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.

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.
