I put together a meal plan for insulin resistance using Whole Foods, here it is for free: http://www.thomasdelauer.com/eatrealfood - The best way to adhere to something is just have a plan. This is a thank you for joining my newsletter and asyxhing

I'm a 57 year old post-menopausal woman and I got absolutely wrecked with hormone driven weight gain. Fasting and intermittent fasting only made it worse due to cortisol. However, adding olive oil shots to my fasts, plus adopting a carnivore diet , was the key! Abdominal fat melted fast and my energy issues disappeared.

In the 70’s, I was a cook at a health resort for Dr. Loomis. The people who were fasting took shots of olive oil, but with garlic and cayenne, during fasts. They called it liver shots. They also sipped on lemon water with honey and cayenne, and later did wheatgrass shots. Also to facilitate the liver cleanse, during fasts they did coffee enemas. It makes the liver dump. High colonics during fasts were ideal. It was in this glass thing where you would see parasites and all kinds of disgusting. They also always drank herbal teas, you can find in the tea called smooth move. To keep flushing out while fasting, because your gut needs to move it out. I never see anyone discussing this these days but it’s huge. I saw people covered with liver spots, all gone in weeks. It was like making your body new again, and headspace to match. Joyful, vibrant etc.

About 6 weeks ago I started with just 1 tablespoon in the morning.  I have chronic psoriasis all over my body.  It's not fully healed but the difference is huge.  Now going to increase to 2 a day.

Black Seed Oil also activates signals to the AMPK pathway.
It also has a peppery taste

Tip: if you guys take vitamin D3/K2, it absorbs better if you take it with a fat… a shot of good olive oil is effective, if you’re not around any food

8:40 minutes start the video

You and Dr Eric Berg single handedly helped me to return my health without drugs and two of university professors in Medical faculty of Sarajevo asked me to send them all the info how I did it. Thank you.

Generally the olive oil in sardine tin is not good quality, so get the non olive oil sardines and add 15-30g good olive oil if needed

I watched this entire video and learned one  thing.  It reinforced what I already know. if you want to heal, Fast. Thanks for spending 11 minutes of my day reminding me to fast.

25 years ago I had a friend whose parents were Scientologists. They put her in the narc anon treatment plan those ppl have/do. They had her taking capsules full of beef liver and cayenne and drinking tons of olive oil everyday. She was the first person to ever tell me that removing all refined sugar could actually stop diabetes.
I’ve always said that with all the ish I talk about that gr(cult)oup, I may as well give them props for those two things.

If I can offer some advice, and I've been a fan of olive oil for years, look for extra virgin olive oil, early harvest, meaning it's high in polyphenols. The producer will definitely specify this on the bottle, as it's significantly more expensive. The price will be higher, but it's worth it. This healing olive oil will always have a tart taste due to the bitter aftertaste of the polyphenols on the palate, and it can even cause a burning sensation in the throat.

Quick note for mamas here - during pregnancy your body relies on mTOR activation so even if you’re consuming calories you do not want to activate AMPK - it can reduce fetal growth and alter placenta structure

I’m not gonna stop fasting. I will just add cold pressed organic extra virgin Olive oil to my current daily 16:8 schedule.

Okay, this is so weird. I literally discovered this a few months ago on accident. What I found is that when I do this "fast" for a day, I lose way more weight than if I just did a water fast. I was shocked. I would add 1/2 TBSP MCT (C8) oil and 1/2 TBSP of olive oil (and sometimes even add 1/2 TBSP butter) into either coffee for breakfast or broth for lunch and/or dinner. I would take this three to four times a day to equal 500 to 700 calories, and I would still lose 2-5 pounds in one day. But then I thought it stopped working. All of a sudden, the last two times I did it, I didn't lose much. Maybe 1/2 a pound, but I just realized I was out of olive oil so I just did the MCT and butter. I'm going to try it again with the olive oil added back in. This is crazy. lol

How do you use olive oil starts at 8:20.

I am a believer of medicinal effects of different oils because I have benefited from them. A table spoon of olive oil taken 10 mins before meals saves me from acid reflux. To get rid of a nasty fissure, I took a big tablespoon of olive oil before bed for 3 days and fissure was gone for good. Castor oil completely healed my severe skin burn within a week. I kept the castor oil pads on 24-7. At the end of the first day, I was relieved of much of the pain.

The mechanism by which "Olive Oil Fasting" may significantly increase autophagy (cellular cleanup) and reverse insulin resistance in a short period is based on the synergistic activation of key metabolic pathways by combining the fasting state with the bioactive compounds in high-quality olive oil.

The primary driver is the Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)'s polyphenol content, which essentially amplifies the benefits of calorie restriction.

Atkins wrote about Fat Fasting

A calorie free high source of Oleuropein is in Olive Leaves. You can drink Olive loose leaf tea and not break your fast by consuming calories.
