you posted a link to the video "science of fasting" while back, I cannot find it
I know this is AA forum, but I also take vit C 5g, salt 10g, k 2grams
--10 grams of salt? yea, thats only about 5-6 grams of sodium, which I need
Id love to see anything about fasting being bad for my pancreas and adrenals
"Grazing"?
keeping blood sugar up?
which also keeps insulin up?
nah, that"s not science my friend. besides my liver ran of glycogen about 11 days ago, I am now reversing any fatty liver I have(NAFLD) because fat from liver or within liver, gets used first as fuel to make glucose(from glycerol)
high blood sugar is bad for everything
as is high insulin(dementia aka insulin resistance in brain_)
no food does wonderful things
increase HGH(which is likely healing my tendon)
increase autophagy
decrease insulin
by days 3, NEW immune cells are made
decrease inflammation
increase insulin sensitivity/decrease insulin resistance(this includes in the brain, so decrease risk of demenita)
increase ketones(since I'm not diabetic, this is wonderful, ketones are fuel source AND a signal to the body) and protein sparing
increase hormone sensitive lipase(this will get fat out of cells and ONLY works when insulin is low, so "grazing" or keeping insulin high means tat you will use muscle/lbm as a energy source, not fat)
the major problem with "grazying" is by continually spikeing insulin, you wont use fat as a fuel source, to get fat out of cells, you need hormone sensitive lipase(HSL)
which is inhibited by insulin
so the body will need fuel once insulin clears the blood of energy, so it will access lbm,
blood sugar is stable, Gluconeogenesis, and my organs, (kidneys also) are being repaired and arent stressed since they really arent doing much
oh, yeah and my stem cells are high
Now I am currently on day 8 of a fast
and I feel super good
but I also chew DA=agonist and take caffeine /ephedrine(200/20) (EC stack)
and I take my vitamin C case that does EVERYTHING
oh, I seemed to answer my own question
but eating might be better IF I was lower in bodyfat]
BTW
I can provide sources for anything above , if it is wanted
