New Optimal Protein podcast,
The entire transcript is posted, but near the start is…
Quote:
“It probably takes something like three days of complete fasting to upregulate autophagy in a similar matter to 30 minutes of exercise.
Wow, that's a lot.
Yes, it's a big difference. And there's really no evidence that that fasting is better in any way than exercise. So in general, there are two main things we can take away.
One is that fasting doesn't do that much in humans, it seems, unless maybe after a very prolonged fasting and then sort of thinking about, well, what are your goals here with this fast, I think is worth thinking about. And also, we can't compare fasting studies in mice to humans pretty much at all because it's a much bigger energetic stress for mice. Mice die if they don't eat for 24 hours, whereas humans can last potentially weeks as long as they are getting some water.”

Fascinating research! Like Dr Attia, extended fasting brought no additional benefit over a mild TRE, e.g. 8 hours, plus modest exercise. Getting enough protein and nutrients becomes more important as we age. |
