# WOO® White Box Reset: What Happens to Your Body in 7 Days

> The WOO® White Box Reset is no ordinary detox program. What happens physiologically and why these 7 days are decisive for what comes next.

The WOO® White Box Reset is not primarily a weight loss program. It is an activation phase: the body is brought into a state in which subsequent dietary changes and training programs can unfold their maximum effect.

## What Happens Biochemically During the Reset

**Glycogen depletion:** The body stores 400-500 g of glycogen in the liver and muscles. The reset empties these stores in a controlled way and forces a shift toward increased fat burning, away from glucose dependence and toward metabolic flexibility. With every gram of glycogen, 3-4 g of water is released, which explains the rapid initial weight loss.

**Autophagy activation:** Calorie reduction inhibits mTOR and activates autophagy, the cellular self cleaning process. Damaged cell components are broken down and recycled. This is one of the main mechanisms through which fasting delivers proven longevity effects. Yoshinori Ohsumi received the Nobel Prize in 2016 for discovering the mechanisms of autophagy.

**Gut microbiome modulation:** Fewer processed foods and more fiber shift the microbiome: pathogenic bacteria decrease, beneficial ones proliferate. This has direct effects on immune function, mood and energy metabolism.

**Inflammation reduction:** 7 days of anti-inflammatory eating measurably reduces hsCRP and IL-6, especially in people with elevated baseline values.

## Day by Day: What Happens

**Days 1-2:** Glycogen breakdown begins. Slight fatigue or headaches are signs of the switch, not of overload. **Days 3-4:** Metabolic shift toward fat burning. Blood sugar stabilizes and the supplementation takes full effect. **Days 5-7:** Stable, elevated fat burning. From day 5, many report more energy than expected and a clearer head.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I exercise during the reset?**
Moderate exercise (zone 2, 30-45 min, 3-4 times per week) is ideal. Intense strength training with significantly reduced calorie intake is not recommended, since the glycogen stores are depleted.

**What do I eat in the evening?**
Natural, unprocessed foods adapted to your metabolic type. Protein types: protein rich with vegetables. Carb types: plant based with moderate protein.

**Will I be hungry?**
Possibly yes in the first 2-3 days. From day 3-4, hunger normalizes as fat metabolism becomes active. WOO® Amino helps reduce hunger.
