[QUOTE="Kailee56, post: 2035388, member: 437516"] Nutrients, especially glucose, feed the cancerous as well as the healthy cells. There is no discrimination as to which cells have access. Fasting is a way to limit which nutrients are available. - 1st, look up Valter Longo’s Fasting Mimicing Diet, a way to try for the physiological effects of fasting without actually fasting, and the research around it. - Much research has shown that many cancers require glucose, the basis of PET scans used for detection and diagnosis, and are not flexible enough to survive in a Ketogenic environment. Fasting amplifies ketosis. - Fasting helps stimulate autophagy, where your body breaks down unneeded and defective cells, like cancers, to obtain nutrients - Dry fasting, supposedly, accelerates autophagy, since defective cells are now broken down faster for their water as well as other nutrients. - Fasting has been shown to weaken cancerous cells, so they are more susceptible to lower amounts of chemo, while providing some protection to normal cells. This results in more effective chemo with fewer side effects. I fast and (imperfectly) eat LCHF for my diabetes, but also for autophagy. We are all different and must make our own choices. For me and my body, this seems to be the way. It might not be the best for you. [/QUOTE]
