • Mix two scoops of SuperEssentials Micros and one scoop of SuperEssentials Aminos in cold water and drink

    .

    Micros is unflavored and unsweetened and Aminos has a slightly acid citrus taste so do not expect a joyful taste experience. The long-term benefits to your body should be the focus rather than the short-term impact to your taste buds. You may want to wash it down with extra water afterward, which fits right into step 3.

Step 3: Stay Hydrated

Hydration is critical during any fasting protocol.

  • Drink water freely
  • Herbal teas or black coffee are acceptable if tolerated
  • Avoid sweeteners or creamers that trigger insulin

Proper hydration enhances nutrient absorption and supports detoxification and fat metabolism.

Step 4: Break the Fast Intentionally

When it’s time to eat again:

  • Choose a whole-food, protein-forward meal
  • Include healthy fats and fiber
  • Avoid refined carbohydrates and sugar spikes

This helps preserve the metabolic benefits of the micro fast and supports stable blood sugar.

Who Benefits Most From a Micro Fast?

A micro fast is especially beneficial for:

  • Individuals focused on fat loss or body recomposition
  • Those practicing intermittent fasting
  • Busy professionals who want nutrition without a full meal
  • Anyone wanting to support metabolic health while avoiding muscle loss
  • People who struggle with energy or hunger during traditional fasting

How Often Can You Micro Fast?

  • 1-2 times per week for beginners
  • 3-5 times per week for experienced users
  • Can be used daily if caloric needs are met at other meals

Listen to your body. This is about support, not stress.

The Key Principle

A micro fast is not about deprivation.

It’s about:

  • Fueling cells
  • Protecting muscle
  • Supporting metabolism
  • Maintaining a fasted state

With SuperEssentials Micros and SuperEssentials Aminos, you give the body what it needs without giving it what it doesn’t.
