When you talk about fasting, are you referring to real water only or cheat fasting with fats or other nutrients in low amounts??
Dr. Phinney is almost certainly the most astute metabolic teacher, researcher, and physician alive, and certainly the one I’ve learned the most from. A REAL treasure who is changing the world. Much respect Dr. P! An extremely discriminating mind.
I just finished a 9 day water & electrolyte fast & on the 7th, 8th & 9th day had to do alot of physical labor.
I was very weak & took numerous breaks however my mind was extremely clear & focused.
It was to clean my guts & break my sugar addiction.
Well wishes to all👍
I have done week long fasts and 24 day fasts with water only and after 3 days there was no hunger and I felt fabulous! So much energy.
Would love to hear more re: Dr. Phinney’s interactions with Ancel Keys
Seems like “Long Covid” is mostly peopl WHO took the shots and it’s most likely the effects of the shots. That’s the purpose of the shots after all.
