Good breakdown of why intermittent fast might not be good for you

Good breakdown by the brothers at the ME Diet of why intermittent fasting (IF) might not be good for you. IF works great for some people, other not. I've tried it several times now including 24 hour fast, but it was very hard never could settle into a pattern. Always massive hunger at the end.

Lymphedema is aided by systemic proteolytic enzymes

Proteolytic enzymes used systemically (taken on empty stomach) "Can effectively resolve lymphedema in upper and lower extremities because it removes fibrin and improves lymphatic flow."

Examples of proteolytic enzymes for systemic use include old-school pancreatin, serrapeptase, or nattokinase. They also destroy blood clots.

This is huge for many people with lymphedema, and really costs nothing except a few $15 bottles of serrapeptase or even cheaper pancreatin to try.


Systemic enzymes and also chelation are two of the most powerful weapons against modern diseases.

Super-fast twitch type iib muscle can have "profound effect" on metabolism and body fat

"the results from the current study indicate that modest increases in type IIb skeletal muscle mass can have a profound systemic effect on whole-body metabolism and adipose mass."

"increased type II muscle mass attenuates the pathological consequences of excess adiposity on whole-body metabolism."

"These findings indicate that type II muscle has a previously unappreciated role in regulating whole-body metabolism through its ability to alter the metabolic properties of remote tissues."

A diet you can stick to

Interesting point about: the diet you can stick to is the diet you should be doing.

It's not only true of yo-yo dieting, its also true with junk food, you know you can't keep eating it.

Mentions that the #1 factor in successful fat loss is being able to sustain it, which is not based on will power. Will power-based diets always fail.

Also good point that "eating clean" is an overused underdefined term.

Bottom line: learning how to eat healthy for you is the lifelong task, if you keep trying you will get better and better at it. It's a journey because people are extremely different in their metabolism speed and nutrient needs.
