Fasting ⇒ Fasting with moderate protein, 7 days

[jessicaP]

So how would other folks here design a good (safe) 7 day fast that produces rapamycin?

Looking for input.

Hi Jessica
Sorry to be replying so late. This topic also interests me.

As Fred (A swedish dietician formerly part of the forum... really knew his stuff) recommended, you can generate rapamycin in your body with sa 5 day fast of 750 calories per day, and up to 5-6 times per year. He also mentioned to keep protein intake low during this fast, less than 15g per day. 

I am not sure of the source for this, but I came to trust his information:

I was going to quote where NewLifeScience did the fast over 7 days and kept his calories as low as 600, but i see you were in that thread.

NLS is still with us so that is a good sign!

I also can do these fasts. It gets easier with each day. By the end of day 2 you aren't thinking about food every minute. Actually I think it is a good clean up fast, killing off not so great cells and washing them away and beginning the formation of new cells at an accelerated rate.

I'm thinking of doing it again after Christmas.

I  will keep closer to 750, working hard to keep protein at or below the 15 gram benchmark.

I expect to lose a couple of pounds, but it's all about the Rapamycin for me.

Interestingly MTOr which is a common  target in longevity suppliments, and it stands for:

mechanistic target of rapamycin
and used to e
mammalian target of rapamycin

Decreasing this activity has been shown to extend lifespan.

.... because it raises levels of rapamycin...  yes. It is extremely valuable.
