Autophagy

Fasting, is a core component in my radical physiological transformation, which not only encourages fat loss but also helps to make your entire body fitter and stronger, on a cellular level upwards.

Intermittent Fasting encourages the body’s use of brown fat cells, but also the body’s own recycling of senescent/ junk cells.

Autophagy is the process of your body cleaning out old cells, destroying dead cells and recycling broken down components of proteins to make new stronger cells and proteins.

In short fasting causes autophagy, which causes fat loss and also stronger muscles.

To start with Intermittent Fasting might seem quite difficult or uncomfortable, but it’s really as easy as skipping breakfast and replacing it with a black coffee or tea. Once you’ve got your head around that, you can then stretch your fasting window a little further until you notice that it’s getting easier.

The real challenge with Fasting is the bodies usual times for normally eating. What happens is that if you usually have something to eat at a particular time, your body will trigger Grenin/ Adrenaline to remind you to eat. It’s not a nice or comfortable feeling but it usually passes within about 5 mins. after which, it’s much easier to continue your fast.
