Fasting and Amino Acids

When we fast on a low-carb diet, our body is using fat stores for energy and we lose body fat. Fasting on a ketogenic diet has more benefits - since our body is depleted from glycogen, we use fat and ketones for energy instead of glucose.

These are things you can also do:

• Skipped meals. This is when you skip over a meal to induce extra time of fasting. Usually people choose breakfast, but others prefer to skip lunch.
• Eating windows. Usually this condenses your entire macronutrient intake between a 4 and 7 hour window. The rest of the time you are in a fasting state.
• 24-48 hour cleanse. This is where you go into extended fasting periods, and do not eat for 1-2 days.

One of the main things that our family consumes daily is MyAMINO. (The Human Amino Acid Profile is the only protein formula created according to the specific human amino acid pattern. It has the highest net amino acid value (NAV) in the world and therefore puts the lowest amount of strain on the excretory organs). These aminos help keep us in Ketosis. They are the purest form of aminos.
