Intermittent Fasting

Sardines are one of the most nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods you can eat, but does eating only sardines actually count as fasting?On today's show, I break down the growing trend of "sardine fasting," explain why it's gaining popularity, and clarify the key differences between true fasting, fasting-mimicking diets, and simply following a low-calorie, high-protein plan.You'll learn why sardines, while incredibly healthy, do not lower IGF-1 or activate AMPK, why that matters for longevity and autophagy, and when a sardine-only day may—or may not—make sense depending on your goals.Join me on today's Cabral Concept, Episode 3646, to find out whether the sardine fasting diet really works and what you can do instead to achieve better results.Enjoy the show!- - -For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show:StephenCabral.com/3646- - -Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book:The Rain Barrel Effect- - -Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered:CabralSupportGroup.com- - -Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests:> Complete Minerals & Metals Test(Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity)- - -> Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test(Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels)- - -> Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test(Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels)- - -> Complete Food Sensitivity Test(Find out your hidden food sensitivities)- - -> Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test(Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)- - -Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall:StephenCabral.com/askcabral- - -Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?The best way to help me spread our mission of true natural health is to pass on the good word, and I read and appreciate every review!
