Metabolic Flexibility Tip
- Restrict your eating window to 6-8 hours to achieve metabolic flexibility.
- Measure blood ketone levels (0.3-0.5 mmol/L) to confirm flexibility.
Partial Fasting Protocol
- Consume a small, low-carb, moderate-protein meal (300-500 calories) to activate autophagy.
- Focus on proteins with low branched-chain amino acids, like collagen or bone broth.
Growth Hormone and Fasting
