This is such good information...some people do this yearly to reset their immune systems...the replies are always interesting to read...Dr. Makis has been such a champion for truth...I truly appreciate his calling...
The Carnivore diet gives all the same benefits and makes fasting very easy. I can skip eating for a day or two without really noticing, which I could never do while eating carbs.
The secret is to become fat adapted, that is where the mitochondria burn fat instead of carbohydrates. It is the insulin spike produced from eating carbs that prevents the body from going into autophagy (and burning fat).
Check out Ken Berry, Bart Kay, Anthony Chaffee, Shawn Baker, Mikaila Peterson, etc. on YouTube.
Don't get me wrong, fasting is great. I have done 10 days too. It is just way easier to do if you are fat adapted first.
Thanks for that good info...that must be why people do so well on a carnivore diet...I have heard of it but never done it...
