The common thread between doing the diet and fasting is that you’re lowering glucose and insulin. This can help provide many different amazing benefits.
Potential benefits of lowering insulin and glucose:
• Weight loss
• Regulated blood sugar levels
• Better mood
• Improved cognitive function
• Decreased inflammation
• Fewer cravings
There are unique additional benefits that can occur with fasting, including:
1. An epigenetic effect (turn off bad genes and turn on good genes)
2. Autophagy (recycle dead cells and damaged proteins)
3. Turn on genes (DNA repair, adapt to stress)
4. Increased antioxidant network
5. Decreased inflammation
6. Decreased risk of cancer
7. Increased growth hormone (anti-aging, fat-burning, and loss of muscle prevention)
8. Increased stem cells (vital for your immune system)
9. Gut microbe diversity
10. Migration motor complex
Intermittent fasting can decrease your appetite even more than if you were to do keto alone. I believe the combination of keto and intermittent fasting is essential because the higher amount of carbs you would eat if you only did fasting could prevent some of the effects of fasting. But, if you were to do keto without intermittent fasting, you wouldn’t get the effects of fasting.
By doing keto and intermittent fasting together, you could potentially:
• Look younger
• Get thinner
• Be happier
• Get smarter
• Have fewer diseases
