Intermittent Fasting (IF)
The dietary practice of restricting your food consumption to a specific window of time. It is used as a supplement to your diet.
In this fasting state, our bodies can break down extra fat that’s stored for the energy it needs.
Approaches to intermittent fasting
- Skipped meals - when you skip over a meal to induce extra time of fasting.
- Eating windows - this condenses your entire macronutrient intake between a 4 and 7-hour window. The rest of the time you are in a fasting state.
- 24-48 hour cleanse - where you go into extended fasting periods and do not eat for 1-2 days.
Autophagy definition and benefits
The process by which the cell devours itself.
- Non-essential parts like damaged proteins are recycled and invading microorganisms and toxic compounds are removed.
- Autophagy plays an important role in stopping the aging process, reversing disease, and preventing cancer, but it doesn’t happen all the time.
- Autophagic processes can be initiated by fasting, protein restriction and carbohydrate restriction.
Benefits of Intermittent Fasting
- Mental Clarity. Once your body is keto-adapted, your brain can effectively run on ketones, which are derived from the fat breakdown in the liver.
- Fitness while fasting. The benefits include higher metabolic adaptations, improved muscle synthesis and improved response to post-workout meals.
- Intermittent Fasting and Muscle. Intermittent fasting is beneficial for muscle mass while fat mass decrease significantly.
- Autophagy. The fasting process will activate autophagy in your cells.
- It will increase your ketones quicker than if you were just eating a standard ketogenic diet.
- Intermittent Fasting and Cancer. Fasting for 2 days to a week can have a protective effect on the cells in the body while they are undergoing intense bouts of toxicity.

Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet
- Weight Loss.
- Keto naturally lowers blood sugar levels due to the type of foods you eat.
- Mental Focus: Ketones are a great source of fuel for the brain.
- Increased Energy & Normalized Hunger: Fats are shown to be the most effective molecule to burn as fuel.
- Epilepsy: Keto diet has been used since the early 1900’s to treat epilepsy successfully.
- Cholesterol & Blood Pressure: shown to improve triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels most associated with arterial buildup.
- Insulin Resistance.
- Improvements in your skin health.

The Ketogenesis process
It supplies energy under circumstances such as fasting or caloric restriction to certain organs (e.g. the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle).
In ketogenesis, our livers start to break down fat into a usable energy source called ketones. Ketones can stand in for glucose as fuel for the body when there’s a glucose shortage.
Once ketogenesis kicks in and ketone levels are elevated, the body is in a state called “ketosis,” during which it’s burning stored fat.
The Keto diet
That means eating mainly meats, eggs, cheese, fish, nuts, butter, oils, and vegetables while avoiding sugar, bread and other grains, beans, and even fruit.
