You may do "IF" anyway you like. It just means eating less often.
How do you prevent blood sugar crashes when fasting and hypoglycemic reactions? I assume that's not part of the protocol?

Are you sure you're having them? Have you gotten a picture of your daily glucose curve with a glucometer?
Adaptation to hypoxia or increased carbon dioxide limits the formation of lactic acid. Muscles are 50% more efficient in the adapted state;
glucose, which forms more carbon dioxide than fat does when oxidized,, is metabolized more efficiently than fats, requiring less oxygen.
Actually, the acetate used to synthesize cholesterol comes from fructose rather than from glucose.
This was highlighted by Pauling in his book "How to live longer and feel better" where he cited 2 experiments by Milton Winitz ( 1964 and 1970) where he proved with human volunteers that the feeding of sucrose (fructose + glucose) yielded higher cholesterol blood concentrations than just glucose alone ( calories adjusted).
Pauling proposed to lower the consumption of table sucrose in order to cut on the incidence of atherosclerosis, and thus of heart attacks.
Which is of course wrong, since the concentration of cholesterol has nothing to do with either atherosclerosis incidence or heart attacks, as was proved by Uffe Ravnskov.
I've not heard of a glucose curve before, how many times do you need to test to get the curve? When you fast and get hungry do you just ignore the feelings or is the plan to eat so much you don't feel hungry during the fasting period?
Does Vitamin E come mostly from PUFA sources? I've read some articles that says coconut oil is rich in Vitamin E, but there are no references. Vitamin E seems to be a mystery to me. I don't even think Ray Peat has expounded much on good Vitamin E sources. Funny thing is Ray says Vitamin E is more than just an antiozidant. According to him, t is classified by the FDA as an antioxidant because it does not want Vitamin E to be classified as an anti-estrogen, as I recall. That does not make Vitamin E unimportant at all.
Would you put this in the Ray Peat Advice thread so there is a record of this conversation @yerrag? That would be awesome for later reference.Me: The vitamin E in supplements are usually sourced from either soy or from wheat. Are there other sources of vitamin E from food? I can't find any good information on food that are good sources of vitamin E. My impression is that vitamin E can only be found in plants that have plenty of PUFAs. Once, you had mentioned that coconut oil contains Vitamin E, but I can't find supporting documents or articles saying so. If they were mentioned, it doesn't detail how much vitamin E is in them. I suspect that the vitamin E is in the sterols found in coconut, as part of the isoprenes available in plants. Am I right?
Ray: It’s removed in the refining. I asked a coconut oil producer in Mexico what he did with the diatomacous earth after it’s used in the refining, and he said he sold it to a chemical company.
I guess I'll just have to take the coconut milk then for vitamin E, not coconut oil. Ray also cautions against eating coconut meat, because of allergens in the protein.
I've got 6 of them. I'll put them in. It's good to be in that repository. Thanks Lisa.Would you put this in the Ray Peat Advice thread so there is a record of this conversation @yerrag? That would be awesome for later reference.

...when consumption of olive oil is high, the intake of squalene can reach 200-400 mg/day as observed in Mediterranean countries.
The decreased risk for various cancers associated with high olive oil consumption may be due to the presence of squalene.
where can one buy pure squalene??I intend to try pure squalene for it's pro metabolic and pro-neurosteroid effects (in combination with pure vitamin e oil).
