Does anyone think that would work?
What we need to do is find the most practicable way to achieve a similar result.

This was the section that interested me and I think I may give this a trial sometime to see how it goes. I think there may be some benefit in raising ketones (ay with medium chain triglyceride oil) in the context of a calorie deficient diet. Jimmy Moore's eggfest is heading in that direction but without the calorie restriction.
I think if you are trying to boost metabolism and improve the functioning of mitochondria the calorie restriction may be needed. I think our DNA is more geared to dealing with food shortages than food surplus and it's possible short periods of deprivation may improve it's efficiency. |
