How food intake modifies the gut (Why intermittent fasting works?)

This sounds like a possible reason behind why recent studies show intermittent fasting, even just a fasting-like state (about 500 calories a day) for six days, can induce normal metabolic changes that last through 20+ days of a detrimental diet.

Good info, thanks for posting. And the more I read about careful fasting, the more I think it’s a not a fad but the real deal.

“With more than 10% of the world’s population obese and 40% overweight, obesity constitutes one of the most crucial health challenges.

However, existing therapeutic options remain scarce and poorly efficient.”

I never saw a picture of people in a concentration camp overweight let alone obese. Same thing with Venezuelan standing in a bread line.

I wonder what was their secret...

This is not hard. Calories are cheap, protein is expensive, Poor people given a certain level of subsistence, opt for the economically available: starch, mostly. Poor people tend to be obese in our culture because they can fill their stomachs with starch bought with food stamps, and oil from fried fast foods.

“Obesity mainly results from an imbalance between energy expenditure and caloric uptake”

That’s all any thinking person needs to know.

Sorry, but this type of research is extremely myopic.

Most people will still go for the easy solution.

Trust me: I know. It’s MUCH more complicated.

I think it’s Dr. Ted Naiman that says we will overeat low quality food until the body’s protein requirement is satisfied.

He’s basically saying it’s not our fault we are fat, it’s that we are choosing the wrong things to eat, thus causing us to overeat.

Increase protein, reduce fat, minimize carbs, and lose weight.

I’ve watched a lot of his interviews. He says the average diet is less than 15% protein, but it should be closer to 35%.

Most people are fat because they eat to much, eat crap, won’t exercise and don’t care. That’s reality.

Diets don’t work... It’s the mindset that needs to change.

if you look at any pictures of groups of people in the 1950’s and 60’s in the usa—none were fat. that was a prosperous age. what was their secret?

No USDA, no Food Pyramid.

Based on personal experience, it works. There is a recent book titled, “Life in the Fasting lane”. There are different strategies, but following the easiest schedule can significantly improve your kidney and liver health, and to lose weight.
