Ketosis with Intermittent fasting . Autophagy =fasting for at least 24 hours ( autophagy starts )

[@jsorensens2]

Autophagy is amazing. I started eating a keto diet and doing Intermittent Fasting (IF) as a way of life 4 months ago after I was diagnosed with the beginnings of fatty liver disease. After only 1 month of implementing these things, I went on a 72 hour water fast, so that I could really ramp up the autophagy level. I kid you not, but a chronic pain condition that I had in my right calf for 40 years (yes, FORTY years) was cured. Cured. My doctor told me that my 72 hour fast / autophagy clean-up, was the reason. Amazing! I do IF on a 18:6 daily schedule, but once a week eat OMAD (One Meal A Day). I feel better than I have in years, look better, my inflammation is greatly reduced, and I've lost 25 pounds (out of the 30 pounds that I was overweight for my size). Next month I'll do another 72 hour fast for another robust autophagy session. I'm going to do these 3 times a year for life. Truly amazing.

[@KimFosterMD]

Amazing results! Good for you! ❤

Fasting has become a way of life after discovering its incredible cleansing and rejuvenation effects. Fasting around 16 hours per day and typically one day a week of general eating .fasting is a self healing and cleansing mechanism. Fasting sets us free from the prison of gluttony and sickness 😊

Yes! So glad you discovered this 😊

Very, very great words. I’m 28 and I’m researching a ton of ways to be different and be better. I want to start now so it’ll help me in the long run! Fasting is essential to our bodies.

[@Starchaser63]

@@maxcalifornia94 without fasting we accumulate junk in our trillions of cells, this adds to premature ageing and diseases...fasting however is the body's natural cleansing of every cell in the body at a Cellular level which means optimum health with optimum energy...we are designed to fast . " It is unnatural to be unwell " focusing on optimum essential amino acids from sufficient protein and fats makes fasting more successful 💪

I removed all processed carbs and sugars and have been doing 36 hour fasts twice a week, and one 24 hour fast once a week for the past 7 weeks and have noticed my skin looks SO good!

Thank you for this video!! We can all benefit from fasting and autophagy! I’m 28 and I am healthy and stay active but I want to be different, be better and do better for myself. Anybody else vegetarian and fast to reach autophagy?

[@peternicholls6532]

I've been vegan (whole food plant based) since 2017 and currently doing the 16/8.. Have done it before and now want to try fasting for 1, 2, 3 days plus.. I'm looking to getting rid of or reducing inflammation in my lower back ( an old injury, having had 3 cortisone injections in my lower spine ) which can restrict me from working out at times ( I've been keeping fit since age 16 but age and injury can slow you down some) , although I can go for absolute miles on my mountain bike 30/50 and 70 + mile rides when my fitness is at it's peak was never a problem. So I'm intrigued by the Autophagy side of fasting :) I'm coming up to my 63rd birthday 22/ 01/ 24 :)

[@StuartConsulting]

All works for me, a suggestion to promote, I eat 1 meal a day, most would think this as some sort of self inflicted punishment. NO. Unless you are a growing child, or an elite athlete, we need to debunk this belief you need 3 meals a day. It takes some 2 weeks for your body to adjust, but after that, you never feel hungry on 1 meal a day. Unless you eat added sugar / too many carbohydrates, that will keep you hungry.

[@heavensea141]

Fasting and getting huge bulking gains no problem to mix.

[@payelpaul3956]

What exactly does your meal contains?

[@RT-wq8bd]

I just found your video and look forward to learning more. Autophagy is new to me but I've actually done it off and on for years. Who knew?

[@PatriciaEstelles]

I was under the impression that autophagy wasn’t triggered until you’ve been fasting for longer periods of time. 20 hours or more am I not correct you make it sound like fasting 16 hours will start autophagy. I will do more research on this but thank you for this video. It helped a lot.

[@heavensea141]

The health benefits from fasting are so powerfull that even if bulking is you're goals you're smart to include fasting in you're lifestyle. Do not fast post workout meals or the day after weight lifting exercise! Start you're fast minimum 48 hours after end weights lifting exercise. You don't lose muscle mass from 48-72 fast. Drink plenty of water with Himalayan salt added ' Takes Magnesium too ' Black coffe do not breake you're fast and its awesome to remove the hunger feeling. Who do not wants you're overal health to be awesome.

Studies involving animals suggest that autophagy may begin between 24 to 48 hours of fasting. Not enough research has been collected on the ideal timing to trigger human autophagy.

[@gertrudepilihop3915]

Dr Mindy Peltz At 15 hours, we see growth hormone go up. Growth hormone is the hormone that keeps you young and helps you burn fat.” 4-8 HOURS • Blood sugars fall • All food has left the stomach • Insulin is no longer produced 12 HOURS • Food consumed has been burned • Digestive system goes to sleep • Body begins healing process • Human Growth Hormone begins to increase • Glucagon is relaxed to balance blood sugars 14 HOURS • Body has converted to using stored fat as energy • Human Growth Hormone starts to increase dramatically 16 HOURS • Body starts to ramp up the fat burning 18 HOURS • Human Growth Hormone starts to skyrocket 24 HOURS • Autophagy begins • Drains all glycogen stores • Ketones are released into the blood stream 36 HOURS • Autophagy 300% increase 48 HOURS • Autophagy increases 30% more • Immune system reset, regeneration • Increased reduction in inflammation response 72 HOURS • Autophagy maxes out 🥰🥰🥰

[@KimFosterMD]

I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! With your question about cod liver oil/omega-3, there are conflicting opinions on this, but my opinion is that this likely won't break your fast, as it's pure fat in a miniscule amount, and so is unlikely to increase your blood sugar and create an insulin response. Hope that helps!
