Effects of Non-Nutritive Sweeteners on Fasting and Ketosis Levels
TLDR Consuming non-nutritive sweeteners during fasting may impair ketosis levels, leading to lower ketones and potentially a more challenging fasting experience. The episode discusses fasting, exogenous ketones, autophagy, and exercise for longevity, highlighting the benefits of more frequent three-day fasts over longer fasts.
Timestamped Summary
00:00
The episode discusses topics such as fasting, exogenous ketones, autophagy, and exercise for longevity.
02:30
The speaker transitioned from quarterly seven-day fasts to more frequent three-day fasts due to the intrusive nature of longer fasts and the observed metabolic benefits around day two and three.
04:46
Exercise tolerance seems higher during three-day fasts due to reduced glycogen depletion, allowing for intense workouts, and the speaker plans to conduct a blood test after a three-day fast to compare metabolic markers.
06:55
The speaker has been following a low-carb diet with minimal sugar and starch, incorporating fiber-rich foods like vegetables and fiber one cereal, which may slightly hinder ketone production, making it easier to transition in and out of a three-day fast, with plans to monitor ketone levels using various devices including a new breath acetone device.
09:09
Breath acetone testing may offer a cheaper and less invasive alternative to blood ketone testing, potentially providing a more accessible way to monitor ketosis levels, although its quantitative accuracy compared to blood testing remains to be determined.
11:07
Consuming non-nutritive sweeteners during fasting may impair ketosis levels, leading to lower ketones and potentially a more challenging fasting experience.
