There are plant-sourced, low-calorie, fasting-mimicking diets that researcher Walter Longo is kind of known for.
But ultimately, they are all centered on this process of going without.
or tricking your body that maybe it is going without even when it's not, which is kind of the sneaky thing about the ketogenic diet, is it tricks your body into thinking that it's fasting when it's really not fasting.
But the reason that is important to just note is that, you know, people should not fast forever for good health.
because that's called starvation, and you'll die within a week or so.
Not good for your health.
And so this isn't technically a lifelong healthy diet that everybody should be on.
And yet it can have powerful healing properties when done for the right amount of time in the right circumstances.
I mean, some people might be skeptical of this.
So in case anyone is, I just want to point out
Every culture on earth has used fasting as either a healing practice or a religious practice for millennia.
I don't think that's a coincidence.
I think that humans in every culture on Earth have noticed, gosh, when we fast, miracles can sometimes happen.
And different cultures or religions have attributed the mechanism of action to God, you know, showing mercy and healing.
or whatever, a variety of other, you know, we're exercising the demons that were clearly present.
And so all sorts of explanations have been evoked over millennia.
And what I'm here to say as a physician and scientist is that the science is now catching up to say, whoa, this actually is really doing a lot of
amazing things in the body and brain and it is promoting healing now if anybody's super religious and they're a little annoyed with me for saying it like that god was probably involved in biology and physiology too so if you want to stick with this is god's thing this is what god wants
us to do and he shows mercy when we do it, well, he would still probably work through scientific methods to change biology and make it work that way.
I don't know.
