Autophagy (and fasting).

[Dirty Harry]

Yeah, from what I've read (and where the sources behind the research) it all seems positive.
I've shed a few pounds and feel physically lighter/bouncier but still can't shake off this fatigue.

Can't put my finger on it as I'm not really eating any less as mentioned above. Anecdotally it seems it takes a while for this to level out (and I've the added variable of increasing gym work - deadlifting/weights amongst the yoga, pilates and weekend run).

Goals were:

* Shift a few excess pounds (although I train every day and don't over eat and generally eat healthily, I also have a desk job....and visit the office just once a week, so I'm quite stationary).
Cutting out some calories I won't burn can't be a bad thing.

* Eat earlier in the evening. I was eating past 10pm most evenings and this may in turn have affected my sleep (which is another issue)

* Interest in Autophagy and how this may benefit ones health for a variety of reasons (decrease inflammation, cell repair). This last one if the element I'd have to run with in good faith alone at this stage.

I take it you’ve been to the doctors etc with this extreme fatigue mate ?

For what it’s worth, my KQ has had this extreme fatigue for a while now, tests are up and down but she has other health implications which can affect her results, think she’s off for a more in-depth liver scan and tests soon.

Have you tried KETO OMAD 23/1 before?

No but I'll research it . Thanks

@paulsimpson I’ll be looking at switching to 23/1 OMAD in the future

This might be of interest to you guys as it came up on my YT timeline (trying to back into this mentally).

Over 1 months into my fasting journey and really enjoying it. Im feeling, seeing (and friends and family) are noticing huge changes in my body over the last 5 months due to zero alchohol, drinking yerba, intermittent fasting [18/6] [often OMAD] with healthy keto diet (high fat, fruit veg and very low carb) and extensive use of the gym. Thanks for the tips so far guys, especially the taking of electrolytes morning and nighttime as I'm sure this is helping keep my strength up for the gym and work.

On the downside (or upside) think I've maybe learnt the hard way that you can have too much good bacteria in your system after spending Tuesday night on and in the bog.

For anyone reading this thread and thinking of starting or trying intermittent fasting I'd say go for it and enjoy it.

Had my first pasta (carbs) after one month (two days after illness), enjoyed it much more than any pasta I've had in ages.

Am I alone in enjoying meals much more when fasting, the preparation and eating (more prolonged timewise) becomes a big positive part of the day instead of just stuffing food down my throat

I mean 30 seconds in, "feminists aren't going to like this one." First red flag.

Let's see what kind of doctor this Dr Mindy Pelz is. Quick Google. Oh, she's a chiropractor. So not a medical doctor then. Not an academic working in the area of nutrition. Yeah, I think I'll pass on the 2 hour podcast of someone selling a book they're not qualified to write.

Of course I skipped all the 'feminist' bits, but there's actually some important bits of info that correlates to stuff other experts in the field have talked about.

Those are the interesting bits.

It's helped bring down my eating time for stupidly late (10pm plus every evening) to around 6pm, 7 pm latest.

But that window (if eating the same amount pre IF) isn't going to lose you anything and the autophagy element is far more complex that the 8 hour window will allow benefits to kick in.

I'm just eating my breakfast later and there may be benefit to not eating straight away as you rise in the morning, but unsurprisingly there's an awful amount of misinformation out there.

If I can skip a few lunches now and again (just having that late breakfast around 11am) I'll (obviously) lose weight as less calories in....but from experience of this (since I started the thread), there's a lot of fad around it.

Didn't they discover something similar about the Atkins diet a while ago? All of this complicated-sounding science and it just turned out that when people don't eat carbs, they just eat fewer calories overall?
