#259: Fasting Series – Energy Toxicity, Personal Fat Threshold, Oxidative Priority and Data-Driven Fasting with Marty Kendall
"Energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods with low protein, low fiber, minimal micronutrients, AND lots of fat and carbs at the same time magically fill our glucose fuel tank and our fat fuel tank in our body. We love them, and food manufacturers love selling them because they're so cheap and easy to sell, and we keep eating them. Then we get to that point where we've got too much energy stored in our body, energy toxicity, and then insulin has to keep ramping up to hold all that energy in storage." –Marty Kendall
In this episode in the fasting series on Veggie Doctor Radio, I delve into some fascinating but invaluable concepts about nutrition with engineer Marty Kendall and his take on how to develop a fasting protocol that best serves your metabolism and your health. This is an information-packed episode, so you may want to take notes!
Dr. Yami’s Episode Takeaways:
Fasting has value, but WHAT you eat when not fasting is very important!
For metabolic health, eat more Whole Foods and less processed and ultra-processed foods, especially those that are fat/carb combos.
There are individual differences in fat storage, and this will determine when you show signs of energy toxicity
There are no free foods with calories that don’t count, but eating more low-calorie density and high-nutrient-dense foods comes close.
