So, how is your fast eventually ended? doesn’t an insulin response eventually result when you start eating again?
certainly but it is not a constant state of being spiked.
I don’t try to force things on people, low carb/high fat and fasting works for me and the other people I know who do it very well
fwiw- in my mid 50’s, stronger with more lean muscle and the ability to lift more and work more than most men half my age and if not for thinning gray hair, wrinkles and scars could easily pass for a fit 25-30 years old without that much work
Good question, because actually you have to be really careful when you break an extended fast and not overload on carbs, because this is called "Refeeding Syndrome", which can actually be fatal. (This actually happened in the liberated death camps, when they fed the victims too much, too quickly). You have to eat small, easily digestable portions, I usually break a fast with an avocado, and wait a few hours before eating another small meal.
