The week before last Ellen and I did a 5-day autophagy diet. We began on Sunday afternoon and ended with breakfast the following Saturday. For those five and a half days we ate no protein, no carbs or sugars, and very little fat. The idea is to eat just fiber with a little […]
Generally, the best advice for health-minded individuals is to engage in a lifestyle that supports their health goals over the long run. But sometimes there is a desire for the ever-loved quick fix.
