    • And then in your 60s, you'll see a decline in your immune system, carbohydrate metabolism, kidney function, quite a few changes, and many of these are very health-related. So are these cellular changes behind the health issues that we tend to see in older people?

    • We know that already, but I think ours shows us at a molecular level, and then we find additional changes as well, shifts in carbohydrate metabolism, like I say, kidney function, things that you really should pay attention to as you reach these ages. Did the study find any differences in aging based on gender?

    Why women should FAST differently than men… | Exercise & Nutrition Scientist Dr Stacy Sims

    07:57Why women should FAST differently than men… | Exercise & Nutrition Scientist Dr Stacy Sims
    • But for women, we look at the data and if we were to do a warrior fast, which is a 20 hour fast, four hour eating window for men, we see more parasympathetic drive. So they get that more focus. They have better blood glucose control. They get an acceleration of body fat loss. They become more metabolically flexible, meaning their body's able to transfer between carbohydrate and fat utilization for women doesn't happen that way for women who do a warrior fast. So that's 20 hour fasting and four hour eating window. They end up with less blood sugar control. We have higher resting blood glucose. We have more fat storage. We have more sympathetic drives. That means the body's under stress and you're not going to be able to sleep or recover well.

    • And that makes you crave it. If you have a lot of fiber, it acts almost sort of like an antidote to that carbohydrate because you're slowing down that release. What foods are high in fiber?

      And that makes you crave it. If you have a lot of fiber, it acts almost sort of like an antidote to that carbohydrate because you're slowing down that release. What foods are high in fiber?

    • Well, mostly unprocessed foods. So things like beans. And if you're having, if you're eating whole grains, for example, compared to others, then it's going to have a reduction in the speed of absorption. So it's, again, not about the calories necessarily or even necessarily about the carbohydrates because you're still eating the same amount of carbohydrate, but you're slowing down the speed at which is absorbed, which is going to change the instructions that you give your body. If you have a massive spike in glucose, you get this massive dopamine surge, right? And your body's like, you'll love it. Then the next time you're like, okay, give me that refined carbohydrate. What about protein? Because we, we tend to think of protein as something that, you know, is super great for weight loss. Yeah. Protein is probably a sort of inter, it's not bad. I mean, the main thing is cutting down the carbohydrates, but, you know, in the obesity code, I really talk about cutting the processing down because proteins usually don't come as pure protein, right? In nature, you never find like, you know, how you have like whey powder protein or whatever you get. The only way you can do that is by processing the heck out of food to get some kind of pure protein. It doesn't exist in nature. Like it almost doesn't exist. And maybe there's a few examples, but when you eat meat, you think, okay, there's a lot of protein, but that's actually a lot of fat in there too, right? If you eat anything else that has protein, it's rarely all protein, you know, very lean meats like chicken breast and stuff are going to be higher in protein, but there's still a lot of other stuff in there. And it's very rare that somebody will eat just all pure a hundred percent protein. It tends to be hard to eat. Like the fat brings a lot of flavor and so on. So it's a bit of an unnatural way to eat. Sure. If you, if you're to eat a lot of protein, it does spike insulin. So it does have some effect to gain weight, but it's actually a very inefficient macronutrient. That is your, there's three macronutrients.

    • The problem with the subjects in the Minnesota Starvation Experiment was that they were eating just enough to keep them out of ketosis and keep their metabolism primed for burning carbohydrate, glucose, so they couldn't use their body fat for energy.
