Point taken. But I think dest was talking about food in general (fasting) rather than food choices in his reference to abstinence. Perhaps I'm mistaken. It was the fasting component I was referring to in that post. But the "through the door" post referred to junk food, which has no real place in a good dietary regimen. So why would you want to ever bring them back into a diet at all? Once you're off them, you're free.
There are plenty of simple carbs in Paleo. I don't know how they limit them, but berries? ALL fruit is Paleo. OK, so when we lived to an avg lifespan of 22yo we ate berries. There is phytonutrient-benefits from fruits, but you've either got to take the hit from VLDL intake to get a meaningful amount in ORAC. I'll watch but I have no respect for the guy. He's largely responsible for that Snackwells garbage in the 80s.
Fuck it..I went to town on T-day as well as holiday party this weekend. I am out of the country starting next Sunday and doing a strict week I will carry over Xmas and New Years so I start new year in a good position and shed a goal of 10 pounds next 3 weeks. I did the old overdose on food these past two weeks and now sick of it so quite ready to trim it down.
Yeah, it's intake more than choices. Autophagy is moot if you activate digestion. I attended a TED-like talk at UCSF for practitioners and the speaker was convinced that a legit 5/2 fast undertaken at 50 would add 10 years.
Thanks, I'd really like to know what you think. As for the Snackwell thing, I don't know about it or the guy's association with it. But Ornish recommends whole foods and not refined carbs.
Yeah, I don't think he had any direct association but the fat-free movement was attributed to Ornish, rightly or wrongly.
Autophagy is THE goal of the true 5/2 fast. The weight loss is the perk. Drop a few cals her and there and you can reduce weekly cals by 30% or more. Maintaining that 8/8 cutoff helps as well.
