Autophagy, to me, seems to be the most compelling reason to fast.

Welcome to the fasting thread, SeaBlue  Have you been following Dr. Hallberg's/Westman very LC diet as well since your intro? The combo is magic. As a cancer survivor, reading Taubes's GC,BC chapter on cancer, is why I ended up doing Dr. Westman's ketogenic diet. Agree that the autophagy from fasting adds another bonus for me, and there was a general article in Forbes a few years back about fasting "resetting your immune system". http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevens...m/#21aa9c03337f |
