Re: Fwd: Re: Newbie here -- question about every other day fasting...

[Guest guest]

Saw dust? Maybe, if it’s from a Ginkgo Biloba or a white willow tree, it might

be good? I here many parts are edible. It’s is a good source of non-soluble

fiber. A nutritional analysis break down is hard to find. Let us know you it

goes? Just don’t eat hemlock!

From the <i>BYT120YD</i>:

“One should be aware that while total fasting increases UCP (uncoupling protein)

activity in the rat, merely restricting food intake by 50 percent actually

decreases UCP expression. When totally deprived of the body acts to maintain

temperature by turning up the UCPs thereby decreasing its metabolic efficiency

and burning its fat. On the other hand, responding to partial food deprivation,

it may just turn down the thermostat. Indeed CRON humans, as well as monkeys,

tend to display a body temperature one or more degrees lower than normal. That’s

what you want. "

Page 82 <i>BYT120YD</i>

“Short-term fasts may aid metabolic adaptations however, they are not a

necessary part of the CRON diet program.”

Page 83, <i>BYT120YD</i>

I took increasing metabolic inefficiency as something not so desirable. If you

do fast in some capacity and your body temperature begins to rise that’s a sign

to eat something or at least that you are not doing CRON.

Of course if you if you are fasting for a political protest or something of the

sort. You want temperatures to rise. But that’s a different matter.

Thanks.
