I have a coworker we kind of make fun of in a good natured way as he is committed to health and loves to teach his ideas.
He is not obnoxious, a zealot or anything like that, its just that he is so committed, passionate and steady in his beliefs that its both a pleasure to see and makes you kind of wonder when he goes home does he don orange shaolin monk robes and do tai chi with incense and the sound of waterfalls.
Anyway I was looking forward to his class and learned a lot.
I have been doing the Keto thing for longer than a year now. Not crazy keto....I dont measure shit, check ratios nor piss on keto stix.
I do avoid carbs and sugars to the greatest extent possible. Most of what I eat comes from the meat case, produce section or dairy aisle. Outside that its nuts or oils.
I started fasting Mondays and Thursdays about three weeks ago. I eat breakfast in the morning than dont eat until next days breakfast. That breakfast is pretty fat and oil laden - it holds me through most of the day and I really only experience "back ground hunger" with no weakness through out the day, workouts have not been adversely effected.
I knew fasting/autophagy was going to be a topic in my coworkers class from another coworker reporting on what was in the class.
Autophagy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autophagy
The mechanism makes sense to me and I think there will be benefits.
Im not trying to lose weight, I think Im at a fine weight now, its a "making the machine run better" endeavor.
In addition to autophagy the instructor expounded on the benefits of
Apple Cider Vinegar
Broccoli Sprouts
Turmeric
Dangers of Glyphosate and how its getting into our food chain
Planning on adopting the top three in my diet (easy and cheap) while I now wont disdain the label "Organic" on food packaging anymore (expensive).
Looking for comments knowledge if anyone is familiar with this stuff and I have a question about my adopting these beliefs......
Does this make me like "Hipster"? Should I buy Birkenstocks and fashion a man bun hairstyle? Could this be a sign of "gheyness"?
