Intermittent Fasting & Hunger What the Science says This is the…

- - - - Ghrelin hormone makes you want to eat more salt
        
        Salt
        
        Key component in cell-to-cell communication
        
        Optimal transmission of nerve impulses to and from organs like heart and brain
        
        3g-6g salt per day was associated with a lower risk of death and cardiovascular events
        
        Helps heart to pump blood properly
        
        Low salt
        
        Stunts growth
        
        Increases insulin resistance(diabetes)
        
        Increases uric acid levels
        
        Stimulates oxidative stress in the mitocondria
        
        Weight gain
      - Insulin retains sodium, so lowering insulin leads your kidneys secrete more sodium
      - Glucagon suppresses hunger, burns stored energy(glycogen and fat). :+1:
        
        Burning fat enters the body into ketosis :+1:
        
        Brain derives 2/3rds of its energy from ketones.
        
        Ketones like BHB also reduce appetite :+1:
        So if you start ketogenic diet, it will be much more easy to fast.
  - - - Insulin makes cells utilize carbs for energy
      - Lots of insulin makes body store carbs as glycogen (lots of glocose)
        
        Glycogen is stored in liver or muscle
        
        Too much glycogen? :arrow_right: Fat!
      - Insulin increases appetite :arrow_up:
      - After 4-6 hours
        
        Insulin and glucose in the blood descreases :arrow_down:
        
        Glucagon increases :arrow_up:
      - Leptin signaling is reduced :arrow_down:
- - - - "Over 3 days of fasting, ghrelin gradually DECREASED. This means that patients were far LESS hungry despite not having eaten for the past 3 days."
        
        Your body adepts to regular eating schedule. It knows when you usually eat, so it comes to expect food and make you hungry around that same time, each day.
