For this moment, I am 74 years old, and since 37 years every morning I take spirulina. I started with 1 gram and today I take 10 gram to 15 gram. Strange enough I was never sick and for my age I have a strong muscle structure. Do you recognize this?

Hello Ian,

When you exercise on a fast, you increase your blood sugar and reduce ketones, but the adaptation that takes place does increase autophagy. In general, we recommend doing fasted exercise on an intermittent fasting plan but if you are doing an extended fast, you wouldn’t want to do any sort of intense exercise while fasting, particularly if you are normal or underweight already. For those who are overweight, in some circumstances, doing exercise while on an extended fast can help them get further benefits, but that is very individualized.

Whenever I fast, and I fast often, if I exercise the level of Ketosis decreases and decreases in line with Intensity and length of the exercise. It will take some time a) for the Ketosis to decrease but, dependant on the level of Ketosis at the start of the exercise and b), the Ketosis will return to former levels of Ketosis. I have assumed that as Ketosis goes down so does Autophagy , Stem Cell and HGH productions. It should be noted that it is perfectly possible come out of Ketosis completely as a result of exercise.

You do not mention that Ketosis and therefore Autophagy continue to be unregulated for considerable periods of time provided you do not exercise and follow a reasonable regime of eating. To give some numbers a 7 day Fast can lead to having 10+ days of Ketosis so this may give longer Autophagy up-regulation.

Of course in the above explanation I am assuming that there is a continuous link between Autophagy and Ketosis. I have not addressed the issue of what happens to the generally agreed down-regulation of Autophagy after 7 -14 days of the commencement of the up-regulation of Autophagy. All would be revealed if we could but measure Autophagy.

Can you give us information on how the body detoxes the dead cells from autophagy and fasting? What can you expect to experience with the detox following a 5 day water fast?

My friend first told me about autophagy, I recently went on a fast & colon cleanse, lost 10kgs easily, I think I’m at my normal weight for my height now, feels good.
I have a couple of tumours I wanted to starve, the main one has shrunk, so I can easily do a 1 day water fast each week, my aim is to get rid of tumour permanently.
I’m following a Ketogenic diet, but haven’t been too strict, it’s a work in progress 😁
