Why the hell do I have the urge to eat an entire days worth of food by noon?

[LadyForCamus]

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact our DNA spent hundreds of thousands of years hunting and gathering food, which was not always available, through which the hunting body (animal or human) would have to be at peak possible performance in order to secure more food?

Eating food is like the constant burning of fuel...which builds up residue which we do not fully excrete. The mechanism of fasting is simple, natures way of cleaning residue out of the machine when it is not burning fuel + repair of parts.

I wonder if a 1250% in crease of HGH during fasting has anything to do with it?

In 1982, Kerndt et al published a study of a single patient who decided to undergo a 40 day fast for religious purposes.  They measure numerous metabolic indices over that forty days to see what happened.  There is a wealth of data here, but several notable things.  Blood pressure slightly decreased. Glucose goes down.  From 96 initially, it drops to 56.  Insulin goes way, way down.  Starting at 13.5, it quickly drops to 2.91 and stays down.  That is almost an 80% drop!

Glucagon goes from 139 to a peak of 727 or a 423% increase.

But our concern here is HGH.  It starts at 0.73 and peaks at 9.86.  That is a 1250% increase in growth hormone. Even with a relatively short 5 day fast, we are talking about 300% increase.  All this HGH increases without drugs.

Not going there. You lost me at non excreted residue, one individual makes a study and an overall flawed article.

 
Ark is now going to tell you about the giant "residue" shit he took that one time.  proof!
