Caloric Restriction Improves Insulin Action

It's a mouse study and mostly beyond my comprehension. The diet though was a normal mouse chow, with 57% carbs,13% fat. They just got far less of it than they wanted to eat.
 
This doesn't surprise me one little bit. I've always known that I operate better on very little food. When I do go days without lunch, my clarity of thought and (especially my) motivation are through the roof.

The problem is - when I do go without food, as soon as I eat anything, it makes me 10 times hungrier. (The flood gates are open!)

Damned insulin/insulin resistance.

I'm seriously condering intermitent fasting. Maybe just one day per week...

(Could it be to do with a "backlog" of food? ie - not digesting everything you eat on any particular day? A kind of cumulative effect? Maybe a days fasting would reduce this backlog? I'm certain T2 is more to do with the stomach/digestive system than we are told. CONSPIRACY!!! :wink: )

Hey patch, you could become multi-denominational and do Ramadan, Lent, Yom Kippur .... and then, once a year, you could do a Moses, - 40 days and nights! :lol:
 
You and me both Patch!

All eating does is make me crave more food. Hate it. I have to REALLY resist the urge and eventually it goes away but it's flippin' hard.

Patch you are a tease... more on the conspiracy please!

Curiously as I write this I am once again contemplating brekkie. As usual I have no appetite. I have not eaten for 12 hours and all I have had is tea, no food as yet. I know I should but nothing appeals. Maybe I will have some of the leftover chilli warmed up.

I bet I eat a fraction of what I used to a couple of years ago.

Is it psychological or physiological? 8)
