I read the articles on Intermittent Fasting but didn't see anything about whether or not IF might be good for the sole purpose of promoting autophogy (cell regeneration), especially if one has a chronic 'mystery illness' they are trying to figure out (like me!) I put autophogy in the search engine and nothing came up. Any thoughts on this? I've been trying to fast at least 12 hours but it's challenging given I'm typically not home from my evening workout (which I go to directly from work) till like 8-9pm so am literally eating dinner 9:30-10pm. Really not good for the body I know!
I've thought of getting all my calories at breakfast and lunch, but worry about any negative effects of not fueling my muscles after a workout. Is that a myth that we need to eat after a workout, especially if you've lifted weights? Or, given I've been eating WFPB for b-fast and lunch, will there still be enough food in the system for the body to draw from after the workout?
