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 could be the key to helping your reach your health and weight goals.
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:
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:
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:
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:
Typical micro fast durations:
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.
Proper hydration enhances nutrient absorption and supports detoxification and fat metabolism.
Step 4: Break the Fast Intentionally
When it’s time to eat again:
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:
How Often Can You Micro Fast?
Listen to your body. This is about support, not stress.
The Key Principle
A micro fast is not about deprivation.
It’s about:
With SuperEssentials Micros and SuperEssentials Aminos, you give the body what it needs without giving it what it doesn’t.
