Study Notes

  • Intermittent fasting involves leaving a long gap between meals, typically 16 hours without food and eating during an eight-hour window.
  • It is not the best approach for weight loss as it does not teach healthy eating habits.
  • Fasting is linked to a process called autophagy, which can help repair the body and extend lifespans in animals.
  • Autophagy occurs during sleep but can also be triggered by exercise and controlled fasting.
  • The purpose of intermittent fasting is to increase the time between meals, not necessarily to reduce calorie intake.
  • The fed state is when the body uses glucose in the blood as its source of energy, while the catabolic state occurs when glycogen stored in the liver and muscles is broken down into glucose.
  • Autophagy is triggered during ketosis, which occurs when the body switches from glucose to ketones, usually 12-24 hours after eating.
  • The timing of meals and snacking can affect the fed state and the likelihood of ketosis occurring.
  • Hunger is regulated by hormones, including ghrelin and leptin, which can be overridden by drinking water and staying hydrated.
  • Intermittent fasting may help the body perform repairs and recoveries, but it is not a replacement for a balanced diet and caution should be taken before fasting long-term.
