Okay, friends, I’m a little over ten weeks into my Daily Intermittent Fasting journey, and I’m so excited that I wrote a song about. Really. I did. (I tend to get excited about things and write about them–A LOT….which is why I have written over 50,000 pages of language arts and writing curricula for kids–I really love language arts and writing! lol). So it is with my beloved Daily IF! But I didn’t just write this because I love IF. Or because I love clever. (I REALLY love clever!) I wrote “Fasting Inferno” for another reason as well…
Motivation. I believe we all need motivation to keep doing the hard things in life. Controlling our weight and health through Daily Intermittent Fasting is no small feat. It, much like low carb eating or clean eating, requires discipline, motivation, and forward thinking.
We can get these many places…..

One important place we can get discipline, motivation, and forward thinking that is often overlooked is from WITHIN us.
(Stay with me on this blog as I teach you how to find the strength and self-regulation within you to carry out your health goals!)
Yep…within us. What we say to yourselves, think to ourselves, and, yes, even sing to ourselves.
I have many tricks and tips that I teach in the slideshows, videos, and podcast episodes, one of which is reminding ourselves in thoughts, words, songs, and actions that this works–and why we are doing this, why we can succeed, and that it works to help us reach our goals.
This parody is a trick that I have been using since my first week of Daily IF–singing Burn, Body, Burn to myself to remind myself that my body is burning its own fat stores during my fasting window.
It works! Sing it. Shout it. Dance it out!
But don’t give up. Your body will become a fat burning machine if you just don’t give up.
The video is below, but here are the words. (Original song in regular font; fasting parody in bold font!)
You can turn your body into a fat burning machine! Fasting Inferno works for everyone who stays true to it!
“Burn the fat all out….” 🙂
Oh, and if you’re too young to remember this disco song, go ahead and listen. It’s quite catchy! 🙂
Fasting Inferno
Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn!
Burn, body, burn! Burn, body, burn! Burn, body, burn! Burn, body, burn!
To my surprise, (listen!) One hundred stories high
To my surprise, (listen)….fasting started to rise.
People gettin’ loose y’all gettin’ down on the roof (Do you hear?)
People losin’ pounds, y’all…I saw it all around.
The folks are flaming…. out of control
Bodies are flaming…full on control.
It was so entertainin’ when the boogie started to explode
It was so exhiliratin’ when the fa-at would explode
I heard somebody say
I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno!
Burn, body, burn! Fasting inferno!
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burn, body, burn! Burn that fat all out!
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno!
Burn, body, burn! Fasting inferno!
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burn, body, burn! Burn that fat all out!
Burnin’!
Satisfaction (uhu hu hu) came in the chain reaction (burnin’)
Satisfaction (uhu hu hu) came in the chain reaction (burnin’)
I couldn’t get enough, so I had to
self destruct, (uhu hu hu)
I joined right in the fast…coz I wanted fat to blast!
The heat was on (burnin’), rising to the top, huh!
The heat was on (burnin’)…rising to my fat, hm!
Everybody’s goin’ strong (uhu hu hu)
Yeah, I was goin’ strong (uhu hu hu)
And that is when my spark got hot
And that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno!
Burn, body, burn! Fasting inferno!
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burn, body, burn! Burn that fat all out!
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno!
Burn, body, burn! Fasting inferno!
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burn, body, burn! Burn that fat all out!
Up above my head I hear music in the air (I hear music!)
Up above my head, I saw fat cells in the air,
That makes me know there’s a party somewhere
And I knew I’d make it–with fasting everywhere
Satisfaction (uhu hu hu) came in the chain reaction (burnin’)
