The Obesity Code by Jason Fung is eye opening.
Yes, 1-2 lbs a week seems to be about optimum. I call 1 lb a week slow weight loss.
Congrats! I found this is the simplest way to eat and still lose weight. I eat whatever I want....once a day. Including dessert occasionally.
A minimum of a 12 hour “fast” is needed to allow the brain to turn on simple housecleaning of plaques that built up during the day.

I’ve read of many benefits of fasting ...but
this is the first time I’ve read that fasting—beginning at 12 hours— enables the “housecleaning of plaques”
Can you cite where you have read that.
It does work well. I am in a dilemma sometimes. Like if somebody quits smoking for 6 months. You deserve a reward for that! How about a cigarette?
There are generally only two states the body is in “Fed” and “Fasted”, it takes roughly twelve hours after the last meal to enter the fasted state. That might even be overly optomistic with people on a “normal diet”
Importantly that’s (only) when the body can start burning fat for fuel, after glucose reserves in bloodstream, muscles and liver is exhausted.

Intermittent fasting is proving to be one of the most powerful ways to overcome Alzheimer's. This fasting trend is sweeping the nation, and indeed eating within a 12-hour window is enough to reap the brain-health powers of a daily fasting window.

Good news: When patients are keto-adapted you don't have to fast as long as Grandma Rose did. She fasted for over forty days. You don't even have to fast 24 hours. By establishing a ‘fasting window’ of 12 hours every day (this includes 8 hours while you sleep), you benefit from your body's recycling system. In fact, fasting can change the way you age.

Dr. Axe, who I trust A TON, points to a study showing that autophagy ramps up after 12 hours: Read the study here.
And KEY POINT here, AGAIN, autophagy is always occurring in the cells…it's just that fasting speeds up the “spring cleaning”!!! 😉

You want to change from lipitor to crestor. google jupiter study 2012. the problem with lipitor is that it doesn’t reduce inflammation. crestor reduces inflammation. consequentlythe death rates for people on lipitor are much higher than crestor
I’ll look into it, thanks. I do know my way around research studies. Learned statistics studying biotech investment for many years.
I had seen the nurse practitioner maybe 6 months ago to get clearance for a minor surgery. She said my kidney enzyme numbers were close to too high so of my own volition I stopped the lipitor. Last month saw the cardiologist and he said “no, I don’t know what she said to you but your numbers are fine I really want you back on the lipitor”. I was going to ask him about switching to crestor but got distracted in the other matters. I asked him if I could take a lower dose and he said no the dose you’re on is working good”.
But as you said, they are only looking at test result measurements on a computer screen and not much else.
