FASTING is EASY people! HOW? Well we do NOT eat while we sleep! Another reality is that our liver holds about 400 calories of glycogen. What is glycogen? The body breaks down most carbs from the foods we eat and converts them to a type of sugar called glucose. When the body doesn’t need to use the glucose for energy, it stores it in the liver and muscles. Basically this stored form of glucose is called glycogen. Our skeletal muscle stores between 1400 and 2000 calories worth of glycogen. A FEW Pesto Presto KIDNEY FRIENDLY recipes KETO KABOB very simple Repair Kidney Damage EASY Presto Pasta Salad
IF or intermittent fasting helps us get into KETOSIS. DAILY FASTING gives your organs a break. With less to process, your body will burn fat for fuel rather than glycogen. LIST OF FOODS for folks with kidney damage: BROKEN DOWN as a STOP LIGHT. GREEN FOODS = One Meal A Day (OMAD) load up. YELLOW FOODS = Enjoy 2 x a week. RED FOODS = ELIMINATE COMPLETELY! The Mayo Clinic RENAL DIET includes tomatoes, lettuce? The point is to limit sodium, salt and phosphorus.
GREEN = Onion, asparagus, zucchini, pineapple, mango, yellow or green bell peppers, butter, cream cheese, rice milk, oregano, basil, garlic, thyme, cumin, Tilapia, chicken without skin, cauliflower pasta, cauliflower, corn tortilla (1 per week, each small Mexican corn tortilla is 50 carbs)
YELLOW = raspberries, green or yellow cherry tomatoes, carrot, sweet potato, lean beef, lean pork, avocado, heavy cream, walnut, almonds, mushrooms, mayonnaise, popcorn without salt.
RED = ELIMINATE. Yogurt, spinach, tuna, bacon, whole wheat bread, brown rice, banana, melon, kiwi, strawberries, nuts, ketchup, egg yolk, papaya, peaches, shellfish, shrimp, lettuce, red tomato.
With less food to process, the body uses up stored glycogen for energy. As we consume a low carb, low sugar, moderate diet of protein, in about 3 days, most bodies arrive at the first stage of KETOSIS. With IF, we FAST from all FOOD from 6 or 7PM. Wait until 11 AM or NOON the next day to eat the ONE planned MEAL FOR THE DAY. Drink a tall glass of water before eating and your satisfaction will arrive with less intake. Lying down after a meal causes acid reflux so do not eat before bedtime. It is FUN to BLAST through any plateau with a 16 hour fast. NO FOOD AFTER 5 PM – sleep, wake, enjoy a cup of coffee or green tea in the morning. NOTICE that you were NOT hungry after a few days of fasting. EASY PEASY! Fast from 6 pm to 12 noon equals 18 hours of fasting!!! The 18 hour FAST is SAFE as it gives your body and organs a REST from working overtime to process all you stuff into your gut. Safely DENY your flesh, and train it to be satisfied with ONE MEAL A DAY! ENJOY your journey and ROCK your WORLD with a total Brain Sweep

Repressed thoughts cause us to react with fear and anxiety. God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a powerful spirit to overcome. “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7 By faith, and through His power in us, we can discipline and redirect our thoughts. Our Father tells us to capture every thought. “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 strongly commands us to take our thoughts by force and make them obey God’s Word.

He is a Nephrologist that has written a book on how to manage your Type 1 Diabetes which Dr Runyan has. Dr Runyan posted his diet on a recent blog post. “The foods in my diet currently include bacon, eggs, salmon, cheddar cheese, broccoli, unsweetened tea, and a dessert made with cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, coconut oil, unsweetened baker’s chocolate, allulose, chopped macadamia nuts and sunflower seeds, and water to adjust the consistency. The choice of these foods and the amounts I eat result in obtaining close to 100% of the RDA of 40 vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. I do supplement with Morton Lite Salt added to my bacon and eggs for its sodium and potassium content and take magnesium chloride (300 mg/day) added to water. I also supplement with creatine monohydrate (1 gram/day), vitamin C (180 mg/day), and vitamin D (5,000 IU 3x/week). My meals are eaten at 7 am, 12:15 pm, 5:30 pm, and 10:45 pm, or as close to those times as possible. Each meal contains ≈0.4 grams/kg body weight of protein to help retain my muscle mass. ” His BLOG: https://ketogenicdiabeticathlete.wordpress.com/

Follow Dr. Berg on Youtube. Meat does not ROT in our colon. High fiber, or grains gets stuck in our large intestine and it gets broken down bacteria. It is putrid and it smells like bad broccoli in the veggie drawer. That is what happens in our large colon when we eat lots of fiber. Stinky bowel movements come from Plant Based people. Meat breaks down immediately in small intestine. People who have had slices of their colons removed report that the only things that dump into the colon bag is corn, grains, never meat. Our body tells us when we are hungry, when we are thirsty. When we are satiated – our HUNGER hormones register full. Can you deny your flesh for 16 hours a day to FEEL awesome? It is a matter of setting your mind right.
