Yeah.
What about fasting?
Zero a day.
Yeah, I'm a big fasting fan.
I think fasting is historically our evolutionary set point because if you and I had to go out hunting today for food, it would be hard to find if there's no farms, no ranches, and no stores and things like that.
So I think it took days to find food.
We wanted to hunt.
You likely ate it raw in our initial evolution.
And so I think fasting naturally empties the gut as long as the gut has food in it.
what you ate is going into your liver or your lymphatics.
So the sugars and the proteins go from your gut to the liver.
Insulin goes into the liver to make fat.
The problem is from the day you're born to the day you die, your stomach and your intestines are always full of food.
So when you think you're fasting, you're not.
You're still digesting.
But when you eat
one meal a day, or you extend the fast, now your gut is empty.
Now autophagy sets in even greater.
The toxins are removed.
And the other thing that's happening within our gut is fermentation.
