Mind elaborating on this a bit? Do you just stop eating entirely for X days, or limit yourself to very small amounts, or what? How hard do you find it to maintain? How effective is it?
I often find abstaining from something entirely to be much easier than attempting moderation; I'm sort of wondering if this might work for me, to more reliably drop the weight I usually put on around holidays.
I do intermittent fasting by limiting my consumption of carbs and protein to a six hour window six or seven days a week. Other people might consume only water 2 or 3 days a week. A big goal of intermittent fasting is to promote autophagy.
So what do you eat what is not carbs and not protein? Steamed broccoli? Because I have recently learned even vegs like peas or carrots have carbs. This surprised me.
Bulletproof coffee=coffee+Butter from grass-fed cows+MCI oil.
Butter doesn't have protein?
According to Wikipedia it has only 1 g protein and 0 carbs for 81g of fat.
How about sauerkraut? The carbs are fermented away before you eat it. Perhaps there are similar ways to cook other veggies like that.
