“You’re doing what!?!?”
Many healthcare providers in the United States have a negative view of fasting. This is, in part, due to inadequate nutrition and dietary education in medical schools, and also, in part, due to the 20th century view that fasting and autophagy are processes harmful to the body. In fact, many practicing healthcare providers are unfamiliar with the metabolic processes of autophagy or even the word autophagy.
The term “fasting” means consuming no nutrients that trigger insulin spikes. This is often referred to as “water fasting” or “water/coffee/tea fasting”, but here is the primary rule with FOY Fasting → NO protein, NO carbs, NO sugars, and NO sweeteners can touch the tongue or enter the digestive system during Fasting Mode.
A basic tenet of FOY Fasting is that the human body operates in two states: Feeding Mode or Fasting Mode. In fact, most organisms on Earth exist by alternating their cellular metabolism between these two states. Our program teaches you to understand the difference and why it is so important in order to manage insulin resistance and maintain good health.
Why is it important to have NO nutrients at all? It is important to consume no nutrients that trigger the release of insulin. Insulin signals to every cell in your body “Feeding Mode Time!”, which inhibits the goals of fasting and prevents chaperone-mediated autophagy! (The processes of ketosis and CMA are significantly inhibited during Feeding Mode.)
By analyzing your personal information, our experts will help you achieve your goals on YOUR schedule. FOY Fasting does not dictate specific timeframes and each client performs at their own pace. The FOY EF Program is truly an individualized program developed around your life.
If you are interested in the health and longevity benefits of extended fasting (such as those provided by chaperone-mediated autophagy) or simply the weight-loss benefits, then apply for the program NOW.
“When you understand that all organisms on Earth have evolved with a biological self-repair mechanism, then it only makes sense to take advantage of the process.”
For best results...
Your FOY EF Program is created around YOU to fit your goals, your challenges, and your life.
FOY Fasting focuses on extended fasting, which we deem as beyond 48 hours. To develop your PERSONALIZED fasting program, FOY Fasting consultants analyze multiple factors such as your health status, your lifestyle, your blood measurements, and your health and weight loss goals. It is okay if you have never gone 24 hours without eating, but you will quickly progress to 48 hour fasts and beyond.
With continuous monitoring and adjustments to your Program, our experts will help you achieve your goals on YOUR schedule.
