I was completely against fasting until a close friend was diagnosed with cancer and through her learned a little about autophagy and Japanese cell biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi’s research.
I fasted for the first time as a 35 year old SAHM of 3 (5 and under). I thought it would be impossible to fast while handling their meal prep, knowing I unconsciously sample taste everything but I proved myself wrong.
My motivation was to reach autophagy which occurs around hour 16 of a fast then I learned that peak cell repair is at 36-72 hours. This is what helped me succeed my first 72 hour fast. Honestly, if I can do it, you can too!!
