NOTE

The Primal Energy System and Feast-Famine Cycling

Our primal ancestors lived a feast-famine lifestyle, relying on their ketogenic energy system to survive in the absence of food. They would switch to this system when they had to go far to find food, enhancing their mental focus, calmness, and muscular energy. They would feast when they made a kill and then go out again when the food was gone. This feast-famine cycling is how humans were meant to live. By mimicking our primal ancestors and incorporating fasting and eating the right foods, we can optimize our performance and support hormonal balance. Exercising in a fasted state can help burn stored glucose and release ketones, aiding in weight loss. Following up with protein after exercise can stimulate muscle growth. This hack has proven effective for many people.
