“00:11:33 - How intermittent fasting confers many health benefits by physiologically stressing your metabolism and causing a switch from burning carbohydrates to fat. 00:16:14 - Comparing the differences and similarities of daily time-restricted eating with 5:2 weekly intermittent fasting.”

“The other diet mirrored the first but provided an additional 150 grams (roughly five ounces) of lean beef per day as a replacement for carbohydrates (of nearly equal caloric content). Each participant consumed the two diets for four weeks, separated by a two-week washout period.”

“The inner membrane of mitochondria possess a series of enzymes called the electron transport chain. These enzymes transfer electrons from carbohydrates and fats (as well as proteins and nucleic acids to a lesser extent) to the final enzyme in the chain that produces ATP.”

“Prior to performing the task, participants consumed a standardized carbohydrate-rich breakfast. During the task, the investigators measured the participants' behavior, brain activity, and circulating anandamide (endocannabinoid) levels.”

“Men who eat a pro-inflammatory diet – rich in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and fats – are 30 percent more likely to have low testosterone levels, a 2021 study found. Having obesity nearly doubles this risk.”

“Without enough vitamin C, carnitine synthesis may falter, reducing the transport of fatty acids for oxidation. This bottleneck could increase reliance on carbohydrate stores and contribute to fatigue during exercise.”

“The mice also shifted to using carbohydrates earlier during exercise, indicating altered fuel use. Increasing the activity of these neurons after workouts enhanced later endurance, suggesting "exercise mimetic" potential, meaning it reproduced some of the effects of exercise.”

“They also alter the microbiota, favoring butyrate-producing species. It's noteworthy that some of the studies on which these conclusions are based used processed oils and provided refined carbohydrates with the test meals, muddying the findings.”

“Dairy products comprise a wide range of foods derived from the milk of cows, sheep, goats, and others. They provide protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Full-fat dairy products are high in saturated fat.”

“New research suggests that Neu5Gc, a type of sugar, provides another possible mechanism to explain the cancer-promoting effects of diets high in red meat and dairy products. Neu5Gc is a carbohydrate produced by non-human mammals and found in red meat and dairy products.”
