Bone broth and autophagy

Currently on an extended fast and I am trying to determine how homemade bone broth affects the typical fasting milestones. Just passed 61 hrs and had some bone broth around 32 hrs in.

Since bone broth has calories and high protein, would drinking some everyday essentially stop autophagy after every “meal” and reset the clock back to 0?

Answer

>some bone broth

How much is some? A teaspoon probably not.

All the studies that have been done on autophagy have been done with “pure fasting”, that is with no food whatsoever. So how much even a tiny drop of food will impact autophagy is unknown. My gut reaction (pun intended) is that a tiny little bit isn’t going to be do anything. But a big old bowl full of bone broth will.

Answer

When I fast I find it easier to eat nothing. Well except coffee…cuz I’m a coffee addict. But if I eat a single peanut I’ll be starving. I’m guessing for me then one broth would do the same. Have you tried skipping the bone broth completely? Or is that a crazy question?
