The Dangers of Fasting
To Fast or Not to Fast: What Are the Risks of Fasting?
Coffee and Fasting
- Caffeine shifts circadian clock (extending it by ~40 minutes when consumed later in the day)
- Consuming caffeine during fasting window for 13-11 IF still showed a 36% reduction in breast cancer recurrence [1]
- Pilot studies have been done with Type 2 diabetes and an 8-hour feeding window where they still saw positive effects on blood glucose regulation, insulin sensitivity, and weight loss while consuming coffee in the 16-hour period.
Amino Acids and Fasting
- Consuming amino acids halts the IGF-1 and mTOR deactivation, limiting autophagy. ?
Meal Timing
Insulin sensitivity and fatty acid metabolism are both higher in the morning vs evening.
