Good morning, like you, I survived a hear attack + cardiac arrest at a young age (41). Also, like you, I wrote about my experience for awhile. My intent was to raise awareness and help others. I don't think many people ever found my blog (www.heartgeek.com), but I found writing about the experience to be very therapeutic. 15-years later, I am still very active and healthy but I do find my attention to diet has slipped. I just found your newsletter and look forward to learning more about your experience and the benefits of fasting. It appears that we may also be neighbors! Keep up the great work and stay healthy.
Good explanation of the metabolic mechanisms of fasting. Really love your graphs. Nice charting of the hand-off of glucose provision from food to glycogenolysis to gluconeogenesis. Also, your graph shows that protein utilization is very flat during fasting - no increase. This is important because so many people fixate on concerns about muscle loss with fasting. Do you have a source for these figures or did you compile them yourself?
Finally I appreciate your statement about the difficulty of fasting for more than three days. I have found I can often get to three days but my record is only 4 and half days, and that last day and half achieved only with great effort.
Mostly we do things without knowing the reason like fasting.By reading this article now. we are sure why we need to do fasting.Thanks to my brother. who is trying to educate the unknown facts of health.
Very interesting. I look forward to reading how this has helped you as well.

The word fasting will stimulate hunger in me , but no food for cancer or pre cancerous cells that is a good idea.
Very informative and well-written!
Such a detailed analysis - gonna start with once a day low calorie count for healthy living!
