KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition.
I made it through 48 hours but started feeling weak today 😅 Lost 0.5kg day 1, another 0.2kg day 2. Today eggs for breakfast, chicken for lunch and dinner, possibly a full reversal on the scale tomorrow ;) I like @Smont ’s idea of sugar fasting 1 or 2 days a week. Altogether though, I did...- 1HP

I made it through my first full sugar fast day yesterday, lost 0.5 kg (weight didn’t budge on 12 days of sugar dieting). Well being continuous to increase, HRV keeps going up, RHR keeps going down with an absolute low (for me) of 49 this morning (!). Interesting recent study, perhaps partially... -

Your first full sugar fast day? I’ve tried but just getting too damn hungry in the evening 😅 -

I buy kilogram bags of frozen blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, raspberries, mango, kiwi and blend all of them together with some fresh bananas and an apple in a big morning smoothie. It’s quite affordable, much cheaper than an egg based breakfast. Additionally combining as many colours of...- 1HP

KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition.
I’ve been experimenting with adding in differing types and quantities of protein. In this heightened energised state it’s actually very noticeable (for me). Some examples: 1 scoop of whey (23g P): drop in energy level, sluggish feeling, starts about 30 minutes after intake, duration about 1...- 1HP

For me it’s not only noticeable but also measurable in health markers / stress levels: Averaged over a week: First: 50/50 fruits/starches - 2167/226C/174P/63F Second: only fruits/haribo - 2285/321C/172P/34F Blood pressure: 125/83 -> 119/77 Resting Heart Rate: 64 -> 56 HRV: 7.4 -> 8.0 rMSSD...- 1HP

KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition.
For me this diet has been a revelation in getting to understand my digestive’s system relationship with general quality of life, feel, stress and performance. As I’m discovering my system struggles with a lot of foods I had no idea of it did. Eagerly following!- 1HP

7 days on the “sugar diet”. My weight doesn’t move, at all. It’s been 99.7 on all 7 days. It’s important to note that I did already lose 2.4kg, 5.3 lbs, prior to starting the sugar diet, by replacing 50% of my carbohydrates (rice/potatoes/grains etc) with fruits. Hence it may not come as a... -

Is it possible to roughly estimate total weight lost and average calorie deficit since the start? I know you’re just experimenting a bit and are sugar fasting intermittently but it would be useful data. Thanks! 🙏🏾 -

Straight up gummy bears would follow closely to what’s claimed to work best, and I am indeed doing that right now. But I’m not convinced this is actually the best way. I did have very good results with my previous diet just replacing roughly half of my carbohydrate intake with fruit based... -

Something works for sure. It’s something in fruits, it has to be, but is it fructose, or megadosing plyohenols / natural occuring vitamins/minerals? For me mandatory supplements are salt, choline and candy/sugars, I’m feeling and am performing great on about a 2/3 fruits 1/3 sugar mix. W/o... -

I have reservations on the claimed moa. Let me explain why: I never heard about this “sugar diet” till last week. But I started a high fruit intake “diet” on the 26th of May. This involved keeping my caloric intake the same as before, at my maintenance, but replacing 50% of my carbohydrate... -

IGF-1 is a hormone produced primarily in the liver in response to HGH stimulation. It's considered the key mediator of HGH's anabolic (growth-promoting) effects. Amino acids, the building blocks of protein, are crucial for IGF-1 production. This, to me, makes sense, and part of our design... -

This is about as in depth as you need: https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/20/19/4692 A few snippets: In humans, no induction was seen up to 72 h of fasting [62]. The induction of FGF21 by fasting is only detectable after 7 to 10 days of nutrient deprivation and correlates with weight loss and the... -

I’m thinking of jumping in tomorrow :cool: Some other supplements to consider: betaine supplementation robustly increased hepatic and circulating fibroblast growth factor (Fgf)21 levels It has been described that butyrate and α-lipoic acid also regulate the levels of FGF21 in the liver... -

Native FGF21: The wild-type protein has a half-life of approximately 0.5-2 hours. Factors Affecting Half-life: The short half-life of native FGF21 is influenced by its susceptibility to proteolytic degradation and rapid renal clearance. FGF21 Analogs: To overcome this limitation... -

Cardio on sugar fast days only, no cardio on lifting days? Supplements: MPS boosting supps like DL-185 on lifting days. Fat oxidation promoting supplements beneficial only on fast days, wouldn’t know which qualify for that exclusively. -

So how could we actually benefit, for fun hypothesis, how off do you reckon this is: 1) the ingestion of 100 g protein results in a greater and more prolonged (>12 h) anabolic response when compared to the ingestion of 25 g protein. 2) during this ~12 hour period, would it be a correct...
