“I Waited 16 Hours for This… I’m Not Wasting It on Junk Food.”

Terry Crews says intermittent fasting changed the way he thinks about food.

For the last several years, he has followed a routine where he fasts for sixteen hours and eats during a shorter window later in the day.

One thing he said stands out:

“You never want to have a bad meal.”

“Because you’re like… I waited all day for this.”

That mindset shift is one reason fasting has become so popular.

For many people, it changes eating from:

Mindless snacking.

Constant cravings.

And eating out of boredom…

into something more intentional.

In this video, Terry Crews explains how intermittent fasting became part of his long-term routine.

He says it helps support:

Energy.

Fitness.

Mental clarity.

And overall wellness.

He also discusses autophagy, a process researchers are studying that involves how cells repair and recycle components during periods without food.

According to Crews, fasting helped him feel stronger, leaner, and healthier over time.

For many people, fasting feels simpler than:

Tracking every calorie.

Eating six times a day.

Or constantly thinking about food.

Sometimes changing when you eat changes how you eat too.
