Fasting for autophagy

For 12 hours your body is working with your last meal then your body switches gears from 13-16 hours your body is producing growth hormone. From 16 to 24 hours your body is producing growth hormone and Autophagy.

AUTOPHAGY FASTING HEALING SELF

The most difficult thing about autophagy fasting is keeping protein low. Eating 20 or less grams of protein goes against everything we've been told about a balanced diet. But so does keto.

High protein is great! It stimulates the mTOR pathway, which helps you create tissue, like muscle.

mTOR is also what ages you. If your cells are replicating faster, they are aging faster. Every time a cell duplicates, it wears down the caps at the end of the DNA, known as telomeres.

So if you are eating high protein every single day of your life, that is not balanced either.

Take care of the cells you already have with autophagy! Autophagy cleans the cell by recycling old and unneeded components. Cycled smartly, it does not affect muscle mass.

Why would your body destroy the useful stuff when it has so much else to work with? It is smarter than that.

If you have overtaxed liver or kidneys, they will thank you for the break. A low-protein diet is often recommended to help treat certain health conditions like kidney disease.

The best thing about autophagy is the potential to unstick you from a plateau.

Remember, autophagy macros are:
<20 g protein
<50 g net carbs (you can go lower if you want)
60% of calories from good fat
>17 hours fasting, break your fast with fat
