You again! Hi samdgood
Think we are on the same 'wave' as I too have just returned from 3 weeks of holiday and tho I did not keep to my usual Fast window, I found I preferred to eat a lot less. Too much food! yer right. I looked at the break philosophically as I knew A. I had plateaued and B. was going to shake my system up a bit as I was going to get that lobster roll and have a gorgeous B&B type breakfast whenever the food cropped up. Think I only put on 2.3 lbs so I am looking forward to tomoro & a renewed life-style of giving my system a break. Turns out our fasting may well keep us a bit healthier too:
Here's why I say this ... the news about Dr Ohsumi winning the 2016 Nobel prize for his work on autophagy?
I quote from Medicine Nobel for cell recycling work - BBC News
|
The 2016 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine goes to Yoshinori Ohsumi of Japan for discoveries about the secrets of how cells can remain healthy by recycling waste.
He located genes that regulate the cellular "self eating" process known as autophagy.
Dr Ohsumi's work is important because it helps explain what goes wrong in a range of illnesses, from cancer to Parkinson's.
The body destroying its own cells may not sound like a good thing. But autophagy is a natural defence that our bodies use to survive.
It allows the body to cope with starvation and fight off invading bacteria and viruses, for example.
And it clears away old junk to make way for new cells.
Failure of autophagy is linked with many diseases of old age, including dementia.
Research is now ongoing to develop drugs that can target autophagy in various diseases, including cancer.
All the best!

my window is 11am to 4pm but since I only eat one meal per day I eat that meal usually between 11am and 1pm. if I'm at home I will usually eat about 11am but if I'm having lunch with my son or friend I will eat about 12 or 12:30pm. I realized I was a die hard fast fiver when I went on vacation with my son a while back. he and I ate breakfast lunch and dinner and after two days I had to say "STOP"! I can't do this... it's just too much food lol.
my son is very supportive. I love that he will call and ask if my window is closed before he invites my over to eat with him. I really appreciate that.
