The longer you fast, the lower those insulin levels are going to be.įasting has been a common practise for ages. See, insulin levels increase every time you eat, and then go down during periods of fasting. The way to break the cycle is to bring insulin levels down. You need even more insulin to convert food to glycogen. The normal insulin amounts then no longer cause the desired effect. Consistently high insulin levels causes the body to become insulin resistant. Obese people have higher baseline insulin levels. It’s been demonstrated that by injecting insulin in rats, they can be made to gain weight, fast. It’s not the calories that cause weight gain. But, none of those diets work in the long run. People have been advertising, “move more, eat less” philosophy for a while. You might have seen this in action, when you travel, end up eating a lot, gain some extra pounds, but when you’re back at home, that extra weight is lost quickly. It’s set to some number, but tends to increase over time.Īny short term diet would show some initial weight loss, but over time, the weight comes back to what it was set to. I skipped over most of the parts which showcase why other diets don’t work. Here’re my summary of the book, the parts I remembered. CashApp gives you a free Visa debit card, so you can use it anywhere.
To incentivize myself, every hour I fast I give myself $1 (in CashApp), which I can then use to purchase whatever. I like this fasting schedule because it allows me to eat during my work hours, where I feel like munching, drinking chai, etc. Typically, people start their fasts post dinner and skip breakfast.
Since reading the book, I’ve been following an 18:6 fasting, where I eat between 9a-3p and fast all other hours, every day. I read The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung.
