Fasting Mimicking Diet Part 2

Fasting mimicking diet is trying to do is actually reproduce or recreate the ketones as well as the detoxification effect from fasting while you still can eat. Now there's different ways to actually achieve this without doing a fasting mimicking diet. And this is like called interval fasting. Interval fasting. Typically people will fast anywhere from 16 to 18 hours on a daily basis, Monday through Friday. And with this you actually get a low grade ketosis. But one thing people have to remember is that typically if your body is using sugar for energy, you burn through sugar in about four to six hours. People who are addicted to carbohydrates or just eat too many carbohydrates or snack too much, what will happen is about that four hour time frame, you get jitters, you get hangry. That's because your body is not appropriately switching from a sugar based metabolism to a glycogen or a fat based metabolism. Usually about that four to six hour mark, you start switching and using glycogen and you run through your glycogen stores roughly about 12 hours plus or minus. That's when you start to make ketones.
