[QUOTE="Kailee56, post: 1725091, member: 437516"] A bit late, but you want to avoid carbs and protein for autophagy to kick in. Cream is iffy since it has some protein and they know that it doesn’t take much protein to stop autophagy. You can add a bit of ghee, coconut oil, or MCT oil to the coffe. Not the same as cream, but the additional fat can help curb the urge to eat and give a bit more energy in the first day or so. I have been known to use MCT oil powder for an energy kick. No protein, but 1 fiber carb. It acts more like cream than the others. Someone mentioned the increased blood glucose with fasting. I read somewhere that mTOR looks at ingested nutrients. The glucose released by your liver does not effect it, therefore it does not stop autophagy. I will try to find the article and post it. ADDENDUM: When in doubt, check out Dr Fung. - If you are only fasting for a few days to increase autophagy, the addition of oils should not matter. - The same goes for naturally released glucose vs ingested. If, however, you are planning a longer fast, AMPK looks at cellular energy and will not kick in to help with autophagy if you consume any energy producing products. By the time it kicks in, there should not be stored glycogen available for release as glucose, so blood glucose levels should not be elevated. It normally takes weeks to kick in. Scroll down to the caveman pix and start reading from just above it. [URL]https://idmprogram.com/longevity-mtor-autophagy-3/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
