I don't understand the purpose of this "study" in the sense that if you practice some forms of water fasting whether for multiple days or practice eating only one meal per day OR a short 6 hour feeding window per day... you will know the role potassium plays in your body. You need water, salt, potatassium and magnesiums. If you're eating healthy whole foods your liver should have enough nutrients stored away. So basically your body is designed to go between feasting and fasting - to produce and burn ketones from your fat stores versus burning food you consume. The belief that you need to eat 3 meals a day or or snack small meals all day long (constantly producing insulin) is just nonsense. It is not that hard to supplement salt, potassium and magnesium and not eat for a day or more it is actually extremely benefifical for long term health to fast for about 3 days or more once or twice a year. Look up the fat lies by pradip jamnadas on Youtube.

Yeah just this week I've been eating only once per day in the morning. Plus a small protein shake if I got really hungry later. But the key is to get plenty of magnesium and potassium. If you fast (no carbs specifically) and don't supplement with electrolytes you can go from feeling fine to suddenly feeling like you just need to lay down and have no energy. It's kind of scary

  Yes - Honestly i think most people on any given day have no idea what it's like to go 24 hours with zero carbs or zero calories, most are just not aware of this whole paradigm. It's the complete opposite to the last 50+ years of official guidelines. The keto diet, avoiding ALL manufactured vegetable seed oils (canola, cottonseed etc) ,rejecting ancel keys and the last 50+ years of completely horrible dietary guidelines and toxic food pyramids, fasting for autophagy, growth hormone, and restoring insulin sensitivity. Most cancers and diseases find their origin in high processed carbohydrate + seed oil diets, constantly triggered high insulin of the modern day. calories in/out is nonsense. So yea, no thanks on the Eat Potatos study lol
