Autophagy (and fasting).

[Bigga]

I asked my GP the same question when she told me about intermittent fasting.
She said it's unhealthy to not eat for 2 or 3 days.
The body needs vitamins, proteins, fats and carbs as well as sugar (natural sugar) to maintain the health of your organs.
Just stopping eating can lead to many different problems. So definitly no health benefits.

But a 'General Practitioner' would say that as they don't study for this as an expertise. The have whatever general knowledge they know about.

There are NHS successful trials and specialities in fasting for weight loss and diabetes, so they would be hocus pocus according to that GP!

There are some expert Docs that do 'Ted Talks' and have their own channels on the subject.

We, already, know how the body can survive on next to nothing for a month, so a couple of days is nothing in a controlled setting.

Oh sorry, I forgot Mr anti-vax knows everything.

Even more about the human body than a doctor. :)

Well, firstly, you know I'm not 'anti-vax'. You're body, your choice. Same for me.

Give yourself 10 jabs a year for all I care.

Secondly, I never said I knew more than a GP, but Docs with specialities in these subjects seem to have more research into these subjects than a GP that often look into these subjects based on the expertise of those Docs.






Oh yeah... :)

Last 4 days, I've gone back to fasting.

1st day, I did 16 hrs then 20 hrs the next two. I've been in the gym whilst doing it or training at home.

Today, I felt shocked at my body, literally shaking and breaking into sweats at 16 hrs again, so helt I had to eat. Pretty annoyed to be honest as I've been taking on fluids of water and fresh lemon and lime juice and black coffee.

Not sure what happened, but I'm pushing myself again tomorrow. I want to do 36 hrs by a month's time.

Sack the gym...training in a fasted state is good clickbait...try restoring in a fasted state or stretch.

I wouldnt go the doc's to cure arthuritus or psoarisis....i'd target my emotional muscles.

Isn't that what I'm doing...?

Or do you mean train fed and recover by not training or eating for 24 hrs or more? I kind of do the latter anyway as in a small training session before I sleep then have a fasted period in which I might include a workout.

Be still whilst fasting...youre restoring

When you stretch dont over do it...like a cat getting up on a new day...within five little flosses it resets itself to the previous day ( pandiculation).
If your stretch positions are new or obtuse youll tell your nervous system you value whatever part of your anatomy youre targeting ( wise to target the obtuse)

Interesting.

Thanks.

21 pounds down now. And under 16 stone for tye first time in many years. Really enjoying the process and this is the only diet that seems to have worked for me. Just have my tea and that’s it. Feel a bit hungry in the afternoon but so much better than feeling sluggish. I am targeting 90kg and I am six foot with big broad shoulders so think will look ok at that.
