It’s critical to understand:
- Just like a peak week of physical training is designed to create physical load and stress, the LFD creates a state of nutritional stress and mild immune suppression. With both increased physical load and nutritional stress, it is the recovery or re-nourish period that allows the body to recover, adapt and improve. Hence the re-feed/re-nourish phase is critical to successfully locking in the LFD gains!
- All results are subject to individual variations and will depend on individual body types, blood chemistry, and current states of health. The improvements made by participants in the FMDTM were biggest in blood glucose, weight loss, blood pressure, cholesterol, IGF-1 etc for those who had the biggest gains to make.
- Participants whose health is within normal ranges still benefit from switching on the body’s cellular anti-aging ability (autophagy, apoptosis, stem cell regeneration) and improve their defense against disease.
