This is about intermittent fasting or 5/2 diet. This blog is about me and my diet, but it also about the science behind this diet and the benefits it can bring to you. I am putting my own body through this diet because i need to as i am dangerous position and this diet can help that but also bring other benefits. I am not a medical expert any advice i offer is based on my own research, please consult your own doctor before undertaken this.

Debating 4/3
I am thinking about moving to 4/3 diet and do 2 days straight in a row, but i am already getting the benefits from the 5/2 just might help speed things up and give me real challenge 60 hours without really eating.
Update on diet
So it appears this diet is really working not just for weight lose but for improved brain activity so i am going to guess the tests done on animals for longevity of life and reduce risk of cancer will be true ass well.
So why is this diet working when in theory it should not lose weight, the reason it is working from my own experiments on my own body is when you start to fast your body has very limited supply of energy so starts to eat it own fat.
But why is it not over eating when the day after fasting your body will be need of energy, the reason i can see is because it is eating the fat reserve it is generate enough energy to go on.
But why are you not hungry, well that comes down to the fact we as human never used to eat this way i will be publishing research i have done soon.

IGF - 1 and Abdominal Fat
So what is IGF - 1 in simple terms and not the complex terms and descriptions you get on the web. What it is, is the body basically insulin which it makes to keep us going, however because this process keeps us going in what is refer to active state, the body never heals itself.
Now you will think oh but i get a cut and it heals over, or i break a bone and it heals back up, yes it does however the process is different, as the body is fixing itself when it has to, but your every day new cell growth etc starts to drop off after 25 because the body is no longer trying to grow new cells.
So what does lowering you IGF - 1 levels help do, well it has been proven in animals that it helps stimulated new brain cell growth and other body cell growth, so the body starts to repair say your heart and lungs is you damaged them in the past from say smoking, although not a 100% cure it help fix your body better than if your IGF - 1 levels are very high, which is quite common in most humans today.
So does it do anything else? Well early research suggests that IGF - 1 might be linked to cancer and other diseases of the body, because it helps speed them up, it helps the disease to grow and flourish so to say, so lowing IGF - 1 appears to lower your risk of cancer, heart disease etc.
Again i stress even after long field trials on people like me, this will not be guaranteed as the human body is very complex, but it should help you and increase your health and life expectancy to lower IGF - 1
So what is Abdominal fat? is it the fat that surrounds your organs, this type of fat is very dangerous for one it is crushing your organs, and two it can help cancer develop.
So what can i do about it, dieting and eating foods with less saturated fat in will help.
