Autophagy (and fasting).

[Mr Blue Moon]

What do people think about fruit in these fasting gaps?
I have always had an apple at breakfast (before my breakfast which includes a banana) and one at lunch.

First day of skipping breakfast but I did have an apple with my cup of tea.

If you’re eating, you aren’t fasting!

5 days per week I only eat one meal the other two I usually have brunch and dinner. I drink water and black coffee.

When you say ‘fasting’ for autophagy, does that mean not even consuming water?

What the hell has an autobahn got to do with this discussion? Ok you’ve corrected it now. I guess the curse of autocorrect?

Water is ok during the fasting phase. Apparently black coffee is beneficial during the fasting phase as it aids autophagy, supposedly green tea is good too.

Green tea is superb,i try to follow each meal with a cup as it helps regulate blood sugar amongst its many benefits.

Never fasted in my 50 years......I pretty much eat every 3 hrs.

While that can be a pain in the arse.....along with regular weights sessions,it has worked brilliantly for me.

Was reading a study (or rather an article on a decent study done at Bath University) the other day, weight loss being the target of the study, they chose 3 different study groups :-
1/ IF but the 5:2 ( which I’ve never been a fan of).
2/ Traditional smaller meals.
3/ DODO diet (as per Drew Price)

All same calorie restriction etc.

I’ll link you to the findings mate, think you’ll be interested (and pleased lol) to see them, personally I’m disappointed they didn’t do the 16/8 as the IF group and think it would have shown a different figure but anyway, here it is :-

Intermittent fasting ‘no magic bullet for weight loss’ says new study

New CNEM research suggests that if you want to lose weight, intermittent fasting such as the 5:2 diet might be less effective than many people believe.

If you have a brew in the morning wave tarra to auautophagy...youve just broken your fast...your break-fast.

Breakfast isnt needed past your prime, all your doing is wearing your organs out...you want to be at least 20 hrs to see some autophagy....eating at ten at night is a beltin way to reduce your life expectancy.
Middle age spread is a myth...if you eat the same amount of food you did when in your prime then have a word with your ego cause its fukin with ya...every inch of fat gathered on a males middle correlates to 13% greater chance of kopping for a page full of cancers...

Fasting stops your telemers shortening ( so does laffin a lot) which is a good for swerving cancerous growth.

Stanley mathews fasted on a monday, played in one form or another till his 70th yr

I think its a big no, no. I think its typically only water and black tea/coffee which is appropriate.

Think a few on here are confusing the natural occurrence of Autophagy n that of 'Self induced' Autophagy.

Yes very true. There have been studies on injecting human faeces into sterile mice from people who struggle with depression and found that mice then suffer similarly

Someone injecting literal shit into you would make you depressed to be fair.
