Also: Sleep 8 hours, on schedule, in a fully dark, cool room. I am still unsure on fasting.

Unsure about its effectiveness? Check out Jason Fung’s Complete Guide to Intermittent Fasting. He’s a nephrologist that has put together a very well researched and footnoted book.

  Looks like people are recommending his other book - something, something Obesity and say the one you recommended is just marketing material for some fitness coach, which I am inclined to believe. Any sources on fasting causing autophagy in excess of what working out gets you?

    The Obesity Code is a good primer on weight loss being a hormonal imbalance rather than caloric imbalance, the things that cause this imbalance and how to resolve it. Fasting is a chapter that he expands upon in The Complete Guide to Intermittent Fasting ("CGIF") My first reaction to your statement about it being "just marketing material for some fitness coach" was "that's absurd" but then as I reflected a bit more I can see how some people may have taken it to be him trying to pitch his clinic in Toronto, but I don't think this is the right interpretation. He is a practicing nephrologist who refers in his book (like many books written by doctors) to many case studies. I didn't at any point think "Gee, I should fly to Toronto and get into this program" but rather thought the case studies lent some context to his claims. I suggest reading the book and forming your own opinion. I was fasting before I read the book, but the book helped me understand some of the science, pitfalls, and protocols.

I try to get 8 hours. Challenging. My autonomic nervous system is still in repair after damage to my gut 4 years ago. I am still slowly removing and repairing scar tissue. The gut and the vagus nerve have extensive complex interaction. Repair is slow but I am slowly getting there. Yes, I do intermittent-intermittent fasting. If I do IF every day, it spikes too much HGH and I go too far into Ketosis. That puts a heavy load on the kidneys. It took me a long time to get out of shape and I am taking it very slowly back to a nominal state.
