“In the process, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are released and become available for energy and re-use. Autophagy's overarching goal is to maintain cellular homeostasis in the face of changing conditions and stress.”

“At lower exercise intensity, the body relies primarily on fat oxidation; at higher intensity, the body shifts more toward carbohydrate oxidation. During endurance training, the body's carbohydrate stores can deplete, causing fatigue and impairing athletic performance.”

“This shrinking and re-expanding effect does not occur with caloric restriction or shorter duration fasts. During shorter fasts, the body does not break down cellular components because digestion is still ongoing and glycogen (a storage form of carbohydrate) is still available.”

“Dr. D'Agostino asserts that a low carbohydrate diet incorporating intermittent fasting probably has more benefits than chronic ketosis for most healthy adults. Drs. D'Agostino and Patrick describe their experiences with fasting or time-restricted eating and its calming effects on the brain.”

“These products are often easy to eat quickly and combine refined carbohydrates, added fats, and low fiber in forms that can weaken normal satiety cues. Dr. Patrick and Dr. Hyman also discuss protein leverage as one possible explanation for continued eating when a diet supplies a lower proportion of protein.”

“Subsequently, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are released for energy and re-use. The process of autophagy is activated by cellular stressors such as nutrient depletion, hypoxia, and the presence of toxins.”

“Individuals on a ketogenic or a calorie-restricted diet may offset the lack of carbohydrates or calories by increasing their protein intake due to its satiating quality. However, increased dietary protein may elevate the risk of certain diseases such as cancer via increases in IGF-1 signaling.”

“These results support repeat ApoB and lipid testing after a diet change, because baseline phenotype, saturated-fat dose, carbohydrate quality, weight change, and medication can all affect the response.”

“Increased consumption of dietary fiber, such as vegetables and fruits was associated with decreased risk, suggesting that dietary interventions could serve as treatments for depression.”

“Commonly referred to as the "carbohydrate-insulin" model of obesity, this new paradigm reverses causation and provides a starting point for developing testable hypotheses. The concepts presented in this report suggest that what a person eats, rather than how much, plays key roles in body weight management.”
